Helps us monitor real-time data, but the scalability needs improvement
In a project where we migrated from on-prem solutions to the cloud, we used Matillion and Snowflake, which streamlined the process significantly Matillion ETL's ability to conduct end-to-end data migration is valuable. We can create jobs, monitor them, and manage workflows effectively. The…

Scales well, high availability, and convenient to use
The initial setup of the Mule Anypoint Platform is simple. My team was trained in only a few weeks. The process of deployment took a couple of hours. My advice to others is for them to use the catalyst service. They help you get started and gradually let you be on your own. Mule Anypoint Platform is also highly convenient since my team was able to quickly set up the new team for the initial implementation. Within a few weeks, they began developing independently, gradually reducing the need for external support and focusing on efficiently running the system with internal resources. I rate the initial setup of the Mule Anypoint Platform a nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's been able to do everything we require."
"Matillion ETL is one hundred percent stable."
"The solution's most valuable feature is the CDC (Change Data Capture) component."
"Matillion ETL helps manage data movement, ingestion, and transformation through pipelines."
"It has improved the costs of managing my customer’s data."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"It has good integrations with Amazon Redshift and other AWS services."
"It is pretty user-friendly, even for people who aren't super technical."
"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."
"The product’s ability to seamlessly translate protocols is great."
"Messaging and queueing solution that has good stability and scalability. It can be used for a variety of messaging types."
"Mule Anypoint Platform is our preferred platform for integration."
"It can scale."
"The exchange and API management features are the best in the market."
"MuleSoft Anypoint Platform's most valuable features are its observability and stability."
"The product is very user-friendly."
 

Cons

"Performance can be improved for efficiency, and it can be made faster."
"The current version is a bit more limited because it's on a virtual machine, and everything executes on that one virtual machine."
"Unlike Snowflake which automatically takes care of upgrading to the latest version and includes additional features, with Matillion ETL we need to do this ourselves."
"Going forward, I would like them to add custom jobs, since we still have to run these outside of Matillion."
"The product must enhance its near-real-time data capture feature."
"Our main challenge currently is that Matillion runs on an EC2 instance, limiting us to running only two processes simultaneously at the entry level."
"The tool's lineage is very weak."
"In the next release, we would like to have connections to more databases."
"Price-wise, it is a good product since it is reasonably priced...Mule Anypoint Platform can get too complex for non-technical people."
"The pricing can be a little bit less."
"The high price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Mule Anypoint Platform is complex for beginners. Users without programming skills will find it complex. It should also improve its pricing."
"The platform's data integration tools need improvement on the processing side."
"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."
"We would like an entire DevOps in place in this particular solution."
"Better documentation, in particular with respect to the initial setup, would be helpful."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost of the solution is high and could be reduced."
"It was procured through the AWS Marketplace because it keeps things simple. They offer retail-like checkout and bill through your existing Amazon Web Services account."
"It is not necessarily a cheap solution. However, it's reasonable priced, especially with the smaller machines that we run it on."
"The absence of licensing commitments makes it easy to experiment with the tool, and if we decide it's not suitable, we can simply stop the ETL instance and cease incurring charges."
"Matillion ETL is expensive."
"The AWS pricing and licensing are a cost-effective solution for data integration needs."
"The prices needs to be lower."
"Its price depends on what you expect. You pay on a monthly basis, but there is a possibility to have special contracts depending on the installation."
"Price-wise, it is a good product since it is reasonably priced."
"The product is still very expensive."
"Mule Anypoint Platform is affordable."
"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."
"The tool's pricing is cheaper than other RPAs' since it is execution-based. Other RPAs charge based on subscriptions."
"Mule is not the cheapest integration platform out there, but it deserves the price we are paying."
"I rate the product price a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten 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"
