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.

A robust and reliable data replication and integration providing real-time, heterogeneous data movement that significantly streamlines development and ensures cost-effectiveness
Having a graphical interface would greatly enhance the tool. A clean and user-friendly graphical interface based on common design principles would be beneficial. While the current interface is functional, incorporating a more visually intuitive design, perhaps inspired by widely used interfaces, would make it even more straightforward. Looking ahead to future releases, there are specific features I'd appreciate having. One such feature is the incorporation of pipelines, similar to those in Java, for seamless integration. Additionally, configuring for the Amazon Cloud is currently not straightforward; it often requires adding Python code to customize integrations. I would like to see an enhancement in this aspect, making the configuration process more straightforward and less reliant on intricate coding, particularly during meetings or collaborative sessions.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We use simple queues and exchanges to route messages to multiple queues. The publish/subscribe model is also helpful."
"It's easy to use and comes as a bundle package with the Anypoint Platform, removing the need for any complex setup."
"The tool’s API management capabilities are excellent."
"Good interface, simple to use and stable."
"The exchange and API management features are the best in the market."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is a huge list of available connectors for a lot of different platforms, which we can use very easily."
"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."
"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."
"It's very simple to configure, it's very simple to implement. In addition, the ability it has to capture data and transmit it with incredible speed is better than any of the product out there. It's extremely powerful."
"The replication of the data table is one of the best features."
"I like that the product transforms data and provides real-time applications."
"The live application feature is most valuable. The solution is stable. I rate it a seven out of ten."
"The product is reliable for data integrity."
"It is a scalable solution."
"It is quite scalable."
"One feature that stands out for me is the data center capability."
 

Cons

"MuleSoft's release calendar is rather conventional with two major, two minor releases and hotfixes in between. The competition sometimes offer more rapid release cycles and provides improved and new functionality with a faster time-to-market."
"I would like to see some data integration and automation."
"Information on monitoring could be improved."
"The product is expensive."
"Although the solution's proxy design and process are good, it faces connecting issues because it lacks data integration."
"The inclusion of GenAI in the tool can be good since it is an area that is currently unavailable in the solution."
"Lacks intelligent management data and intelligent mappings."
"Its documentation needed a little bit of work to make it more usable. It is a platform that is used mainly by developers and other people for connecting systems. Its documentation was confusing in some areas and was not very helpful in other areas. I had to go to a consultant to get some work done, which ideally shouldn't be required."
"The solution needs to improve its latency, monitoring and support."
"The solution is quite costly, and if they could reduce their pricing, it would be more economical to implement."
"IBM CDC has one central control while Oracle GoldenGate has two controls. In IBM CDC we can do all things in frontend. The solution needs to incorporate a feature where we can connect it to a standby database."
"The solution's licensing price is very expensive and could be made more competitive."
"The solution's performance needs improvement."
"It is not a very stable tool, and you need to monitor it perfectly."
"Technical support for Oracle products needs to be more efficient (at least locally in Egypt)."
"Monitoring must be a bit more enhanced."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's pricing, as per the old approach, is expensive."
"Mule is not the cheapest integration platform out there, but it deserves the price we are paying."
"The product is still very expensive."
"Mule Anypoint Platform pricing is slightly higher compared to Dell Boomi."
"Making changes in Anypoint MQ is expensive."
"I rate the product price a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"The solution has a high price."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing as four or five out of ten."
"We pay a yearly licensing fee for Oracle GoldenGate, which is very expensive."
"The tool needs to improve its pricing."
"The tool is a bit expensive."
"The return on investment would make it a worthwhile deal."
"We have an enterprise license for it. It might be for three years or so. I'm not aware of any additional costs to the standard licensing fee."
"We have purchased corporate licensing to use Oracle GoldenGate."
"Pricing is based on anual licensing with additional costs for support packages."
"The solution would be costly for a small organization."
