We are using MuleSoft API Manager in our organization. Currently, we also have Azure API management gateways in use. However, due to cost considerations, we are more inclined towards Azure API M but continue to use MuleSoft API Manager as well.
View full review »Our primary use case for MuleSoft API Manager is to manage APIs and publish APIs so that whoever is the consumer can understand and access the API specifications on the exchange.
They can build their codes based on those specifications when calling or consuming our APIs or pushing data to our APIs. It is also used for testing purposes, as API Manager provides stubs for initial testing, which helps consumers.

We have developed interfaces for companies with SOAP-based APIs using WS security and REST-based APIs with OAuth security. Our requirements included streaming large files with MTOM attachments without storing the entire file in memory.

The goal is to align reusable process APIs to that framework and then tie them back to system APIs that decouple your systems of record. It's a huge program to resurface credit unions and banks completely using APIs.

We worked predominantly for the BFSI financial sectors and for one of the automobile industries. They're taught in Europe.
The applications where the customers wanted to download a report, a customer is associated with multiple customers, where they wanted to download the reports for analytics or just wanted to see what is the annual income or something like that. We expose an API for each customer. We will apply a policy where the APIs are being secured. So, each customer will have their own client ID and client secrets.

I have dealt with a few use cases involving MuleSoft Anypoint API Manager, but I am unsure whether its features are useful in my company. The tool is useful for the governance of APIs that I have created with some policies, like SLA-based policies or rate-limiting policies. In general, it is an advanced product.
The main reason for using MuleSoft Anypoint API Manager is that the company's external systems inside the customers' ecosystem need to be publicly called APIs by providing the paid version of API so that anyone can access the endpoints from the internet. In our company, we need some tools to configure who can or can't call you while being able to control the amount of calls, irrespective of how many they are. In our company, the tool becomes useful to make five calls per minute with our current license.
The use cases are regarding telecommunication provisioning. Another aspect involves managing logistics, which includes connecting suppliers and the company's partners.

We primarily use the solution for API management.
We're using MuleSoft API Manager to integrate with an endpoint in our backend system to import much information into Salesforce. Other tools didn't allow for as many API calls, so we used it to create a new endpoint.

We do business with a lot of other vendors and customers. Our main core business is to lend loans and lease furniture. In this context, we have to create partners and we have to do multiple transactions with multiple vendors and multiple facilitators. In this venture, we consider APIs the best, and our most sophisticated medium to communicate with other partners and other lenders at home and elsewhere.
We want APIs to be the most sophisticated and more robust. REST APIs are the core in this area. We have been using Mulesoft specifically to create our REST APIs, enlarge them, and also expose the endpoints to our vendors so that they can use them. Internally, we have been using the APIs extensively for all of our internal application communication. Raw ping and workflow and all those things. We use this Mulesoft extensively for API management, REST API stack, and also for the workflow.
