MuleSoft Anypoint Platform Reviews

We use the solution for migration and integration.

There are issues with dead-letter queues.

I have been using Anypoint MQ for one year.

The product is stable so far.

The customer service is not good enough in Hong Kong.

We chose Anypoint MQ because it is a top-rated product in the market.

For the basic setup, we use some local message queues and integrate them with the message queue. It took one year to complete the setup.

We used another tool because it was complicated, and we had to hire a third party to build the architecture. The setup is quite complicated.

Anypoint MQ has stability issues. I have experienced data loss and inconsistent behaviour. The data isn't always pushed to the SQL database. When I put a message in the SQL queue, the data should be static, but it's not. Additionally, clicking a message in Anypoint MQ can sometimes trigger database loss. This instability becomes particularly noticeable when starting or restarting the server.

Overall, I rate the solution a four out of ten.

We use Mule Anypoint Platform in our company for API integration, API orchestration, and other related things.

Mule Anypoint Platform's valuable features are its flexibility in terms of deployment and its SaaS capabilities. One of the solution's features is its connectors, which allow for any specific integrations within any other package software. Mule provides a lot of connectors for integration purposes.

I think Mule Anypoint Platform is one of the market leaders, so our customers prefer it, which is why I also use it.

The solution's user interface has shortcomings and can be made much better. Mule Anypoint Platform can be made more user-friendly so that people with lesser technical knowledge can understand the product. Mule Anypoint Platform can get too complex for non-technical people.

I have been working as a system integrator using Mule Anypoint Platform for two to three years.

It is a scalable solution.

My company caters to the needs of medium-sized businesses.

Mule's technical support is good. I rate the technical support between eight and nine out of ten.

Positive

Regarding Mule Anypoint Platform's installation, I can say that since we use the SaaS platform, we didn't face any issues with the installation of SaaS modules.

Mule Anypoint Platform is a SaaS system. The platform is available, so you just configure it and don't need to deploy anything. You just have to configure whether you want high availability, DR, or anything else. Otherwise, there is nothing much to deploy since it all falls on the SaaS capabilities.

We have only three engineers required for the configuration and adaptation of the product.

Price-wise, it is a good product since it is reasonably priced.

The product's maintenance part is easy and requires only one person.

Overall, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.

I think the solution is used to build APIs

The transforming message is an area in the solution that needs to be improved. There is not much information on the internet, and since MuleSoft is new, there is nothing to research or find in Stack Overflow.

They are probably trying to test two layers at once. I don't know how that would be possible. I've been trying to work between something another company left recently. So while testing it, it's been hard because there are a lot of layers, and some of them are not okay. If I could test two locally, that would be great.

I have been using it for a couple of months. So, it has only been two or three months.

It is a stable product.

Previously, we used Cisco in our company.

The initial setup was simple.

I would recommend others to use it because it's very easy to start. Overall, I rate it an eight and a half to nine out of ten.

Primarily, we use Mule Anypoint Platform for orchestration and workflows.  We also use it when more than two applications have to talk to each other or real-time transactions are required. Another use case is for a triggering mechanism that also requires data transformations.

We like it because of its ease of usability. It is a very user-friendly and developer-friendly tool. The maintenance cost is low, and the overall required team size is also optimized.

The compatibility with vendors can be improved. Microsoft Azure heavily uses single software.

Compatibility with other services or cloud providers like AWS or GCP is not very well defined. This is an area they need to be a little more cautious about.

Nowadays, everyone is talking about Generative AI, how intelligence can be brought into different systems that are ready. If we talk about Mule Anypoint Platform, the system and data are there, but the integration layers are not very advanced. They should bring in Generative AI and other AI platforms because even it will need a lot of self-building intelligence and decision-making.

They have good competition from cloud providers nowadays. There is a lot of scope and innovation competing in that area. 

I have been using it for three years now.

Mule Anypoint Platform is quite stable. It is used across many large organizations, and we have not seen many issues with it. I would rate the stability eight out of ten.

I would rate the scalability an eight out of ten. Mule Anypoint Platform has great capability around different products, including products within the platform. It is a very decentralized kind of solution that can be scaled to very high levels.

We do connect with support from time to time if there are issues. The technical support is good. They do reply on time and take responsibility.

The initial setup is simple enough. 

The product is very expensive. I would rate the pricing six out of ten.

Mule Anypoint Platform can be considered the leader in the market. After being bought over by Salesforce, it now has some added advantages. For any large or mid-level company that is going for multiple applications like SaaS-based applications, ServiceNow and Salesforce, the Mule Anypoint Platform is very useful. Small-scale companies choose other open-source and cloud-native solutions which are much cheaper in cost. 

There are other leaders like Dell Boomi and open-source Kafka, but the best part about MuleSoft is the foundation architecture they use which is highly scalable and reliable. The compatibility for the Mule Anypoint Platform is greater than other competitors. I would rate the product seven out of ten. 

The tool's use cases are mainly for enterprise-level integrations that require transformations and major publish-subscribe scenarios in which data needs to be published to multiple systems in different formats.

I rate the solution's ease of learning a nine out of ten. It has good documentation and self-learning videos. It promotes usability and provides an end-to-end integration solution with the Salesforce ecosystem

The tool helps with order management and automates the enterprise's orchestration, invoice creation, product maintenance, and product life cycle. The API manager feature helps us configure, secure, and call APIs. 

The tool requires programming language. 

I rate Mule Anypoint Platform's stability as nine out of ten.

I rate Mule Anypoint Platform's scalability as nine out of ten. 

The solution's deployment is 10-20 percent longer.

We have a team to deploy the tool. 

The tool's pricing is cheaper than other RPAs' since it is execution-based. Other RPAs charge based on subscriptions.

I rate the overall solution an eight out of ten. 

The solution is used as a middle environment as we have our own database settings and PostgreSQL database. If an API requires some information then they need to go through Mule Anypoint. We are also trying to implement our own DataGraph. 

In our company, we have some other ETL tools but comparatively, MuleSoft is much more compatible in many other ways for data transformation. MuleSoft can handle a lot of different types of data. So even if something is not available, there are some workarounds, and this is professionally advantageous. 

I have a lot of resources as a developer and I don't want to always ask Mule for help. There are a lot of online resources which can be referred to easily even as a beginner, which is a positive.

Most of the people who work here are long-term employees who are much more versatile in German, than English, and MuleSoft supports the local languages. That was one of the positives and was why Mulesoft was considered beyond its scalability and other functions. Whenever we need some support in our local language, we get it easily. They also have an office in Germany and if a person is unable to contact them by phone, they can go to the office in person.

The initial setup should be made easy and the documentation should have some guidance. 

I have been using Mule Anypoint Platform for two years. 

The solution's stability has increased over time. 

It is a scalable solution. Presently, five to ten people use the solution. 

The technical support team is quick with their responses and are prompt in providing a solution. 

The initial setup is complex as there is no documentation that can guide you. There are professionals to help but they charge a lot.

I would recommend others to use the solution because it is easy to use. If they want to learn, there is a free course available on the website for developers. At the same time, even if you are not able to get some information readily available, there are a lot of other resources that are available online. 

I rate the overall solution an eight out of ten as they are still improving. 

We use the Mule Anypoint Platform for API management and integration.

I am not an end-user of the platform because I'm an architect, and we simply evaluated and deployed it for the business to use. I am not able to provide platform usage analytics.

The ability to define multi-tiered APIs and reuse them is a fantastic platform feature.

Code quality, Code Security, SaaS, and DaaS security, can all be improved.

We recently onboarded and we went live only in the month of February. We are still new to the platform. 

We have been working with the Mule Anypoint Platform for just three months. 

So far it has been good. We are still evolving for broader usage of the platform.

Mule Anypoint Platform is a stable product.

We haven't gotten to that layer yet, but I believe it is scalable, based on the description that we have.

It's a new platform, a new setup in Azure, and I don't believe that we have yet met the scalability criteria. We are still attempting to consume the platform's threshold, which we have acquired.

Mule Anypoint Platform is not being used by a single department. It is being used by the entire organization.

Technical support is both helpful and supportive.

We used DevOps to deploy. We have set up the pipelines on Azure.

I haven't deployed any directly, but deployments can be done within minutes.

It is easy to set up. We have excellent documentation on the deployment and configuration steps.

I am not aware of the cost. It is completely managed by the vendor management team.

They should be knowledgeable about their industry. They should leverage the platform's use cases and try to deploy it only when it is required.

I am a client of this product.

I would rate Mule Anypoint Platform an eight out of ten.

We use the infrastructure of the Mule Anypoint Platform to host our application and services on Amazon. We are end-users and I'm a technical delivery manager.

The most valuable feature of this solution is the ease of developing APIs. It's very, very easy and very fast. Anypoint offers good performance and security. 

The pricing should be improved, it's an expensive product. 

I've been using this solution for six years. 

The solution is stable. 

The scalability is good but again, you need to be aware that if you want to scale up your APIs, it requires spending more. 

We're not so happy with the technical support, it could definitely be improved. 

Generally, deployment of one API wouldn't take more than 10-15 minutes. We use CICD DevOps for our deployment strategy and it's carried out in-house. We use this product continuously and extensively.

It's important to be aware of the cost implications of using this solution. Unless you know the extent to which you are going to use MuleSoft, you'll begin with a handful of APIs that need to be developed and then you'll start implementing more and more until you realize it's become quite expensive. 

I rate this solution eight out of 10.
