Excellent bulk data processing for large enterprises
Co>Operating System's most valuable feature is its ability to process bulk data effectively Co>Operating System would be improved with more integrations for less well-known technologies. In the next release, Co>Operating System should include some AI capabilities on the data governance side, like…
Vijay Subramanyam - PeerSpot reviewer
Robust, reliable, and stable, ensuring high availability for critical integrations
I would rate the scalability an eight out of ten; it is a highly scalable solution. We have around 200 end users using this solution in our company. We use it to its maximum capacity. However, it's not for P1 applications, but definitely for severity two cases (P2 level). It integrates critical applications, but it's not a platform that, if it stops, the entire system would come down. So, it's more like a severity two level. However, it has the potential to eventually become a P1 platform. Not exactly P1 applications, but a P1 platform. Because now we are still in the transition to migrate everything, all the integrations to Mule Anypoint Platform. But once it's done, then this platform becomes critical. Because even now, we have point-to-point connections.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Co>Operating System's most valuable feature is its ability to process bulk data effectively."
"Ab Initio reaches the highest performance and is very flexible in processing huge amounts of data."
"The tool’s API management capabilities are excellent."
"We are very satisfied with the DevOps support."
"The API toolkit is the solution's most valuable aspect at this time, for our organization."
"Initially, we faced challenges managing numerous scheduled jobs and duplicate entries in our SAP system. To address this, we developed a reusable component in Mule that all applications could use to interact with SAP."
"It's easy to develop APIs."
"API management."
"Mule Anypoint Platform is our preferred platform for integration."
"The most valuable feature of Mule Anypoint Platform is rapid development."
 

Cons

"An awesome improvement would be big data solutions, for example, implementing some kind of business intelligence or neural networks for artificial intelligence."
"Co>Operating System would be improved with more integrations for less well-known technologies."
"The product does not provide a priority level for the message."
"The solution is very costly. The solution should provide a package with fewer capabilities at a lower price for specific companies that don’t have a big IT budget. Not every customer requires all the capabilities of the software. It will be a good fit in the market, and they will easily sell it more."
"Anypoint MQ could improve the user interface."
"The initial setup should be made easy and the documentation should have some guidance."
"Over the years, Mule Anypoint Platform has undergone significant improvements. When I first started using it, the API gateway capabilities were fairly basic."
"There is not much information on the internet...The transforming message is an area in the solution that needs to be improved."
"The runtime management and connectors could use some work and are vulnerable to breakage after upgrades."
"MuleSoft's release calendar is rather conventional with two major, two minor releases and hotfixes in between. The competition sometimes offer more rapid release cycles and provides improved and new functionality with a faster time-to-market."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Co>Operating System's pricing is on the expensive end since it tends to be used by big enterprises."
"The product's price seems to be competent in comparison to other products in the market."
"Regarding pricing, I believe there could be room for improvement to align with user expectations."
"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"
"Licensing can be complex as is the case with most iPaaS/cloud offerings."
"Mule Anypoint Platform pricing is slightly higher compared to Dell Boomi."
"I rate the product price a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"Price-wise, it is a good product since it is reasonably priced."
"The tool's pricing is cheaper than other RPAs' since it is execution-based. Other RPAs charge based on subscriptions."
