A stable, scalable, and reliable solution for moving and processing data

We're only considering enhancing the presentation layer to give a more multidimensional OLAP view that AWS seems to have decided on. Redshift with the data mart structure is like an OLAP cube. Oracle Analytics Cloud is an over-code killer and is not what we need. I was looking at Mondrian, which used to be part of the open-source stack from another vendor that works. Still, I am also looking at some of the other OLAP environments like Kaiser and perhaps decided to go to Azure with Microsoft Azure analysis cloud, but that's not multidimensional either as SSAS used to be. We tried the Mondrian, and that didn't perform how we expected. So, we are looking at resetting something to perform as an OLAP in the cloud, particularly AWS, so that we might consider an Azure solution.

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

"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is that orchestration and development capabilities are easier with the tool."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is a huge list of available connectors for a lot of different platforms, which we can use very easily."

"The product is very user-friendly."

"The most beneficial features for handling data integration with Mule Anypoint Platform include its ability to integrate seamlessly with other popular platforms like IBM, Dell Boomi, and Microsoft Azure. MuleSoft stands out due to its unique one-point solution for various integration problems, including application and network integration, and its iPaaS services. The Design Center allows for designing APIs that can be made into reusable assets. Additionally, MuleSoft's capability to handle various technologies, such as Python and Java Spring Boot APIs, and monitor them using the Flex Gateway is valuable. Regarding API management, MuleSoft offers a gateway facility, including Flex Gateway, which supports API management with robust governance capabilities. Policies like rate limiting, blocklisting, allowlisting, and client ID enforcement can all be managed through the API Manager, providing comprehensive control over API operations."

"Mule works very well with Salesforce and CRMs."

"We are very satisfied with the DevOps support."

"The most valuable features for us are flexibility, all the features related to connectivity with multiple connectors to the business, and the flexibility of on-premises and cloud deployments."

"The use of ACK is valuable."

"The exchange and API management features are the best in the market."

Cons

"It's almost semi-automatic because you must review and approve code push, which works well. Still, we had many problems getting there during the deployment process, but we got there."

"The user-defined functions have shortcomings in AWS Data Pipeline."

"The product is expensive."

"Pricing is one aspect of the solution that is troublesome. It's too expensive for smaller organizations."

"The platform's data integration tools need improvement on the processing side."

"There are so many solutions like this, but this is not as mature as those products. The other MQ products have the capability of reprocessing and maintaining the persistence of the data. They can handle large volumes and large messages, but Anypoint MQ doesn't have those capabilities."

"An on-premise setup requires special skills and you need a lot of professional services."

"We would like an entire DevOps in place in this particular solution."

"I would like to see some data integration and automation."

"The cost of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required, especially when compared to other tools, like Dell Boomi or Oracle."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the pricing between six to eight on a scale from one to ten, where one is low price, and ten is high price."

"The way we use it, I think it is fair as we're getting a good value for money compared to having a server or some other data pipeline."

"Licensing can be complex as is the case with most iPaaS/cloud offerings."

"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing as four or five out of ten."

"Mule Anypoint Platform pricing is slightly higher compared to Dell Boomi."

"The solution has a high price."

"The pricing of our solution is highly competitive. While it may not be categorized as exceptionally low, it is certainly more affordable compared to IBM."

"Making changes in Anypoint MQ is expensive."

"Mule is not the cheapest integration platform out there, but it deserves the price we are paying."

"Mule Anypoint Platform is an expensive solution."
