Scales well, high availability, and convenient to use
The initial setup of the Mule Anypoint Platform is simple. My team was trained in only a few weeks. The process of deployment took a couple of hours. My advice to others is for them to use the catalyst service. They help you get started and gradually let you be on your own. Mule Anypoint Platform is also highly convenient since my team was able to quickly set up the new team for the initial implementation. Within a few weeks, they began developing independently, gradually reducing the need for external support and focusing on efficiently running the system with internal resources. I rate the initial setup of the Mule Anypoint Platform a nine out of ten.

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

"Mule works very well with Salesforce and CRMs."
"The platform's cloud integration capabilities are good."
"The most valuable feature is the variety of characters Anypoint Platform has. It is very scalable and customizable."
"The solution's market place for different kinds of integration platforms is the most valuable feature."
"API management."
"Messaging and queueing solution that has good stability and scalability. It can be used for a variety of messaging types."
"The flexibility has been great overall."
"The monitoring capabilities of this product are very good because of the feedback it supplies in statistics."
"The most valuable feature is the metadata generated code."
"This is a fantastically robust DW tool that will make you at least 10 times faster in producing a DW."
"Their support staff are very knowledgeable, courteous, and professional. I feel their support staff go above and beyond to assure their customers are satisfied."
"I found the initial setup very easy."
"Support is absolutely excellent, efficient, and timely."
"Data transformations and rollups are easy to accomplish."
"I like the data vault implementations."
"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."
 

Cons

"The pricing can be a little bit less."
"The initial setup should be made easy and the documentation should have some guidance."
"The product is expensive."
"The high price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The customer service is not good enough"
"We would like an entire DevOps in place in this particular solution."
"Mule Anypoint Platform should improve its pricing. In my experience, a customer using the sandbox version couldn't upgrade to the final version because it exceeded their budget. Another area for improvement is the login mechanism. We need to integrate with third-party products for strong authentication, but it would be better if MuleSoft had its own robust login mechanism."
"This becomes an expensive solution over time."
"Customization could be better."
"Technical support isn't the best."
"The solution can be a little more user-friendly on enterprise-level where people use it."
"Improve the object renaming ability (it works, but it could be more automated)."
"Project-based searching of data objects in the data warehouse browser needs to be improved."
"They need a more robust support center. It has been a bit difficult to find solutions to problems that are out-of-the-box."
"It could use a tool to diagnose what is missing from the environment for WhereScape to install successfully."
"No support for change data capture or delta detection - that must be custom coded ."
