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. Review Source TY Tom Y.

Easily integrates with java in various ways Dataweave support for transformation Easy designing of API with RAML and Swagger Supporting of API gateway,policies, SLA tiers Easy deployment seup in coud and on-premise cons: When some error occurs while developing, logging is not clear for them.Logging needs to be improved Unable to debug Dataweave script Lack of lookup tables support in current Dataweave.

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.

Pros \- Starts up quick. - Vm queue - Eclipse based IDE - Easily extendable - Simplest SDK every seen - Ability to use Hybrid environment Cons \- Minor data mapping change required a development cycle. - Log cluttering - To many release, and non backward compatible changes Review Source KG Kirti G.

Review Source RJG Rai Janos G. Developer Used the software for: ### "Awesomesauce! A platform that really delivers on ease of API management and Flexibility." March 31, 2016 5.0 I have used the Anypoint Platform to create a Multi Protocol Messaging Platform (using SMPP and SMTP). Harnessing the capability to design, run and deploy all in one platform, I have shortened my development timeline (and probably my headache) from an estimated two years to almost 6 months. The pros: \* Flexible - In terms of what solutions you can do, from Automating event-driven services to orchestrating various exposed APIs. \* Well Adapted by the Community - There are lots and lots of tutorials that will let you in on the "How-to's", ranging from videos, blog posts, forums and knowledge sharing sites (im looking at you, stackoverflow) \*Very Powerful - Even using the base building blocks/components of the Anypoint Platform you can certainly do a lot, Simple Automatation, Complex chaining of API calls (and gather them back as one neat result) Capture and Filtering reports, Gather and Analysing data from logs..most especially given the rise of the IoT or Internet of Things. You can even build your own custom components to leverage the capability of the platform. The cons: \* Steep Learning Curve - Coming from a web development background, it has a lot of settings that may or may not break your application. It will take practice before you can successfully say that you have an optimum working application. But this gripe comes from a 7 year PHP based developer with little to none experience in developing applications using Java. :) Review Source DS Desh S. Software architect Used the software for: 2+ years ### "I have been using Mulesoft for last couple of years. It has solved my integration needs." March 13, 2018 4.0 Pros Rich feature set and easy to use. Hybrid deployment model is very attractive feature.Anypoint platform is very powerful tool to manage your APIs. Cons May be they need to improve on little bit on customer support. Any point studio needs some improvement, when designing large flows.
