This ensures that much is done in less time. Another thing is the flexibility and support for python, JS, Scala, etc. Lastly, their support is very helpful whenever called upon. Cons Anypoint Platform is not cheap at all. It's far more expensive than competing solutions. Secondly, it requires a learning curve to master. Review Source AS Alejandra S.

Pros The best thing I liked about the software is its ease of use with version 3. Able to develop API solutions very quickly with a RAML file and the cloud hub deployments. Cons Documentation was missing few details for connectors. Also the limitations with community version was challenging to develop solutions which require transformations. Review Source AB Amit B. Associate Software Capital Markets Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Excellent Product " March 16, 2017 4.0 Mule is one of the tool and platform for java people to upgrade into technical skill.

Mule allow user to connect more service in minimum time. We can easy customize any component base on requirement. We can easy used or create SOAP and Rest services. Mule is one platform which support RAML for restful services. Pros easily develop business flow and reuse with many system. it does not force any design constraints on the architect to deliver any message. its work on highly distributed environment. Cons created more thread over the application. As per my experience, the performance of the application is not as much good. Review Source RK Rahul K. Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "The best Platform for API management" August 27, 2016 4.0 Anypoint Platform has a Wide range of enterprise connectors are key to its integration success. Having a rookie on the job for integrating an application? Well it does not matter. It is a very easy tool to get started with and with wide range of documentations and example it is very easy for someone to start integrating applications in no time. Are you from Java background or Dot Net? It does not matter. You can easily learn and integrate applications using Anypoint Plateform. One tool for complete integration solutions having GUI based interface and focusing on configuration over coding making developers life easy and delightful. Pros Anypoint Platform has a Wide range of enterprise connectors are key to its integration success. Cons Frequent upgrades and releases though I think it's required to make the product more powerful but sometimes its difficult for customers to plan upgrades. Review Source Sandeep N.

Technology Lead Banking Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Anypoint platform is centralized manager for everything. I loved the way it simply organized all." August 8, 2017 4.0 I was able to create RESTful services easily/fast-paced. Able to convert existing xml/json formatted data to desired formats quickly without any issues. Fast, proactive, easy interface. But lacks in scalability. Could not implement robust service. Process archestration is difficult when requirement becomes difficult. Pros Simple, centralized, end to end web platform. Runtime manager, insights, logs, alerts, policies at single place. Only Flow designer is missing. Although it is included in latest version 4.0, should have come before. Cons Anypoint designer had some issues with IE, Mozilla. Runtime manager hangs. Reporting of flow analytics should be more in depth. API designer doesn't provide all the features of comparitive tools like swagger. Public portal design should have been more options oriented.

Senior Consultant Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "It is a very good tool to build, test and deploy flows to cloud hub" May 31, 2017 5.0 Pros Drag and drop feature makes it very easy to build flows. very short learning curve for anyone with java background. Open source technology makes it easier to customize something which is not provided out of the box. Cons Adding additional cloud connectors, which are not shipped with along with it are very difficult to install. The documentation provided for any of the component and or connector is not updated. Review Source Max R. Customer Account Manager Internet Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Best platform for integration" August 24, 2019 5.0 Pros One single platform to handle apis and integrations Cons It can be quite expensive initially. RAML and studio have to be learned. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Desarrollador Java Junior Information Technology and Services Used the software for: I used a free trial ### " It's extraordinary" August 24, 2018 5.0 Pros The user interface is very friendly, very complete this integration tool with all the options for setting up the raml, creation, exhibition  and configuration of the API in addition to the part of statistics analysis incredibly useful for making business decisions. Cons Not all options are intuitive and it is a little uncomfortable to expose the API on the one hand and configure it on the other, it would be better if everything were available in a single section. Review Source LCV Lakshmana Chari V. Integration Architect Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Glass of ice water in hell" November 5, 2016 4.0 Server startup is really quicker than all other integration tools i have experienced. VM queue is awesome feature enabling messaging without a server in between. Object store and Cache is also an excellent concept. I would like to avoid cluttering the code with all the logs we had to add in the code in order to trace a message flow. 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 RC Ramanjaneyulu C. Technical Architect Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "AnypointStudio is good for quick development of integrating other systems and RESTful services." June 7, 2017 3.0 Quick integration of enterprise systems, legacy applications and thick client applications. Easy maintenance of APIs. Pros Quick development APIs using the API Manager and Anypoint studio, also quick configuration tools are provided by Mulesoft. Cons API Manager should be able to provide automatic customization of alerts. Undeployment of APIs and Mule ESB services are taking more time in MMC. Review Source HS Harsh S. Software Developer Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Anypoint Platform Review!" December 10, 2017 4.0 Pros The freedom and options to connect any system / component using the Anypoint Platform. Can connect flat files and expose them as a Web Service! The system doing a "GET" using web service will never know what kind of language / platform they're dealing with. It's a consistent look and feel of REST and SOAP. Cons Design tools are in Eclipse and require a slight learning curve if you are new to the environment. Because portions of the product are open sourced, updates require careful regression testing. Review Source KG Kirti G. Software Developer Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "its good to work with this software " August 20, 2017 4.0 ease of of use ,anyone can use it, even u dont have much technical knowledge Pros easy to use ,easily i can deploy my application ,can check logs ,easily can change the worker size as per application requirement , good customer support for any issue Cons logs are rolled off after some limit ,observed worker crashed issue many times with many of my applications Review Source NK Naveen K.

Anypoint Studio is fabulous, it has so many connectors that helps your requirements to complete in time and with ease. you have variety of components for each use case and also u get a great support from the developer forums and mulesoft dedicated support. Mulesoft site has so much documentation about the feature and components available, they give you a clear idea of how to use effectively. I recommend this as your one stop solution for all your integration needs, it also has various other features like EDI. Pros So many Connectors available already in the tool and also there is a scope for new connectors as it is a open source. This gives freedom to the developer to use them conveniently.

It is an easy to develop tool. It offers a wide range of connectors which makes our job of connecting to external applications easier.It supports coding in Java which is a pro for many developers.I have integrated with different applications in different formats and deploying the application is also easier. Review Source iS imran S. Sr. Consultant Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great platform." May 25, 2017 4.0 This is great upgrade to SOA approach, implemented as it is envisioned i.e. API led conectivity is the wave of future. Pros Paradigm shift. API led connectivity vs. monolithic solution. Network of APIs is the way to go, and with right design approach you can have APIs which you never have to change. Cons documentation some time is harder to find, compare to MicroSoft technologies where there are tons of examples and sample code, it is sometime hard to get your specific question answered. 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 sV srikanth V. consultant Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "very nice experience" June 29, 2017 5.0 Getting more easy for playing good role on Integration platform end Pros 1\. Application Program Interface concept. 2. Playing as very good role in Integration platform compare to other Integration tools like TIBCO ,Web methods and Oracle Fusion ... etc Cons 1\. customer support 2. product patch versions 3. Need to introduce some of connectors or adapters for establishing connection between mule to destination applications or systems like SAP......etc 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. Review Source kK kalaiselvan K. Integration Engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "MuleSoft Review" June 9, 2019 4.0 Overall, I am happy with Mule ESB which does the job of required integration either in SOAP or REST Pros DataWeave component makes complex transformation into simpler which reduces lot of effots on comples business logic and business orchestration. RAML provides good contract definition which can be used for developing the REST web services . It is very light weight compare to other leading ESB provider(Oracle ESB,Talend ESB..) It gives lot of adapter/Connector which we can make use for integration (Eg, Salesforce) We can also use Java expression which is known to many developers for few things. Cons We have to use explicit audit/logging, unlike oracle SOA which gives out of box auditing. Most of the cloud adapters/Connectors are licensed.
