I am using MuleSoft Anypoint Platform right at the moment. Any challenges with MuleSoft Anypoint Platform so far depend on the integration we're doing. Some integrations can be challenging, depending on having to whitelist some of the URLs and then getting the postman collection or dealing with SAP layers and the different basis layers. Other than that, it's okay. It depends on the challenges. I would say it's an easy, user-friendly tool. I'm more behind the scenes in terms of deployment for MuleSoft Anypoint Platform. I get everything ready, but I oversee a lot of that part in that regard. The team works on it on a daily basis for any issues with the errors, error logins, and investigation. That's where you can find me. Deployment takes a couple of hours, depending on the integration as well. My colleagues use the Anypoint Exchange feature, but I don't use it. I would say it's beneficial in terms of finance to use MuleSoft Anypoint Platform because it's one of the chosen tools we are using in the organization. From what I hear, I'm not in the meetings, but I could say it is beneficial. I would rate this review a nine out of ten.

I am a partner of Salesforce. I tried to understand why Boomi is stronger in the market than Mule Anypoint Platform. However, I could not find any disadvantages of Mule Anypoint Platform. The product has been in the market for a long time. It has also introduced AI features. It can take issues and divert them based on dynamic data. ROI is not the only factor we consider. We must also consider scalability, smooth and hassle-free use, time to production, and time taken for testing. We can monitor things in real-time. I recommend the solution to enterprises. It is a good solution to migrate from TIBCO. The tool has an API manager with a dedicated console to control the policies and everything else. Everything is integrated. We can call relevant data on the go. Nothing is hard-coded. If we want to get data from a particular source, we can automatically get it based on the AI input. Overall, I rate the tool an eight to nine out of ten.

Speaking about whether the product has significantly improved our company's data exchange processes, I would say that at this point in time, we are trying to deal with the concerns associated with the front-end part. For me, seamless exposure is what I was looking for in a product, and so my company is still evaluating multiple solutions apart from Mule Anypoint Platform. The platform's cloud integration capabilities are good. In the current scenario, most of the products have to be on the cloud for multiple reasons. It is not only Mule Anypoint Platform but also other platforms that seamlessly integrate with the cloud services. My company was also looking at Dell Boomi for cloud integration since my company wants to use an iPaaS solution. Mule Anypoint Platform's cloud integration is fine and does not have any issues. Rather than as a data transformation tool, it is more about the seamless connectivity that the product of the head office and back office systems provides, as well as the clear exposure of APIs the solution provides. The aforementioned features of the product will translate to fast time to market, so I can see how fast I can seamlessly integrate and expose. It is beneficial to my business agility, where you can seamlessly connect and expose. If I want to roll out new products and services, the benefits from the time spent on the market because of the seamless access will crop up. Considering the factors associated with product-agnostic solutions, I would recommend the Mule Anypoint Platform to other people, especially if it matches their use cases. When it comes to some use cases, like Salesforce-specific use cases or SAP-specific use cases, we can have a look at different platforms. I rate the overall tool an eight and a half out of ten.
I would recommend using it. If it's for MuleSoft integrations, then definitely a green signal for Anypoint MQ. In the case of external applications, I haven't actually tried it. Overall, I would rate the solution a seven out of ten.
If customers using open-source integration or any springboard integrations need JMS, they must carefully evaluate the product. I would recommend Anypoint MQ only for MuleSoft customers. I won't recommend the solution to customers using a different integration platform because there's a cost associated with the product. Overall, I rate Anypoint MQ an eight out of ten.
Anypoint MQ has stability issues. I have experienced data loss and inconsistent behaviour. The data isn't always pushed to the SQL database. When I put a message in the SQL queue, the data should be static, but it's not. Additionally, clicking a message in Anypoint MQ can sometimes trigger database loss. This instability becomes particularly noticeable when starting or restarting the server. Overall, I rate the solution a four out of ten.

I can recommend this solution to MuleSoft users. Those are not individual users who only want a messaging system. This solution comes packaged with MuleSoft. I rate Anypoint MQ a seven out of ten.

I thought we had a problem with our queuing software, and it turned out that it's not the software itself, it's the third party. We're passing the messages on to the third party, and they can only receive it at a certain rate, so we had to drop the Anypoint MQ software down, but it's not actually the MQ software, rather it's the actual third party application that was causing the problem. As I'm working on the SAP side, I'm not sure if I'm the best person to discuss about the features I like most about the solution. My advice to others looking into implementing the solution is to first look at what you're trying to achieve, because you've got Anypoint MQ as your queueing software, and then you've got the Apache Kafka software as well, and they do different things. I didn't realize this when I started looking, because I was looking at Kafka thinking that would be the answer to our problem, but it wasn't, because it looks great if you want instantaneous messaging and loads of bandwidth, but you need to do the interpretation of messages. I'd say, look at what you want it for, because Anypoint MQ seems to be as good as the other options, to be fair. I'd also tell them about the problem I've had with it, and that's not just going to be a problem with Anypoint MQ alone, because I think other systems will have the same problem, e.g. the queuing problem. I'll tell others to really, really look at the application. Anypoint MQ seems to be a standard application, and it's acceptable. My overall impression of Anypoint MQ in terms of rating it, is seven out of ten, but that's just based on my feeling. I don't have any quantifiable reasons on why I'm giving it that score.

I would rate this solution 6 out of 10. We thought that this was a pure demo product. We moved from IBM to MuleSoft thinking that it would work like IBM, but that's not what happened. My advice is to try to evaluate the product beforehand and see whether it fits your needs and requirements. Check if it covers all of your use cases. Otherwise, it won't work. There are a lot of MQ products on the market, but this is suitable for small scale customers and not for large scale. We haven't switched solutions yet, but the plan is to switch because of this product's limitations. It doesn't cover all the use cases.
