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

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.

Provides a mock service automatically

Many bugs in the editor - showing errors where there are none, showing errors on the wrong lines. Versioning done wrong - no way to keep API definitions in a proper SCM like Git Sharing not enabled properly in our organisation - not sure why but was told it was due to a "limitation" I wasted 2 full days doing training that was dull, slow, factually incorrect and we had to help the trainer spot his own mistakes

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.

n number of possibility in integration space considering its direct competitors. Design Center is a mater stroke for creating API specification & API Manager(act as Gateway) which competitors doesn't have. Graphical flow design which is easy to build and debug.

I don't see any because Mule fulfills much need integration needs

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.

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.

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.

Data Mapping is the feature i like most in this software, there are many feature which are as follow are the best for my project. Debugging suppor,APIkit RAML Support

RAML Support, we can import RAML files for your APIs that are managed in the Anypoint Platform by the API Manager and keep them in sync with the platform.While working with a RAML file, you can also view an embedded interactive API Console that's automatically built from the resources and methods described in your RAML.Handle complex data mappings and transformations through the Transform Message component, that leverages the powerful DataWeave language. This component allows you to create your transformations both through a simple drag and drop visual interface or by coding in DataWeave to unleash all of the language's potential.

- Intuitive user interface. It's extremely easy to locate API information and consume analytic information. - Easy to do create new APIs via RAML. - Fast and easy deployments and updates. - Wide range of connectors.

- Customer support can be a bit slow and hard to reach. - Developer Portals for APIs do not allow for much customization. - If you manage a lot of APIs, it is hard to keep track and administer APIs since tables do not let you sort using API request date and other variables.

Light-weight. Scaling down - quick point-to-point integrations. To the Cloud - CloudHub.

Circular reference is wrongly interpreted during deployment, even though it will not result in loop.

Error-handle processing, deep code programming (directly on the XML), Python, Java and other code separated into the transformations, complete IU for developing, connection with versioning solutions

Prcesses monitoring, task schedule

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.

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.

- Starts up quick. - Vm queue - Eclipse based IDE - Easily extendable - Simplest SDK every seen - Ability to use Hybrid environment

- Minor data mapping change required a development cycle. - Log cluttering - To many release, and non backward compatible changes

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

logs are rolled off after some limit ,observed worker crashed issue many times with many of my applications

A lot of out-of-the-box content

Support is not that great.

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.

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.

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

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

I feel Anypoint is a smart tool. Like in other integration tools we need to specify each and every thing manually where as in this based on the location we are placing a palette, it automatically pick up the behavior and do basic thing itself. Dataweave is a powerful functionality we have in Anypoint studio, which is again very smart palette. Above all, availability of multiple connectors.

Setting up the project in local that too in new system is very difficult and time consuming. It takes too much time for updating dependencies, mostly maven.

Mulesoft provides the very good different connectors to connect just to give by certain params, also transform message is powerful feature of Mulesoft which can transform any data format to any.

Some times not able to Debug the flow even after creating the fresh instance of Anypoint Studio, also there is no hint or predefined Oatuh url each time need to go for particular connector documentation

This is a very interesting framework to learn ... learning the same creates lots of fun .. I love to learn lots about mule.

Only certification is very costly and very hard to get certified trainner in place .Anyway thanks online training .

new technology within one IDE.Its most effective, most competitive, we can learn a lot of thing if we have intention to learn.

lot of things we need to learn to become a expert, proper time, and dedication is required for this technology.

The drag and drop feature, of course, datasense, data mapping for transformations. Does the heavy work of connecting to different services, allowing programmer to focus on programming things only.

Sometimes clicking on message processors don't open properties tab, you need to click on some other and then click back on the processor you want to, it happens especially with transform message. Sometimes the changes are not reflected when deploying, so you have to delete .mule folder from workspace and launch again.
