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.

Quick to set up, flexible, and stable

The scheduling part I don't like due to the fact that it allows you to schedule as a parent and child and other things, however, the error trackability has to be a little more user-friendly. It's also not user-friendly in the sense that it loads all the jobs and there are not enough filters so that it doesn't need to load everything. If the job fails, you don't get any type of alert or email. It would be ideal if there was some sort of automated alert message. Technical support isn't the best. It would be ideal if we understood how to do it in a card exception regarding exclusion, where the card is captured separately rather than filling the whole process on the data inbound side. Certain workloads like this are organized in such a way where you seem to be doubling the work as opposed to streamlining the process.

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 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."

"The tool is very capable and offers a high performance. The tool supports batch processing and ETL processing."

"The API toolkit is the solution's most valuable aspect at this time, for our organization."

"Initially, we faced challenges managing numerous scheduled jobs and duplicate entries in our SAP system. To address this, we developed a reusable component in Mule that all applications could use to interact with SAP."

"It's easy to use and comes as a bundle package with the Anypoint Platform, removing the need for any complex setup."

"The integration potential is excellent."

"Mule Anypoint Platform's valuable features are its flexibility in terms of deployment and its SaaS capabilities."

More MuleSoft Anypoint Platform pros

"The most valuable feature is the metadata generated code."

"RED has provided us the ability to integrate, stage, and transform data from diverse sources into an enterprise-grade data warehouse which meets the needs of my organization, but it also enables us to easily and quickly make ETL or DW changes."

"I found the initial setup very easy."

"This is a fantastically robust DW tool that will make you at least 10 times faster in producing a DW."

"WhereScape RED has improved our business's ability to generate needed reporting without requiring a large team of developers to manually code all of the necessary plumbing."

"WhereScape is really helpful in terms of architecture data. Everything is one of automation. Two people can do thousands of tables in one day or two. It saves a lot of time."

"RED generates comprehensive documentation and regenerates it as quickly as things changes, but it also provides impact documentation."

"WhereScape's deployment package is a fantastic feature. The application allows for selecting specific objects that you would like to deploy from one environment to another rather than deploying the entire database."

More WhereScape RED pros

Cons

"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."

"We would like an entire DevOps in place in this particular solution."

"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."

"It doesn't work well when you try using it for the processing layer."

"The solution is very expensive. They need to work on the pricing."

"This becomes an expensive solution over time."

"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 cost of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required, especially when compared to other tools, like Dell Boomi or Oracle."

More MuleSoft Anypoint Platform cons

"It could use a tool to diagnose what is missing from the environment for WhereScape to install successfully."

"Improve the object renaming ability (it works, but it could be more automated)."

"They need a more robust support center. It has been a bit difficult to find solutions to problems that are out-of-the-box."

"Jobs cannot be deleted via the deployment package. When deploying from dev to QA or production, a job has to be retired. The job has to be manually removed from the target environment."

"Customization could be better."

"The scheduled jobs which are run by the WhereScape scheduler seem to be a strangely separate animal. Unlike all other WhereScape objects, jobs cannot be added to WhereScape projects. Also, unlike all other objects, jobs also cannot be deleted using a WhereScape deployment application."

"The solution can be a little more user-friendly on enterprise-level where people use it."

"No support for change data capture or delta detection - that must be custom coded ."

More WhereScape RED cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product's price seems to be competent in comparison to other products in the market."

"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."

"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"

"The product comes complete at one set price including support."

"The solution's pricing, as per the old approach, is expensive."

"Mule Anypoint Platform is an expensive solution."

"The solution is the priciest in the market which is an issue for some clients."

"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."

More MuleSoft Anypoint Platform pricing and cost advice

"Factor in the price of specialized consulting who know this product. They're hard to find and expensive."

"Our company purchased a corporate unlimited license."

"Speed to market of a warehouse solution at a relatively inexpensive price point."

"ROI is at least 10 times."
