Real-time data has transformed our workflows and delivers faster, more reliable insights
I have multiple favorite features of Tinybird that stand out to me. The first is real-time data processing, which enables timely access to operational and analytical information. Second, we love the SQL-based transformation, which makes data manipulation familiar and accessible to our engineering teams. Third, API development simplifies the exposure of analytical queries as an API for application consumption. Fourth, the data pipelines help us organize ingestion and transformation workflows. Tinybird supports data-intensive applications and growing analytical workloads by reducing the engineering effort involved in building custom analytics features. I really appreciate the combination of SQL-based development and API delivery, which creates a straightforward workflow for the engineering teams.I feel that Tinybird's data governance and data security are on point and compliant with HIPAA and ISO certification guidelines, so there are no challenges on that part. The accuracy and reliability of Tinybird's AI outputs are really great. I have not seen any problems or challenges in the AI outputs; they are pretty good and on point, without any hallucinations so far.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable features of the solution for securing APIs stem from the tool's ability to allow users to deploy policies."
"The solution has a feature called Flex, which is a low-latency API layer for passthrough APIs where you want data mapping but with very low latency and high scalability."
"The integration of API management with security features is valuable."
"It provides various advantages in the integration field, including support for Azure services and cloud integrations."
"Mulesoft is great in terms of reusability."
"MuleSoft Anypoint API Manager is a great solution. I like it very much because of its speed of delivery and because it allows API-led integration."
"We use it heavily because Azure offers better pricing than its competitors."
"The most valuable features are API development and API management."
"Tinybird is around two times faster."
"I really appreciate the combination of SQL-based development and API delivery, which creates a straightforward workflow for the engineering teams."
 

Cons

"Rather than focusing on numbers, they should focus more on the customer support service."
"An area for improvement in MuleSoft Anypoint API Manager is the process of applying policies because it's manual. It would be great if MuleSoft could make the process easier, particularly by automating it."
"The product is highly priced compared to other advanced software."
"With respect to the live help, I have language issues because I can't understand some of the things that I hear."
"The cost model could be improved."
"Their studio performance is very slow, it requires a lot of memory, and should be improved."
"I am not entirely satisfied with the support from MuleSoft. They can be slow in addressing security vulnerabilities, and transitioning versions is often their solution, with limited support windows causing difficulties in management decisions."
"Anypoint could be improved by making it more open and configurable for small companies, who tend not to consider the solution as it's expensive and requires a lot of costs upfront."
"Tinybird can be improved by simplifying it and having more AI features in the future. It can also be much faster because sometimes it can still be a bit laggy."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"MuleSoft Anypoint API Manager is an expensive solution."
"If one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the product price as six and a half to seven."
"I'm unsure about licensing costs because I'm not the person who handles this. But, ballpark, it's probably somewhere around $300,000-$400,000 or something like that."
"The pricing for this solution is cheaper than GCP and Bluemix."
"It is extremely high, and I would rate it one out of ten."
"The product is expensive."
"The solution looks more expensive on the surface because it builds all the functions into one core component or into an integrated suite of components."
"I think that it is pretty expensive."
