Anypoint Platform Reviews

Anypoint platform give great way of develop API for your SI, it gives perfect monitoring tools, easy to use integration. the way they propose to have a 3 layer approach is quite nice to organize your API and have a clean architecture

The main issue is to find good developer to use it, it's difficult to make a developer of classical langage to use the platform, and it's a nightmare to find people who already new the platform

Quick development APIs using the API Manager and Anypoint studio, also quick configuration tools are provided by Mulesoft.

API Manager should be able to provide automatic customization of alerts. Undeployment of APIs and Mule ESB services are taking more time in MMC.

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!

It's pretty pricey and the service around it is also costly as that is the main upcharge for businesses who don't have a lot of programmers, etc.

Raml design, exchange to publish the specs, runtime manager to manage deployed API

Design center acts weired sometimes, ask to use newer verify of raml while we self are are editing the the newer version

the possibility to use/search and use connector implements by other

it is quite expensive, for small company is not the right tools

One platform that does it all. What more can you wish for!

There aren't any, I mean it's a little pricey, but totally worth it.

it's easy to use and very simple. Anypoint studio have a very powerful tool for deploy new flow.
The cloud ediction is very powerfull
The support is aways available and very skilled

The licece is quite expencive,
The cloud version lack of third party monitoring tool.
The version of the conector have some problem when you work in different environment

If you don’t have an engineering team, this is the way to go on doing ETL. It’s a little bit of the learning curve in the beginning but I think it’s worthwhile.

It’s so expensive but I guess you’re paying for the ease of use from the product.

Does great job on simplifying integration with lots of software products like Google, Slack etc.

You need some good technical knowledge, and recently is a bit buggy.

USP is Connectors and how rapidly the flows can be built. I am an admirer of Mule Runtime and the time it takes to start, deploy applications and the number of transactions it can handle with minimum hardware configurations.

Anypoint Studio - There are so many bugs when TransformMessage is used with big XMLs and JSON schemas.
Anypoint Runtime Manager: It is very inconsistent in managing the run time without any issues.
RAML Editor: It has to improve while showing errors.
Flow Analyzer: It is needed in ARM which is available in MMC.
Autodiscovering APIs: It is very inconsistent and has to improve

MuleSoft need to support Swagger along with RAML to have more options to the developers.

Well versed and configuration and creating iFlow is easy. Interfaces can be designed easily based on RAML and diagram is simple drag and drop.

Main problem about this software is different connector type is there for different protocol except different SAP connector. There is only one connector called SAP. It will be great if there will have different connector like idoc, RFC, proxy etc.

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.

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.

its graphical UI design which made me love a lot and its options and categorization is very good and the best part of it its free every where available

There is nothing least in it we are expecting some more changes like additional of the maven dependencies being used at best of the times

Rich feature set and easy to use. Hybrid deployment model is very attractive feature.Anypoint platform is very powerful tool to manage your APIs.

May be they need to improve on little bit on customer support. Any point studio needs some improvement, when designing large flows.

Ease of development, deployment and monitoring of integration applications.
API security.
Abundant Connectors.

Anypoint Platform cloudhub UI needs drastic improvement.Anypoint MQ can not be open in IE browser.Pls make it compatiable with IE browser also.
Cloudhub logs need to enhance with some new functionalities like archieving.

The Anypoint custom connector feature is good. Wothout writing any code , we can implement Oauth or other authentication. For rest web services RAML feature is gud.

Data Sense won't work for Java transformers or Groovy transformations. Database Metadata won't form if we pass connection values using configuration files.

Ease of use and number of features. There is also a huge number of connectors to leverage for many industries.

Cost is pretty high for the full version. However, it is worth the price and I still recommend purchasing.

easy to use, faster development and easy learning

Studio is still need some work. some times it is slow when you work with flow properties and diagram

Love to create custom policies. It's a elegant way to do some AOP. For instance, I designed security policy to authenticate the client. I also design a custom policy to apply a capcha when required.

I can't manage to list my api in a pretty way. All my api are listed in the order of creation :-( I would like to be able to create some folders in order to manage them easily.

Easy to install, get started and produce useful output quickly.

Very few bad points... memory usage...
