Handles a wide variety of data sources and efficiently organizes and manages integration processes
I'd recommend to invest in staff training upfront and carefully understand the licensing model and your data usage. I would suggest understanding how the licensing model works and how your data flows. This will give you a clearer notion of how much you are going to pay (potential cots). We invested a lot of time figuring out the implications of CPU usage, message rates, memory usage, as well as our data's origin and destination. This allows us to understand the true financial impact of MuleSoft Composer. Without this understanding, you might face unexpected costs. Overall, I would rate the solution nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

"The product is easy to use. You don't need programming skills to use it."
"The prebuilt connectors have saved our customers a lot of time and money."
"The advantage of using MuleSoft as part as the Salesforce ecosystem is that anything new they build is guaranteed to work with the new features that are coming from the other side."
"The functionality of MuleSoft to connect with any database is the most important feature."
"It is easier to use than other technical open-source technologies."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Workato is low code, intuitive, and easy to use."
"It's easy to understand, makes flows and is efficient."
"The most valuable features are easy integration, quick tab to develop, quick tab to market, and interactive integration platform."
"It is very easy to use. It takes complex workloads away, and it provides very smooth integration. It has got a lot of out-of-the-box connectors. It has got a lot of out-of-the-box APIs, which makes it really easy to integrate with applications for different use cases, whether it is in finance, HR, or customer operations. It is by far our favorite integration product."
"Their automation and workflows are very strong, and you can build the workflows very easily and quickly."
 

Cons

"The technical support team's response time must be improved."
"There is also one limitation. We cannot see logs, latencies, or request counts."
"MuleSoft Composer needs to improve its interface and scalability."
"One additional feature they could add might be something like regional prices. Since we're based in Brazil, we pay in dollars but earn in Brazilian Real."
"This solution could be improved by offering more integrations with other platforms."
"Workato's Extract, transform, and load (ETL) and extract, load, and transform (ELT) are not very strong and could be improved for very complex transformations."
"It is tedious to make a tailor-fit function."
"The only minor drawback would be if there was a UI at the front of it, for apps and for a portal as well, it would make it really easy. It would be really useful if there were more apps capabilities."
"The management dashboard in the solution is an area with shortcomings that needs improvement."
"A limitation is that their cloud presence is only in North America and Europe."
"From the deployment point of view, our customers encounter platform downtime where it does not serve the actual request on the systems."
"I would like to see the dashboarding and reporting processes improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"MuleSoft Composer is affordable, and I rate its pricing a five to six out of ten."
"The tool is a bit expensive."
"Salesforce is licensed by user and by products and so pricing depending on what your requirements are."
"It's costly, especially for Indian clients."
"On a scale of one to ten, the pricing is around a six. We have a consumption model and the pricing is higher. If you are using any kind of ML-based approach, machine learning, or some advanced analytics, you may have to pay more."
"Workato is an expensive solution."
"Speaking about price, I would say that it's market-related. Also, there are costs in addition to the standard license fees since different add-ons depend on what you require."
