Though the tool reduces the internal hosting cost for businesses, it needs to provide more API integrations
I used Cleo Integration Cloud Platform for its EDI technology. In other words, the solution was hosted as an EDI solution. The product was used for a logistics company, where they used it to transfer EDI files and for partner connectivity on Cleo's network Using the product as a hosted solution…

Can seamlessly translate protocols and produce fairly quick results
Using the solution was great. It was part of the project that we didn't worry that much about. What I also liked about it was that even though I'm not that technical, I could go in and look at thoughts and events and confirm that the information we were looking for was making it across. I could check at the interface level and lessen the burden on validation within the application. The instrumentation within the solution is important. The ease of implementation is very important. Our partner development team had little trouble dealing with these diverse systems, with JSON on the one hand and SOAP on the other. The product’s ability to seamlessly translate protocols is great. The API-led connectivity is great. The reason that we took on the product was that we wanted to learn about it. We wanted to figure out how to use it. A big payoff for this will be in EHR integrations. These systems are all alike, yet they are all different. They all use EPIC, and each installation is a little bit different. It’s a challenge when we go to different hospitals. MuleSoft has made a name for itself in using the integrations.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature of the solution is the ease of use it provides. Cleo Integration Cloud Platform is a straightforward and simple product."
"The API toolkit is the solution's most valuable aspect at this time, for our organization."
"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."
"Messaging and queueing solution that has good stability and scalability. It can be used for a variety of messaging types."
"The flexibility has been great overall."
"The community manager is the standout feature of the Mule Anypoint Platform, as it provides a platform to showcase your API to external parties. It is exceptionally user-friendly and enables external parties to easily utilize and consume the APIs."
"The solution is scalable, and its performance is quite good."
"The most valuable feature is their integrations and very good API management."
"It is a stable product...The initial setup was simple."
 

Cons

"Currently, the solution fails to provide users with additional protocol assistance and API integrations, so the aforementioned areas need to be considered for improvement."
"The tool requires programming language."
"Pricing is one aspect of the solution that is troublesome. It's too expensive for smaller organizations."
"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."
"Code quality, Code Security, SaaS, and DaaS security, can all be improved."
"Mule Anypoint Platform should improve its pricing. In my experience, a customer using the sandbox version couldn't upgrade to the final version because it exceeded their budget. Another area for improvement is the login mechanism. We need to integrate with third-party products for strong authentication, but it would be better if MuleSoft had its own robust login mechanism."
"The stability could be better."
"There is not much information on the internet...The transforming message is an area in the solution that needs to be improved."
"The customer service is not good enough"
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing is core-based. My customers tell me that it's very expensive compared to the cost of other integration suites."
"Mule Anypoint Platform is an expensive solution."
"The product comes complete at one set price including support."
"The solution's pricing, as per the old approach, is expensive."
"Mule Anypoint Platform is affordable."
"Licensing can be complex as is the case with most iPaaS/cloud offerings."
"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."
"The product's price seems to be competent in comparison to other products in the market."
