December 17, 2024 5.0 Functionally speaking we did not found another robust platform than Mulesoft, we definitely seek to continue working with it, but the pricing is becoming a real issue. Pros I found Mulesoft Anypoint Platform a very useful tool that has a powerful focus on integrations management. UI is really intuitive. It can be used and understood easily by admins and developers. We really liked the connectors we found there, we used them on some integrations and reduced research time. Cons During the years we realized that the platform is becoming quite expensive, making every renewal difficult to manage with Finance Area. There are other options in the market that are getting in to the game and we are being forced to review them because of this price increase.

Director Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "MuleSoft Mapping with other Middleware Tools" January 26, 2017 4.0 EAIESB is middleware Expertise Company. We have started with SeeBeyond, SRE, ICAN, Java CAPS 5, Oracle Fusion 10G, 11G and 12C, TIBCO 5.X and TIBCO 6.X. We have considered Mulesoft as an open Source tool (after diminishing of OPEN ESB / Glassfish ESB). In 2014 /15 we have chosen Mulesoft as our middleware tool in building Smart Cities project (Integration, IOT & Big Data). Considering the cost and features. We could deliver the POC and could not win the project. Later in 2016, again we started looking into as various customers are looking for migrating existing environment to new product (simple migration (export and import) vs Re-Write) customers started asking for migration path for Mulesoft also. Mulesoft latest features (API, Microservices, IOT) tools supported in building components helped us to add Mulesoft into our portfolio. Having experience in migrating code from various technologies we have built best practices in migrating to Mule. Best benefit we have seen in mule is the ease of building the custom connector for the use cases while migration. When mapping with other technologies, we see more connectors in mule, but connectors have less features, but it does not limit /stopping migration. We are happy to talk to the team and provide specific connectors we have built and use cases which demanded us to build them and contribute to the community.

Systems Analyst Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Feature rich API management and deployment tool" November 21, 2016 4.0 While the Anypoint Platform is a newcomer to API management tools, it still manages to be feature rich and offers a great deal of resources for both API development and deployment needs. As an ESB, it offers a plethora of connectors for making our various enteprise systems work with each other while exerting minimal effort to do so. The interface is extremely user friendly as both a developer, administrator and consumer of APIs. Pros \- Intuitive user interface. It's extremely easy to locate API information and consume analytic information. - Easy to do create new APIs via RAML. - Fast and easy deployments and updates. - Wide range of connectors. Cons \- Customer support can be a bit slow and hard to reach. - Developer Portals for APIs do not allow for much customization. - If you manage a lot of APIs, it is hard to keep track and administer APIs since tables do not let you sort using API request date and other variables.

What more can you wish for! Cons There aren't any, I mean it's a little pricey, but totally worth it. Review Source TM Tim M. Application Systems Archtiect Insurance Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Low Code Hits the ESB" March 7, 2017 4.0 Mule is by far the easiest ESB I have been exposed to. I have reviewed several others and all of them are very code oriented requiring a rather steep learning curve just to deploying your first project. With Mule and the drag-n-drop Anypoint Studio deploying your first project is very simple. Performing transformations also is very simply with the DataWeave component. This component is very flexible. Its use can be as simple as dragging one field from the input to the desired location in the output. Or it can be complex allowing you to develop functions to retrieve other data, manipulate the provided data or create new data. All in all AnyPlatform is a excellent ESB. Pros Easy to learn Highly flexible Focused on not only improving technology but being a disruptor in the technology field Cons Is rather expensive Could use better database integration tools The IDE tends to be sluggish Review Source BC Brad C. Principal Consultant Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Complete integration made simple" July 12, 2016 4.0 I've been leading the uptake and implementation of the Anypoint Platform for a Government department and it has proven time and time again to be the correct technology choice. Integrating existing systems (including GeoSpatial systems, SAP, Microsoft Dynamics CRM and the like), providing new and more efficient methods with which data and users can be introduced through effective API design and providing the capability to expose these systems to the outside world with a hybrid-cloud approach - all with negligible impact on day to day business and without the need for a huge team and the complexities of many other players in this space. Pros Ease of use, easy to learn, quality and range of out of the box connectors, overall completeness of the solution. Cons Sometimes the Anypoint Studio IDE can be frustrating and it does have some bugs - although these are usually very quick to be resolved once reported. Review Source WA Wesley A. Technical Architect Information Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Technical Architect - API Creation" August 11, 2019 5.0 Easy to install and use and work very good with the dot net SOAP based services. Pros It very easy to create new APIs for our existing WCF Services. Cons The help is great; however, you must have a background in services to get the most from the information presented.

I was so impressed by this integration platform that I've been suggesting my clients to switch to MuleSoft. Pros Ease of use, intuitive user interface, no need to install any database to run the software, download the software and you're ready to go, large number of out of box connectors adapters to connect variety of systems, very easy to implement enterprise integration patterns Cons Sometimes error messages are cryptic and need basic knowledge of Java Spring to sort them out.

You define your limits. Pros The flexibility it provides to build things. Cons Sometimes, finding the best approach for a particular issue could be a bit tricky.

IT-MTS Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Anypoint Studio Does the Job" October 5, 2016 4.0 Using Anypoint Studio in my day-to-day work for integrations, I've found that Anypoint studio makes creating simple integrations very easy to do. However, once we get into more complicated integrations, Anypoint starts to get a little less usable with just the out-of-the-box features. At least they make it fairly simple to add custom processes. Pros A lot of out-of-the-box content Cons Support is not that great. Review Source PJ Paul J.
