Perfect customer service, consistent stability, and definite return on investment
The most important thing that I have seen is it has removed the data silos because of the three-tier architecture that Mule Anypoint Platform follows The most valuable feature is their integrations and very good API management. I think in the next release if they could work with the low-code…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is a stable product...The initial setup was simple."
"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’s API management capabilities are excellent."
"Mule works very well with Salesforce and CRMs."
"It's easy to develop APIs."
"The API toolkit is the solution's most valuable aspect at this time, for our organization."
"The solution's market place for different kinds of integration platforms is the most valuable feature."
"Overall, it is a pretty good product. It is also very scalable."
"The two features that I have found most valuable are its ability to customize the dashboards when it comes to the evaluation. The second feature is its ability to handle a large amount of data, which is also something very unique about it."
"It allows users to quickly analyze data from a variety of sources and visualize it with powerful, interactive graphs, and charts."
"We used it pretty heavily in gathering data, which goes to our VPs. They are able to base their next revenue planning based on this metric. So, it has been invaluable."
"R and automation services."
"I appreciate Spotfire's range of visualization options, advanced analytics features, and seamless integration with other TIBCO products."
"We particularly like the data angling feature of this solution. This gives us the ability to work on data transformations, join files, and carry out other data preparation tasks all in a single tool."
"Data discovery is very simple."
"From a scalability standpoint, I would say it's pretty fantastic."
 

Cons

"The high price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"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."
"This becomes an expensive solution over time."
"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."
"There is not much information on the internet...The transforming message is an area in the solution that needs to be improved."
"What I hear from my customers is that it's very expensive compared to the cost of other integration suites. The cost keeps increasing. MuleSoft should come up with customization factors by using a different way of getting the cost-related stuff to attract customers. That is, they should come up with some cost optimizations."
"The customer service is not good enough"
"The inclusion of GenAI in the tool can be good since it is an area that is currently unavailable in the solution."
"We would like to see some development in the visualization aspect of this solution, as they can currently only be configured in the cloud, which limits us to one endpoint. It would be helpful if this could be integrated with other tools."
"I would like to see the visualization library in this solution expanded, so that I can increase what I can offer to our clients."
"The handling and consumption of realtime data could be improved."
"We encountered difficulties connecting the special data sets, as the post data set did not contain any shared columns, making it difficult to establish a connection between the data sets."
"We would like to see some improvement in the default properties of the solution, so that there is less need for us to spend our time coding."
"Compared to competitors, the UI is quite dated."
"Print capability and trigger-based events."
"One aspect where Spotfire could improve is its global recognition, especially in terms of support."
