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.

Good flow design interface, scalable, and provides a good variety of connectors
Improvements can be made in several areas, as follows: * Configurable timeouts on each connection would be better than a single global timeout that applies to all. The rationale for why timeouts are necessary is described here: https://weblog.singhpora.com/2019/07/fault-tolerance-in-integration-flows.html In my opinion, this feature can actually save resources (CPU, memory) for Oracle and also deliver better runtime functionality to customers. * Retryable scopes and activities could be useful. * Easier ability to edit a DB operation via DBAdapter when a schema changes, such as a column added or removed from a table (Update Aug 2022: it's possible via the wizard but needs a slightly non-intuitive series of steps) * Ability to add Java libraries for very corner situations like file/ftp adapter valves, which is a feature that exists in Oracle Service Bus and can be very useful in some rare situations. * OIC arteracts should support standard source control formatting for easier comparison across versions

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 is the variety of characters Anypoint Platform has. It is very scalable and customizable."
"The monitoring capabilities of this product are very good because of the feedback it supplies in statistics."
"The integration potential is excellent."
"MuleSoft Anypoint Platform's most valuable features are its observability and stability."
"The tool’s API management capabilities are excellent."
"The solution's market place for different kinds of integration platforms is the most valuable feature."
"The solution is scalable, and its performance is quite good."
"Mule Anypoint Platform's valuable features are its flexibility in terms of deployment and its SaaS capabilities."
"Technical support responds quickly."
"People are able to scale up, learn it quickly, and start delivering."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The most valuable features of Oracle Integration Cloud Service are the seeded integrations with many communication platforms, such as Slack and emails. It works best for the historical communication methods. Those are still prevalent with all the other clients. When we are doing the integrations, it makes it a little bit easier for us to communicate the same output over Slack, rather than sending out an email and downloading the report. The number of seeded functionalities within the Oracle Integration Cloud Service platform is better."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of customization."
"The product's initial setup phase is simple."
"Oracle Integration Cloud Service integrates well and is user-friendly. If you are not a developer or ops engineer you can still use the solution with ease. You do not need to have developers' knowledge, you can easily adapt and learn quickly to integrate the services. They have good documentation."
"Oracle Integration Cloud Service offers a lot of adaptors."
 

Cons

"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's licensing model is expensive and could be improved."
"In order to set up a storefront, we currently rely on a third-party solution. It would greatly enhance our operations if this feature was integrated into their existing solution."
"The solution is very expensive. They need to work on the pricing."
"The solution is very costly. The solution should provide a package with fewer capabilities at a lower price for specific companies that don’t have a big IT budget. Not every customer requires all the capabilities of the software. It will be a good fit in the market, and they will easily sell it more."
"Mule Anypoint Platform could improve by having better integration with MDM. There are challenges when doing the interaction at this time."
"Anypoint MQ could improve the user interface."
"The stability could be better."
"In designer mode, sometimes the browser closure or other unknown issues can cause strange behavior, which requires a restart."
"Oracle-based automation blueprints for the majority of the integrations would be helpful to have in a future release."
"We would love to have more and more ready-to-use interfaces from Oracle."
"The solution is expensive."
"With JSON, if the tool provides support similar to XML, then it would be helpful."
"Lacks features for more complex integrations."
"The error retrying mechanism could be improved. If an error occurs, it can be retried automatically, it would be helpful."
"It would be helpful if there were more tutorials or documentation to learn about Oracle Integration Cloud Service."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Price-wise, it is a good product since it is reasonably priced."
"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."
"The tool's pricing is cheaper than other RPAs' since it is execution-based. Other RPAs charge based on subscriptions."
"The product is still very expensive."
"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 licensing is core-based. My customers tell me that it's very expensive compared to the cost of other integration suites."
"The product comes complete at one set price including support."
"The solution has a high price."
"Oracle uses a universal credit model for OCI. Clients commit to an annual budget and can choose which products to use and build during their contract period. Billing is based on consumption - you're only billed for the products you use."
"Its pricing is relatively lower than other vendors."
"It specifies how much data you use and how much storage you require, among other things."
"The solution is cost-effective."
"The price of Oracle Integration Cloud Service is good. It is reasonable and is priced well for the market segment. The model they use is on a per-package unit and we have a two-year subscription."
"In the case of Oracle Integration Cloud, costs can be "predictable" as far as the platform and infrastructure are concerned."
"The price is cheaper than all other cloud integration providers."
"The solution is less expensive than other products."
