MuleSoft Anypoint Platform Reviews

Anypoint Platform: APIs Anywhere

Comments: My company uses this platform to maintain some integration services and to publish these to other companies.

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.

Cons:

At this time my only cons are to move the MuleSoft on-premises processes to the CloudHub because these requires some adaptations to run in Anypoint Platform.

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.

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.

the most advanced integration platform

Pros:

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

Cons:

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

Mulesoft as a middleware

Comments: It was a great experience to work using Anypoint Platform. It has both on premise and cloud.

Pros:

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

Cons:

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.

A platform made easy to deploy a project

Comments: It was an exceptional experience and very easy to use.i love it

Pros:

It gives perfect monitor tools.It's easy to use

Cons:

It's difficult to find people who already know the platform.Design center acts weird sometimes.

The best Platform for API management

Comments: 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.

It is a very good tool to build, test and deploy flows to cloud hub

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.

Glass of ice water in hell

Comments: 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

its good to work with this software

Comments: 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

About Mule

Pros:

It is a very easy integrated tool mode by mulesoft i am working on it since last few months i am really feeling so nice while using this tool.

Cons:

No, as per what I used I like this software as compared to the others.

MuleSoft - An Integrator

Comments: I have been using mulesoft for the past 3.5 Years and was absolutely delighted with the features it possess. 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.

Awesomesauce! A platform that really delivers on ease of API management and Flexibility.

Comments: 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. :)

I have been using Mulesoft for last couple of years. It has solved my integration needs.

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 against other ESB like fuse ESB and WESB

Comments: i have delivered 6 project till now in Mule ESB, it is really good to see in every release of the ESB mule soft is giving new and enhance features

Pros:

easy to use, faster development and easy learning

Cons:

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