IT Analyst Information Technology and Services Used the software for: ### "I would like to give my review on Anypoint Platform. " September 1, 2017 5.0 There are various of benefits of Anypoint Platform to use in Integrataion project. 1. Integration Platform: Anypoint Platform is a hybrid integration platform provided by MuleSoft which is used to build application network very easily, structurally and smartly with proper and neat documentation. 2. API-Led Connectivity: Anypoint Platform implements API-Led Connectivity approach to make application network Reusable, Loosely Coupled and more Govern. 3. Layered Architecture: Anypoint Platform follows Layered architecture style in the integration based project in which for each external system we create an API on top of it to expose their data. This API is called as System API and this API is not used normally by any user directly. Then if required, to merge the two or more than two external system together, we again need to create an API on top of them to expose their data together. This API is called as Process API which is more process oriented. And then finally we come up with Experienced API on top of Process API to expose process oriented data so that the end user could get the data from different external systems. So you can see how Anypoint Platform smartly uses Layered architecture style to build out network applications easily. 4. CloudHub: This is perhaps the most relevant benefits of Anypoint Platform according to me. Anypoint Platform provides various ways to deploy your integration applications and APIs both on Cloud computing environment and On-prem. 5. Open Source: It is an open source integration platform which means to use this technology to integrate or connect any applications we do not need to use any license software. We can download it from the internet all free of cost. It is Awesome! Pros There are many things to like about Anypoint Platform. Few of them I would like to highlight: 1. Integration Platform: Anypoint Platform is a hybrid integration platform provided by MuleSoft which is used to build application network very easily, structurally and smartly with proper documentation. 2. API-Led Connectivity: Anypoint Platform implements API-Led Connectivity approach to make application network Reusable, Loosely Coupled and more Govern. 3.

Como ya estabamos acostumbrados a trabajar con Java no nos ha sido muy complicado utilizar este software, ademas el poder utilizar la base de datos de Oracle, que para nosotros es una de las mas potentes, nos ha facilitado el trabajo. Pros Lo que mas me ha gustado del software es que el desarrollo de aplicaciones en esta plataforma no nos ha resultado muy complicado de utilizar. Hemos utilizado JAVA y ORACLE como motor de base de datos para el desarrollo de nuestra aplicacion y asi de una manera rapida y sencilla, hemos podido crear una pequeña aplicacion. Cons Su curva de aprendizaje puede ser un poco lenta si no has trabajado con ECLIPSE, y la atencion al cliente puede ser mejorable. Review Source NA NOOR A. Senior Application System Analyst Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Anypoint Platform is very good platform which i come across , it is ease to use and user friendly ." September 8, 2017 4.0 Few Advantages that Mule has over other products are :- Mule has a large collection of different connectors to connect and integrate diverse systems. It is said like it can almost connect anything. Mule is very lightweight and easy to use compared to other esb. Since it is mostly Java based, so, it becomes very easy to use and build custom components. Most important is that, Mule is a pure esb, where other products comes with other functionality and platforms and esb is one of the part of the product. (eg WSO2) Mule is graphically based unlike most of other esb, where the flows are mostly configured in XML (Apache Camel or Spring integration) Mule is less expensive compared to most of other products. Even community versions are available, which will not cost you anything. Mule earlier had a problem of its small size of its community. But nowadays, Mule community is expanding like others. Mule, as I mentioned is easy to use. for example, if you want to expose a web service and need to do various transformations with payload, you just need to concentrate on your java implementation classes or you Mule flow. Mule will take care of exposing the service to an endpoint and you don't need to write any code for that. It also has wide range of transformer that will take care of transformation of your payload and also other functionality like orchestration, routing etc and will be easy for you to implement There are more or less other advantages, you can explore more to get it . More or less choosing an esb depends on your requirement and budget. Pros Data Mapping is the feature i like most in this software, there are many feature which are as follow are the best for my project. Debugging suppor,APIkit RAML Support Cons RAML Support, we can import RAML files for your APIs that are managed in the Anypoint Platform by the API Manager and keep them in sync with the platform.While working with a RAML file, you can also view an embedded interactive API Console that's automatically built from the resources and methods described in your RAML.Handle complex data mappings and transformations through the Transform Message component, that leverages the powerful DataWeave language. This component allows you to create your transformations both through a simple drag and drop visual interface or by coding in DataWeave to unleash all of the language's potential.

DBA & SysAdmin Insurance Used the software for: 2+ years ### "AnyPoint Platform" June 7, 2023 4.0 Nel complesso AnyPoint Platform semplifica lo sviluppo, gestione e monitoraggio di tutto il ciclo produttivo di API aziendali. Pros AnyPoint Platform permette di gestire in un unico posto le API e le applicazioni di tutta l'azienda, divise per ambiente.Dalla piattaforma è possibile inoltre monitorare il traffico e svolgere le azioni più importanti. Cons L'interfaccia utente, seppur in continua evoluzione, è piuttosto scomoda e talvolta di difficile uso (impossibile fare export, copia/incolla, filtrare, ecc.).

Team Lead Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Anypoint Platform from Mulesoft is a complete API management tool." May 19, 2018 4.0 ease of use cloud support Java based re-usability good customer support Scalability Pros API Manager - Helps in managing the APIs right from applying in-built policies to creating custom policies. Create proxy on top of your applications seamlessly. In-built load balancer as well as customization option. VPC- Able to create a private network of your applications and allows limited access to some of the applications Runtime Manager - Deploy your applications either on-premise or on cloud. You have option to choose your own environment. Anypoint MQ- Enterprise feature messaging system. Anypoint Studio - Eclipse based IDE where you can design the flows, debug, run them, create unit test cases and also use mocking feature. Anypoint Exchange - It helps sharing your API contracts ( WSDLs, RAML ), APIs, etc easier. Anypoint Connectors - Many in built connectors which help connecting to many systems like SAP, Salesforce, Workday, Twitter, AWS, Mainframe, etc. There is a provision to create custom connector too. It is Java based so we can leverage all the reusable libraries Java has to offer. Cons Pricing is not very good. Need more features in API manager like payload limiting, debugging is weak, etc. Review Source hM hymad M. software engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "it is great , with the help of anypoint platform we can do restful services and more." October 9, 2017 3.0 we can create rest services . we can host the services on premises and cloud. these micro service will help the application to run fast . Pros Anypoint Exchange consists of a MuleSoft provided public list of APIs, examples, connectors, and templates that you can use to create applications. API Manager is a component of Anypoint Platform for managing and publishing APIs. If you set up your own account on the internet, you are assigned the Organization Administrators role. If your organization uses Anypoint Platform on a private cloud, obtain permissions and roles from the Anypoint Platform administrator for your organization. In the Organization Administrator role, you see and can open API Manager when you log into Anypoint Platform. As Organization Administrator, you can see and manage client applications registered to access your API. Alternatively, you can use the Anypoint Platform command line interface (CLI) to interact with API Manager. Cons API Manager,Anypoint Exchange You can deploy an API implementation to a Mule Runtime that runs on a server, such as CloudHub in the public cloud. You can also deploy to a private cloud or hybrid. A hybrid deployment is an API deployed on a private server but having metadata processed in the public cloud. Regardless of the server location, each server belongs to an environment, such as Design, Test, or Production. Servers are defined in business groups and each business group can have multiple environments.

Easy to use and manageability of application is easy. Pros Easy to connect to various external systems such as database, File Systems etc.. We can use existing connectors to connect to various external systems instead of writing the code. Amount of time take to develop a application is relevantly less. Cons Support from the mule soft is not sufficient so far. we need to raise a case if we face a issue and average respond time from mulesoft folks is not fast as would expect. we have faced this problem couple of times in my office.

Mulesoft can be used to provide an integration platform to a large number of systems like Salesforce, ODBC, JDBC, SAP, Mongo DB, etc. 2. A large number of out of box connectors are available in the market place to be used. 3. Ability to write custom connectors to meet the integration needs of the client. 4. Excellent option to develop microservices and real-time integrations Cons Not as robust in handling large data volumes, Informatica is better in that respect.

Mulesoft Developer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Possibly the best middleware platform currently" November 8, 2023 5.0 Pros I like how Anypoint platform introduces new features as it evolves to meet growing client needs. Anypoint Exchange makes it easy to discover APIs. API manager is efficient in applying custom policies and managing APIs deployed even outside the platform. Cons Anypoint Studio needs to be optimized, as debugging applications is slow and clunky. Deployment to Cloudhub 2.0 could also be improved. Review Source MS Mirza S. Software QA Engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Mulesoft's Anypoint Platform makes API development very fast and easy" August 13, 2021 5.0 I've used it for a bit less than a year now and I'm pretty satisfied, I've been mostly reading the docs and creating new API documentation and used their IDE a few times, then drag and drop creation of APIs makes the creation of a memorable MVP for your product blazing fast. Pros It's an integrated solution, everything is in one place, I use the documentation on APIs the most and it's very well done. Their templating RAML language, for creating docs, is very intuitive with its syntax and easy to use. The Anypoint Studio IDE is also really good and stable. Cons The "con" of products such as this one is the lack of control compared to fully custom-coded solutions.

This product succeeded, and the client is quite pleased. Pros The ability to load and install for free with some support. The advanced integration and API approach for combining services and other products makes the product extremely useful and quick to test and implement without any financial commitment. Cons LIke any other free open-software package, when it works, it's fantastic. When it doesn't, or when you are trying to do something that doesn't seem like a common usage, it can seem like you're on your own. It can take a while, solutions can be found, but it can take some time. Reason for choosing MuleSoft Anypoint Platform The client already had some MuleSoft products in-house. It was logical to use this product as the client was happy with the vendor and the product was able to fulfill his requirements.

Pros It's a fantastic tool to create APIs or microservices really quickly if you have the rest of your services in the cloud. For example, you have the possibility to create some microservices to connect your Salesforce platform with your Office platform or your ERP. It implements a fantastic and simple user interface to help you in the process. His knowledge base and his blog with the examples that you can find in these are really fantastic.

Pros The ESB is the centerpiece of our learning ecosystem. While not having a front end interface and requiring programming (API work), it's been a tremendous efficiency tool for us. If only we used it better!
