Easy to set it up, good support but we need to use APIs for external integration
When it comes to external systems, we need to use APIs. So, it needs some extra effort. When we are integrating with other applications, readily available connectors make it easy. However, when it comes to external applications, connectivity isn't as straightforward. We need to use RESTful APIs to get and push messages. While it's doable, it's not as simple as using the pre-built connectors. In future releases, Anypoint MQ can increase the message size limit a little bit. We faced issues while working with SAP integrations. SAP can have very large files, and we couldn't handle those within the Anypoint MQ limit.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It improves the performance."
"It is a stable product...The initial setup was simple."
"Good interface, simple to use and stable."
"The most valuable feature is their integrations and very good API management."
"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."
"Mule works very well with Salesforce and CRMs."
"The API toolkit is the solution's most valuable aspect at this time, for our organization."
"Mule Anypoint Platform's valuable features are its flexibility in terms of deployment and its SaaS capabilities."
"This is a good platform for designing, flowing out APIs, and then doing API-based integrations."
 

Cons

"Skill requirement is required. There is a learning curve."
"It has different types of subscriptions. For platinum or lower subscriptions, there are not too many things that can be done. We don't see many features. They should release a basic version that has logging and monitoring features. These features should come with Mule Anypoint Platform for free instead of making customers pay separately for these features. Its dashboard can be improved to have a lot of charts so that it is easy to visualize information. The utilization part can be improved. The dashboard is good currently, but it can be better. Other solutions like Elastic have a good dashboard, and they allow you to administer the product from the UI. Currently, for RTF, there is a different dashboard or utility. It would be good to include the same utility in the cloud solution. It would be good if there is a centralized repository that includes the links to the information about various troubleshooting issues. The documentation is there currently, and it is good, but the troubleshooting information is too scattered. We have to go to different links to find troubleshooting information. This kind of centralized repository would be helpful for new customers who are implementing this solution. It will be helpful to see different kinds of issues that can occur."
"The solution is very expensive. They need to work on the pricing."
"Better documentation, in particular with respect to the initial setup, would be helpful."
"This becomes an expensive solution over time."
"The high price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The initial setup should be made easy and the documentation should have some guidance."
"Pricing is one aspect of the solution that is troublesome. It's too expensive for smaller organizations."
"The inclusion of GenAI in the tool can be good since it is an area that is currently unavailable in the solution."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product comes complete at one set price including support."
