Provides application integration and reduces time and effort during upgrades
One of the most valuable aspects was its impact on reducing time and effort during upgrades. Previously, SAP upgrades required significant coordination with multiple teams. Now, thanks to our streamlined integration approach, the SAP team interacts primarily with the integration team. When changes are needed, we simply create a new version. This allows application teams to migrate gradually from the old version to the new one, without extensive involvement from the SAP team. Moreover, our approach has improved reliability by eliminating duplicated efforts. Previously, different teams would often duplicate data sets due to inefficiencies in data naming conventions. We centralized data integration, ensuring that all applications use the same data set.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"The most valuable feature is the variety of characters Anypoint Platform has. It is very scalable and customizable."
"Customers can make use of Runtime Fabric, an RTF environment."
"Overall, it is a pretty good product. It is also very scalable."
"The use of ACK is valuable."
"The exchange and API management features are the best in the market."
"The most valuable feature of Mule Anypoint Platform is rapid development."
"The tool’s API management capabilities are excellent."
"The stability is excellent."
"The connectors have been the most impactful features for handling integrations. I can use these connectors when I need specific connectivity with a third party, like a core banking system in BFSI. I don't need to do all the development. I take the specific connector, put in the IP address and password, and it takes care of everything."
"The customer service executives are very responsive."
"In my opinion, the most valuable aspect of this solution is its extensive range of adaptors and connectors. This feature holds significant importance and provides great value to users."
"The solution's customer service is good."
"The drag-and-drop features for connectors are very valuable."
"The productivity is the most valuable feature. It is very easy to write remediations."
"The learning curve for this solution is very good."
 

Cons

"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."
"The inclusion of GenAI in the tool can be good since it is an area that is currently unavailable in the solution."
"Mule Anypoint Platform is complex for beginners. Users without programming skills will find it complex. It should also improve its pricing."
"The pricing can be a little bit less."
"The solution's licensing model is expensive and could be improved."
"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."
"Its documentation needed a little bit of work to make it more usable. It is a platform that is used mainly by developers and other people for connecting systems. Its documentation was confusing in some areas and was not very helpful in other areas. I had to go to a consultant to get some work done, which ideally shouldn't be required."
"The product is expensive."
"The micro integrator should be improved. There is room for enhancement considering alternative integration components."
"If I have to buy software, then it becomes expensive for me."
"They should release upgrades more frequently."
"You cannot include the validation of XPath."
"There are a lot of security settings that when you apply you have to re-apply again every time you modify a setting. It is something that really needs to be enhanced."
"I would like to see them bring back a feature, from earlier versions, that was very useful in debugging and finding issues."
"The setup can be difficult for those not familiar with the solution."
"WSO2 libraries are not mature enough. For example, if you want to integrate with Kafka using its Kafka library, it often has many bugs."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool's pricing is cheaper than other RPAs' since it is execution-based. Other RPAs charge based on subscriptions."
"The solution is the priciest in the market which is an issue for some clients."
"Making changes in Anypoint MQ is expensive."
"Regarding pricing, I believe there could be room for improvement to align with user expectations."
"I rate the product price a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"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."
"Mule Anypoint Platform pricing is slightly higher compared to Dell Boomi."
"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 cost is better than IBM Cloud Pak."
"I rate the product price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."
"The pricing of WSO2 Enterprise Integrator for enterprise subscriptions can be considered expensive, especially from the perspective of someone who prefers open-source software."
"The open-source, unsupported version is available free of charge."
"It is a low-cost solution."
"The solution costs about 20,000 or 30,000 euros per year, per instance."
