MuleSoft Anypoint Platform Reviews

Anypoint Platform is at the top.

Comments: From the cloud we perform the monitors of our ESB, the integration is of another level thanks to Anypoint Platform.

Pros:

We are delighted with the use of the integration platform, the connectors are ready to use. The dataweave is excellent with its ESB feature. The watermark concept for great batch processing.

Cons:

When batch processing is done extensively causes delays, it represents a big problem at the time of integration.

Anypoint Platform from Mulesoft is a complete API management tool.

Comments: 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.

it is great , with the help of anypoint platform we can do restful services and more.

Comments: 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.

Anypoint Platform by MuleSoft: Powerful API Management Tool

Pros:

What I like most is how easy it is to deploy a project using the easy drag and drop feature. 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.

Best platform for integration

Pros:

One single platform to handle apis and integrations

Cons:

It can be quite expensive initially. RAML and studio have to be learned.

Anypoint platform

Comments: Good

Pros:

If you want to make your api and the things where api is used this is the best platform

Cons:

Learning can be bit difficult at the beginning.

Best API Solution Platform

Comments: Great platform for API solutions.

Pros:

It is easy to manage and integrate and is very easy to learn since it is low code. It has a variety of connectors so we can connect to a lot of platforms easily. Basically, it's a one-stop solution to integrate and manage API.

Cons:

The enterprise edition seems to be too expensive for small companies.

I've been working with Mulesoft as an integration platform for 3 months.

Pros:

I think this is a great piece of kit because of how intuitive the software is. Completing and editing integration is made visually easy.

Cons:

The online training is all over the place since the upgrade. The paper documentation and video classes do not sync up with the homework and this makes it very frustrating.

Awesome tool for building and developing APIs!

Pros:

The software is really intuitive and filled with various features. The best part is that it features a unified platform for API getting connectivity.

Cons:

Customer Support is not very snappy and this really needs to be improved especially to ensure the smooth usage of the tool.

Software development and integration platform enabling rapid connected applications

Pros:

Standardizing the application runtime and APIs enables easy to use integrations to be developed rapidly and with minimal domain expertise

Cons:

Not as agnostic (e.g. hard JVM dependency) or extensible (e.g. Node.js or Python application integration) as I would like, making it hard to use it for all of our ecosystem. We oftentimes end up only fully taking advantage of the API Gateway and RAML parts.

I would like to give my review on Anypoint Platform.

Comments: 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.

So you can see how Anypoint Platform smartly uses Layered architecture style to build out network applications eaisly. 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 premises

Mulesoft's Anypoint Platform makes API development very fast and easy

Comments: 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.

Mulesoft Anypoint Platform - "One Stop Solution for All your Integration Needs"

Comments: First of all the GUI is Good and easy to use, Mule palette has the connectors needed and if you want more connectors go to exchange and u will good huge number of connectors for each need of the requirement. We stay focus on our main service, while experimenting new services by trying connectors or even develop our own connector. Development is made easy with this drag and drop with very minimal coding based on the requirement.

Pros:

1. Runtime Manager- Very easy to deploy the build on cloud and manage applications. 2. Exchange - Provides wide range of pre-built connectors, APIs, Examples Etc. Along with these you will also find the links to source codes and documentation in the github. 3. API Manager - Designing REST base APIs made easy using API Manager. You can also publish and test APIs. It offers secure architecture for managing APIs.

Cons:

Recent Upgrades are not compatible with old components, we have to rebuild the old code to get with the new upgrades. In memory wise it take little bit high RAM usage.

Best tool ever

Pros:

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

Cons:

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

Low Code Hits the ESB

Comments: Mule is by far the easiest ESB I have been exposed to. I have reviewed several others and all of them are very code oriented requiring a rather steep learning curve just to deploying your first project. With Mule and the drag-n-drop Anypoint Studio deploying your first project is very simple. Performing transformations also is very simply with the DataWeave component. This component is very flexible. Its use can be as simple as dragging one field from the input to the desired location in the output. Or it can be complex allowing you to develop functions to retrieve other data, manipulate the provided data or create new data. All in all AnyPlatform is a excellent ESB.

Pros:

Easy to learn Highly flexible Focused on not only improving technology but being a disruptor in the technology field

Cons:

Is rather expensive Could use better database integration tools The IDE tends to be sluggish

Complete integration made simple

Comments: I've been leading the uptake and implementation of the Anypoint Platform for a Government department and it has proven time and time again to be the correct technology choice. Integrating existing systems (including GeoSpatial systems, SAP, Microsoft Dynamics CRM and the like), providing new and more efficient methods with which data and users can be introduced through effective API design and providing the capability to expose these systems to the outside world with a hybrid-cloud approach - all with negligible impact on day to day business and without the need for a huge team and the complexities of many other players in this space.

Pros:

Ease of use, easy to learn, quality and range of out of the box connectors, overall completeness of the solution.

Cons:

Sometimes the Anypoint Studio IDE can be frustrating and it does have some bugs - although these are usually very quick to be resolved once reported.

Technical Architect - API Creation

Comments: Easy to install and use and work very good with the dot net SOAP based services.

Pros:

It very easy to create new APIs for our existing WCF Services.

Cons:

The help is great; however, you must have a background in services to get the most from the information presented.

How MuleSoft made me switch to Java from Microsoft after a decade

Comments: After working on Microsoft's BizTalk Server for over a decade, I stumbled upon MuleSoft and decided to give it a shot. I was so impressed by this integration platform that I've been suggesting my clients to switch to MuleSoft.

Pros:

Ease of use, intuitive user interface, no need to install any database to run the software, download the software and you're ready to go, large number of out of box connectors adapters to connect variety of systems, very easy to implement enterprise integration patterns

Cons:

Sometimes error messages are cryptic and need basic knowledge of Java Spring to sort them out.

Amazing tool to create knowledge from your current systems

Comments: I'm a developer and a user of Mule from the last 3 years.
I saw it evolve to become a great tool that can help you in a very wide set of goals, from provide an entire solution to expose functionalities supporting all your business, to just create a simple integration between 2 systems.
You define your limits.

Pros:

The flexibility it provides to build things.

Cons:

Sometimes, finding the best approach for a particular issue could be a bit tricky.

This is one the best studio o have ever seen very best in quality and customer support was awesome

Comments: Make my code very easy and this design made me fell in love

Pros:

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

Cons:

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

Anypoint Studio Does the Job

Comments: Using Anypoint Studio in my day-to-day work for integrations, I've found that Anypoint studio makes creating simple integrations very easy to do. However, once we get into more complicated integrations, Anypoint starts to get a little less usable with just the out-of-the-box features. At least they make it fairly simple to add custom processes.

Pros:

A lot of out-of-the-box content

Cons:

Support is not that great.

The most awesome IDE for Integrations

Comments: The platform brings everything that is needed for entTerprise to build integration platform to promote connectivity and robustness in the business services. Great platforms to learn easily and start development with minimum fuss.
