Integration workflows have become transparent and secure while error tracking is streamlined

The best features in MuleSoft Anypoint Platform for me are transparency between logging in or deploying and using different environments. Managing different environments for the transparency of error logins or how to trace traceability is very important. It's very easy to use and sort, so you can see where everything has gone right and everything has gone wrong. I'm aware of the drag-and-drop interface in MuleSoft Anypoint Platform, and it's very, very quick. It's very time-saving and very efficient. The security features on MuleSoft Anypoint Platform help maintain data integrity in my organization; I would say it's second to none. It's one of the best out there that I have worked with because of the encryption and decryption, and there are a lot of security aspects. I would assess the platform's data mapping and transformation capabilities as amazing. Automation has been straightforward; the transformation and mapping have been easy to use, easy to source, and from the source to the target. I would say it has been very good.

Effective data transformation and integration in complex environments with high functionality

Something that could be improved in WSO2 Enterprise Integrator is that the problem is not a lack of capability or functionalities. The problem is that it is a very complex environment. To put your hand on this environment is a very demanding task. This is the real problem. The problem is not about the product, but about the complexity to manage, to configure, to decide what to do. I have some experience using SAP R/3. It seems to me something similar. When you have to configure a situation with a client, especially for a client not in an industrial sector, but in a service sector, it is quite usual that you are in trouble for some reason. This is always the story that I found in the implementations I have done. Maybe there are only three or four big problems, in some other cases there are more than that, but this is the situation usually. For WSO2 Enterprise Integrator, not the same, but I must say it is quite often there is a need to put together some pieces and make it work in a coordinated way.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"MuleSoft Anypoint Platform's most valuable features are its observability and stability."

"The integration potential is excellent."

"The most beneficial features for handling data integration with Mule Anypoint Platform include its ability to integrate seamlessly with other popular platforms like IBM, Dell Boomi, and Microsoft Azure. MuleSoft stands out due to its unique one-point solution for various integration problems, including application and network integration, and its iPaaS services. The Design Center allows for designing APIs that can be made into reusable assets. Additionally, MuleSoft's capability to handle various technologies, such as Python and Java Spring Boot APIs, and monitor them using the Flex Gateway is valuable. Regarding API management, MuleSoft offers a gateway facility, including Flex Gateway, which supports API management with robust governance capabilities. Policies like rate limiting, blocklisting, allowlisting, and client ID enforcement can all be managed through the API Manager, providing comprehensive control over API operations."

"The most valuable feature of Anypoint MQ is it comes with MuleSoft so we don't have to maintain separate components."

"The most valuable feature for me is the Exchange sub-tool."

"MuleSoft's integration with Salesforce products makes it a preferred choice for those setups."

"The ability to define multi-tiered APIs and reuse them is a fantastic platform feature."

More MuleSoft Anypoint Platform pros

More WSO2 Enterprise Integrator pros

Cons

"The solution is very expensive. They need to work on the pricing."

"Adding connectors for new upcoming applications would add extra value to this product."

"The product is expensive."

"The stability could be better."

"In MuleSoft Anypoint Platform, there is a disadvantage because users need substantial technical understanding, which creates a barrier for citizen developers."

"Although the solution's proxy design and process are good, it faces connecting issues because it lacks data integration."

"Anypoint MQ could improve the user interface."

"It's extremely expensive to change things in Anypoint MQ. There's also this issue of slow output of messages, and that needs to be improved."

More MuleSoft Anypoint Platform cons

"The customization can be a bit difficult."

"I would like to see better documentation for the open-source version."

"They should release upgrades more frequently."

"The main issue with the product is pricing. It uses core-based pricing for WSO2 Enterprise Integrator and API Manager. It would be best if you had APIM by default. It provides many connectors for easy integration with third-party systems."

"The administration side is complex and could use significant improvements to enhance the solution's functionality."

"I would like to see them bring back a feature, from earlier versions, that was very useful in debugging and finding issues."

"The micro integrator should be improved. There is room for enhancement considering alternative integration components."

"The integration capabilities need to be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I can't give you a straightforward answer because sometimes it depends on the usage. If you're going to have fewer than 5 million messages, it is free of cost. If you're going to have more than 5 million messages, they're going to charge $100 per month"

"Mule Anypoint Platform is affordable."

"The product comes complete at one set price including support."

"The tool's pricing is cheaper than other RPAs' since it is execution-based. Other RPAs charge based on subscriptions."

"MuleSoft Anypoint Platform really needs to work on its pricing model because it's very complicated."

"The pricing of our solution is highly competitive. While it may not be categorized as exceptionally low, it is certainly more affordable compared to IBM."

"The solution's pricing, as per the old approach, is expensive."

"The tool is heavily bundle-priced. I rate the solution’s pricing five on a scale of ten, where one is expensive, and ten is cheap."

More MuleSoft Anypoint Platform pricing and cost advice

"The solution costs about 20,000 or 30,000 euros per year, per instance."

"It is a low-cost solution."

"The open-source, unsupported version is available free of charge."

"The pricing of WSO2 Enterprise Integrator for enterprise subscriptions can be considered expensive, especially from the perspective of someone who prefers open-source software."

"I rate the product price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."

"The cost is better than IBM Cloud Pak."
