Integration workflows have become transparent and secure while error tracking is streamlined
The best features in MuleSoft Anypoint Platform for me are transparency between logging in or deploying and using different environments. Managing different environments for the transparency of error logins or how to trace traceability is very important. It's very easy to use and sort, so you can see where everything has gone right and everything has gone wrong. I'm aware of the drag-and-drop interface in MuleSoft Anypoint Platform, and it's very, very quick. It's very time-saving and very efficient. The security features on MuleSoft Anypoint Platform help maintain data integrity in my organization; I would say it's second to none. It's one of the best out there that I have worked with because of the encryption and decryption, and there are a lot of security aspects. I would assess the platform's data mapping and transformation capabilities as amazing. Automation has been straightforward; the transformation and mapping have been easy to use, easy to source, and from the source to the target. I would say it has been very good.

Effective data transformation and integration in complex environments with high functionality
Something that could be improved in WSO2 Enterprise Integrator is that the problem is not a lack of capability or functionalities. The problem is that it is a very complex environment. To put your hand on this environment is a very demanding task. This is the real problem. The problem is not about the product, but about the complexity to manage, to configure, to decide what to do. I have some experience using SAP R/3. It seems to me something similar. When you have to configure a situation with a client, especially for a client not in an industrial sector, but in a service sector, it is quite usual that you are in trouble for some reason. This is always the story that I found in the implementations I have done. Maybe there are only three or four big problems, in some other cases there are more than that, but this is the situation usually. For WSO2 Enterprise Integrator, not the same, but I must say it is quite often there is a need to put together some pieces and make it work in a coordinated way.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Many companies work via an API economy, and by leveraging APIs, and thereby leveraging MuleSoft, the total cost of ownership can be reduced dramatically."
"The use of ACK is valuable."
"The most valuable feature is the messaging system."
"The product’s ability to seamlessly translate protocols is great."
"Mule Anypoint Platform has a good feature for batch processes where the internal tool handles everything."
"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."
"MuleSoft offers with the Anypoint Platform a unified platform for API management and an integration Platform as a Service (iPaaS) as well as an on-premise Enterprise Service Bus pattern."
"Initially, we faced challenges managing numerous scheduled jobs and duplicate entries in our SAP system. To address this, we developed a reusable component in Mule that all applications could use to interact with SAP."
"The productivity is the most valuable feature. It is very easy to write remediations."
"It was mostly easy to set up the product."
"It has improved our time management because development is quicker."
"The stability is excellent."
"WSO2's analytics capability is good, considering the ELC support they provide."
"The drag-and-drop features for connectors are very valuable."
"I like the user-friendly system and development of the service-oriented architecture."
"The solution's technical support is very knowledgeable."
 

Cons

"There is not much information on the internet...The transforming message is an area in the solution that needs to be improved."
"The price could be improved."
"Mule Anypoint Platform should improve its pricing. In my experience, a customer using the sandbox version couldn't upgrade to the final version because it exceeded their budget. Another area for improvement is the login mechanism. We need to integrate with third-party products for strong authentication, but it would be better if MuleSoft had its own robust login mechanism."
"Mule Anypoint Platform could improve by having more up-to-date adapters to do work in a digital space."
"It should give better control over account management."
"The product is expensive."
"One area for improvement is the Community Hub or developer portal, which should be part of the base offering."
"Adding connectors for new upcoming applications would add extra value to this product."
"The administration side is complex and could use significant improvements to enhance the solution's functionality."
"WSO2 libraries are not mature enough. For example, if you want to integrate with Kafka using its Kafka library, it often has many bugs."
"The integration capabilities need to be improved."
"Most of the issues we run into with the WSO2 Enterprise Integrator deal with customizations."
"They should release upgrades more frequently."
"The customization can be a bit difficult."
"For simpler tasks or simpler use cases, we avoid using WSO2 Enterprise Integrator because it is quite complex."
"We had some challenges with the installation of this solution."

"Licensing can be complex as is the case with most iPaaS/cloud offerings."
"Mule Anypoint Platform is affordable."
"The pricing of our solution is highly competitive. While it may not be categorized as exceptionally low, it is certainly more affordable compared to IBM."
"The solution costs about 20,000 or 30,000 euros per year, per instance."
"The cost is better than IBM Cloud Pak."
"The pricing of WSO2 Enterprise Integrator for enterprise subscriptions can be considered expensive, especially from the perspective of someone who prefers open-source software."
