Subhajit Bhattacharjee - PeerSpot reviewer
Exceptional drag-and-drop integration module
It would be great to have more assistance and credit services for additional features. For instance, virtual class initials are available but not for backend processing moves. Making that more visible, like other Azure products, would be helpful. Moreover, the documentation is good, but it could be improved. It is changing every day, and I sometimes find that it's not updated enough or some code levels are not included.
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

"Boomi iPaaS has substantially reduced operational costs by providing out-of-the-box connectors that expedite the integration process with enterprise systems."
"The product's integration features are quite rich and low code. It is easy to use."
"AtomSphere Integration will suit those looking for small automation and simple integrations."
"The connection configuration part and the drag-and-drop integration module are the most valuable features for me."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"Low-code development is the most valuable feature."
"The solution has a lot of connectors, which is quite helpful."
"The Salesforce and NetSuite Application specific “connectors” provide a layer of abstraction on top of the SOAP-based APIs to streamline integration development."
"Initial setup was very straightforward. Deployment is a cakewalk."
"The solution is scalable, and its performance is quite good."
"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."
"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 product is very user-friendly."
"The solution is very scalable with solid performance and the capability of extending it using any custom Java in case you don't have anything out of the box. MDP is strong. It is good compared to other products regarding its capabilities in managing or orchestrating the issue load."
"MuleSoft offers with the Anypoint Platform a unified platform for API management and an integration Platform as a Service (iPaaS) as well as an on-premise Enterprise Service Bus pattern."
"The platform's cloud integration capabilities are good."
 

Cons

"They need to introduce more configurable functions to remove scripting or coding. Scripting should be minimized. It should have exhaustive functions. Currently, it lacks in this aspect."
"It crashes if we run high-volume integration."
"We encountered stability issues occasionally, one to two times a year."
"The high price of the solution is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"There are very few string handling functions and few mathematical functions are available."
"There should be more scripting possibilities."
"It is a costly platform. Its pricing could be better."
"Boomi AtomSphere Integration should scale up on the migration area."
"Price-wise, it is a good product since it is reasonably priced...Mule Anypoint Platform can get too complex for non-technical people."
"Anypoint MQ's capabilities are mainly used for messaging purposes, but it doesn't have typical use cases that extend as far as other Message Queue software."
"The high price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The solution's licensing methodologies could be improved."
"Although the solution's proxy design and process are good, it faces connecting issues because it lacks data integration."
"Better documentation, in particular with respect to the initial setup, would be helpful."
"Mule Anypoint Platform is complex for beginners. Users without programming skills will find it complex. It should also improve its pricing."
"The tool requires programming language."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This solution is very economical (based on the connections)."
"The pricing is not reasonable at all. It's very high."
"They do not charge by the number of people using the software (client-server model), but rather they charge based on the number of connections used. This makes it very cost effective."
"When it comes to pricing, it's not so much about being less expensive as it is about how they don't tie to the hardware on the underlined VMware that you run on, as other vendors do"
"Approximately 20k annually."
"I rate the product's price an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"There could be an easy-to-understand licensing model."
"The cost of the solution is in the neighborhood of $20,000 annually. There are no costs above the standard licensing fee."
"The tool is heavily bundle-priced. I rate the solution’s pricing five on a scale of ten, where one is expensive, and ten is cheap."
"Licensing can be complex as is the case with most iPaaS/cloud offerings."
"Mule Anypoint Platform pricing is slightly higher compared to Dell Boomi."
"The solution is the priciest in the market which is an issue for some clients."
"Mule is not the cheapest integration platform out there, but it deserves the price we are paying."
"The product comes complete at one set price including support."
"Mule Anypoint Platform is an expensive solution."
"I rate the product price a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
