Cons

"Migrating any existing middleware platform to Mulesoft is difficult because of the transformation, conversion and integration involved. Better tools are needed to achieve quicker time to market."
"I think that they can bring some transparency in reference to the terms of the microservices architecture."
"Their analytics needs a lot of improvement. It's really lacking right now."
"Rather than focusing on numbers, they should focus more on the customer support service."
"I'd like to see improvements in API Exchange. Currently, we can only expose APIs publicly. I want to categorize some APIs and expose them just to internal stakeholders. It would be great if they could log in to a developer portal, see our current APIs, view Swagger or RAML docs, and try request-response payloads."
"When compared to other integration technologies, it is slightly higher."
"I'd like more monitoring and analyzing features included in the future."
"The solution could be improved in educational and onboarding areas."
"The instances are costly."
"The product's UI could be faster."
"The setup process for the SAP integration Suite is not straightforward. It involves some technical aspects and can be complex."
"I believe there are areas where SAP Integration Suite could be improved, such as enhancing message transformation capabilities and simplifying conditional routing features compared to the on-premise tool SAP PO (Process Orchestration)."
"They could provide graphical data for over-viewing metrics such as payments, receipts, creditors, and refunds."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is extremely high, and I would rate it one out of ten."
"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."
"MuleSoft Anypoint API Manager is an expensive solution."
"I'm unsure about licensing costs because I'm not the person who handles this. But, ballpark, it's probably somewhere around $300,000-$400,000 or something like that."
"Anypoint is the most expensive solution on the market, as far as I know, though it's also the most capable."
"The solution looks more expensive on the surface because it builds all the functions into one core component or into an integrated suite of components."
"The product's main drawback is its cost. It's expensive for our company, and their recent change in pricing strategy last year complicated things further. That's the only thing we're not happy with."
"The product is expensive."
"I rate its pricing a five out of ten."
"I'm not well-versed in the details of pricing and standard licensing for SAP Integration Suite as I primarily focus on technical aspects. As far as I know, clients can choose between different levels of offerings based on their messaging frequency and business requirements, with premium levels offering more features and customization options."
"It is inexpensive for smaller businesses and expensive for larger businesses."
