Anypoint Platform

Pros

The validations for the APIs before they're built is nice, and the drag and drop for building and debugging makes it so people who aren't experienced can get a general idea of whats happening.

Cons

The 2 hour SLA was not available to everyone like they said, just the platinum customers.

Pros

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.

Cons

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

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.

Pros

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.

Cons

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.

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.

we use this for our end users to help with system intergartion and its been the best results over its compertion

Pros

very good results and works well for our ebd users

Cons

need training and a little un user frendly for non techis

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.

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.

This was the reason we could do what we did with real AI, machine learning, and hyper connected api's.

Pros

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!

Cons

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.

Pros

I love Dataweave , because I am from B2B Integration background where Mapping plays a major role and a most time consuming part of the integration. Dataweave provides a great power and there are endless option to achieve complex requirement easily as well as quickly comparable to traditional mapping utilities. I believe, due to this it is going to takeover as future B2B/EDI Integration.

Cons

Although the drag and drop interfaces in Anypoint Studio have improved the overall experience, it still has a few issues that causes crashes or unexpected results in the IDE. You to have to reset the perspective or restart Anypoint Studio sometimes.

Nice bus for connecting multiple applications and data sources via services.

Pros

Very powerful product that allows you to connect various and multiple applications via Application Programming Interfaces, along with conducting data migrations and transformations via the same product.

Cons

It is not for the technically faint-at-heart. This product requires technical developer resources who understand REST web services, etc. to truly make the integration points work.

Pros

The most loving part of this software is a unified platform for api getting connectivity.This software enables organizations to easily build and rapidly scale an application network of apps, data, and devices through APIs and its integrations. It includes features like Rapid development very fast with the component design structure made easy,Connectivity to all system,With very optimal runtime providing the real logs/outcomes.Visibility and control which monitors, secure and govern all aspects of anypoint platform - APIs, integrations, traffic, SLAs and more from a single interface.Tops world best brands business are running with Mule anypoint platform as their code design software cococola, buffalo wild wings, atom bank etc are the companies using Any point platform for their business to build services or interfaces

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.

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.

API management

Pros

Provides a mock service automatically

Cons

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

Pros

AnyPoint have a skilled customer support, they are quick to answer and help you. Besides that AnyPoint is simple to use with powerful features and tools.

Cons

I always wanted to explore to the end, but enterprise edition features and B2B functionalities are unavailable to everyone at least for some trail period.

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.

this software has the ability to support new edge technical moves like micro services , API led integration, Hybrid cloud set up

Pros

Lightweight, Good promotion, Commumity forum, Demo use, Nice REST support, Good operabilty between Cloudhub and onpremise set up, Auto Sync between server and anypoint platform.

Cons

Still much dependency on the programming language like Java or scripting language like groovy, very basic support for XML

Pros

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

Cons

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

Few Advantages that Mule has over other products are :-


Mule has a large collection of different connectors to connect and integrate diverse systems. It is said like it can almost connect anything.


Mule is very lightweight and easy to use compared to other esb. Since it is mostly Java based, so, it becomes very easy to use and build custom components. Most important is that, Mule is a pure esb, where other products comes with other functionality and platforms and esb is one of the part of the product. (eg WSO2)


Mule is graphically based unlike most of other esb, where the flows are mostly configured in XML (Apache Camel or Spring integration)


Mule is less expensive compared to most of other products. Even community versions are available, which will not cost you anything.


Mule earlier had a problem of its small size of its community. But nowadays, Mule community is expanding like others.


Mule, as I mentioned is easy to use. for example, if you want to expose a web service and need to do various transformations with payload, you just need to concentrate on your java implementation classes or you Mule flow. Mule will take care of exposing the service to an endpoint and you don't need to write any code for that.
It also has wide range of transformer that will take care of transformation of your payload and also other functionality like orchestration, routing etc and will be easy for you to implement


There are more or less other advantages, you can explore more to get it .
More or less choosing an esb depends on your requirement and budget.

Pros

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

Cons

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.
