Can seamlessly translate protocols and produce fairly quick results
Using the solution was great. It was part of the project that we didn't worry that much about. What I also liked about it was that even though I'm not that technical, I could go in and look at thoughts and events and confirm that the information we were looking for was making it across. I could check at the interface level and lessen the burden on validation within the application. The instrumentation within the solution is important. The ease of implementation is very important. Our partner development team had little trouble dealing with these diverse systems, with JSON on the one hand and SOAP on the other. The product’s ability to seamlessly translate protocols is great. The API-led connectivity is great. The reason that we took on the product was that we wanted to learn about it. We wanted to figure out how to use it. A big payoff for this will be in EHR integrations. These systems are all alike, yet they are all different. They all use EPIC, and each installation is a little bit different. It’s a challenge when we go to different hospitals. MuleSoft has made a name for itself in using the integrations.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution's market place for different kinds of integration platforms is the most valuable feature."
"API management."
"The platform's cloud integration capabilities are good."
"The initial setup is quite easy because the solution has a good interface through which the configuration, mapping, and so on can be done."
"The API toolkit is the solution's most valuable aspect at this time, for our organization."
"The community manager is the standout feature of the Mule Anypoint Platform, as it provides a platform to showcase your API to external parties. It is exceptionally user-friendly and enables external parties to easily utilize and consume the APIs."
"The tool is very capable and offers a high performance. The tool supports batch processing and ETL processing."
"The most valuable feature of Mule Anypoint Platform is rapid development."
"It saves us a lot of time and money by doing jobs automatically."
"It is very easy and easy to use, and minimal supervision is required to run it."
"We can achieve anything that anything that we would like to do. In SAP, it's not generally possible with just with SAP. So we have solution manager as an option, but run by job."
"The automated alert response is very useful for long-running and failed jobs during off-business hours."
"In Redwood Automation, we can easily fetch the daily reports from the system as per the client's requirement and track the status of every job which is running, aborted, or canceled."
"Error handling and the recovery feature ensure that my job processes are not stopped if any error occurs."
"It has advanced features like dashboards where users can see all statistics."
"With automation in place, employees can focus on more strategic tasks that require human expertise, increasing overall productivity."
 

Cons

"Better documentation, in particular with respect to the initial setup, would be helpful."
"The platform's data integration tools need improvement on the processing side."
"Mule Anypoint Platform could improve by having more up-to-date adapters to do work in a digital space."
"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."
"There is not much information on the internet...The transforming message is an area in the solution that needs to be improved."
"Information on monitoring could be improved."
"It doesn't work well when you try using it for the processing layer."
"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."
"Due to the abundance of competing automation technologies available on the market, connectivity with any cloud platform can be improved."
"The product could be better in terms of its monitoring and alert service."
"We need the ability to pull data into an Excel format."
"The job log has a size limit."
"The price wise, it is not affordable. When we compare with other industry leading softwares and even the same scale, there are certain softwares that can compete with Redwood, but Redwood is very highly paced.So it is more SAP friendly, I would say, at this point. Since it was owned by SAP for very long time, they have made it SAP friendly. But if you look at the tool as a enterprise tool. Like, in general, it is not really that great as a tool. So you can you have better options when you couple it with SAP. But if you would like to control your enterprise level applications, anything after that, like, Azure AWS and things like that Oracle."
"The addition of machine learning capabilities could help Redwood Workload Automation Software better predict job and workflow performance, detect anomalies, and optimize operations based on historical data."
"Customer support should be enhanced so that we can automatically raise tickets and incidents in customer service."
"It would be nice if Redwood RunMyJobs could work on different systems."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing is core-based. My customers tell me that it's very expensive compared to the cost of other integration suites."
"The solution is the priciest in the market which is an issue for some clients."
"Price-wise, it is a good product since it is reasonably priced."
"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."
"Mule Anypoint Platform pricing is slightly higher compared to Dell Boomi."
"Mule is not the cheapest integration platform out there, but it deserves the price we are paying."
"The product is still very expensive."
"Regarding pricing, I believe there could be room for improvement to align with user expectations."
"It initially surprised me because we went from an application that was priced by connection to agents/the number of agents to an application that was priced based on the number of job executions. At that time, many of the products we looked at were also priced on job execution. That seems to be more common in the business or in the vendors that provide solutions out there, but that was probably our biggest difference."
