A low-performing integration tool
We use it as an in-house back-type integration tool. It allows us to have different integrations between different systems It does not perform well. It needs more reusable components that are unlimited in time. Furthermore, it relies on the files systems and does not create components, so it is…
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

"The stability of the solution is OK."
"The tool’s API management capabilities are excellent."
"The solution is scalable, and its performance is quite good."
"It's easy to develop APIs."
"Mule Anypoint Platform is our preferred platform for integration."
"The initial setup is quite easy because the solution has a good interface through which the configuration, mapping, and so on can be done."
"We are very satisfied with the DevOps support."
"The solution's market place for different kinds of integration platforms is the most valuable feature."
"Whenever we need some support in our local language, we get it easily. They also have an office in Germany and if a person is unable to contact them by phone, they can go to the office in person."
 

Cons

"It is not performing well."
"The pricing can be a little bit less."
"Code quality, Code Security, SaaS, and DaaS security, can all be improved."
"There is not much information on the internet...The transforming message is an area in the solution that needs to be improved."
"It's extremely expensive to change things in Anypoint MQ. There's also this issue of slow output of messages, and that needs to be improved."
"Over the years, Mule Anypoint Platform has undergone significant improvements. When I first started using it, the API gateway capabilities were fairly basic."
"Although the solution's proxy design and process are good, it faces connecting issues because it lacks data integration."
"From a monitoring point of view, MuleSoft Anypoint Platform can improve on tracking transactions. When dealing with multiple transactions or trading, the system can lose control, and tracking becomes hectic."
"I would like to see some data integration and automation."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"MuleSoft Anypoint Platform really needs to work on its pricing model because it's very complicated."
"The product is still very expensive."
"The product comes complete at one set price including support."
"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 solution has a high price."
"The solution's pricing, as per the old approach, is expensive."
"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"
"The licensing is core-based. My customers tell me that it's very expensive compared to the cost of other integration suites."
