Great application programming solution

Opmerkingen: If you master the environment alos it's an excellent tool

Pluspunten:

application development solution. the solution allows to design, develop and test applications

Minpunten:

Difficulty in mastering the development environment

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

Opmerkingen: we can create rest services . we can host the services on premises and cloud. these micro service will help the application to run fast .

Pluspunten:

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.

Minpunten:

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.

Perfect Ipaas

Pluspunten:

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

Minpunten:

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

API Lifecycle Management: An Essential Tool for Managing Your APIs

Opmerkingen: Overall I think it is very powerful and flexible platform for small to mid level of APIs. If your APIs are very complex it'll be little tricky to work with this tool.

Pluspunten:

-Being SAAS product we didnt have to spend much time on setting it up-Development and deployment was pretty straightforward

Minpunten:

-Very few third party integration available- Bit expensive

Anypoint Platform by MuleSoft: Powerful API Management Tool

Pluspunten:

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.

Minpunten:

Anypoint Platform is not cheap at all. It's far more expensive than competing solutions. Secondly, it requires a learning curve to master.

MuleSoft - A good ETL Tool

Opmerkingen: Using MuleSoft over past 6 months and counting has been a good experience and I would really recommend to give it a try for ETL based works as it provides a new fresh option to work and demonstrate much needed customer based solutions.

Pluspunten:

We have made quite a bunch of strides forward in our daily customer needs via the ETL features provided by MuleSoft and we believe we can continue to do so with its great integrations.

Minpunten:

There's not much to say as the solutions provided by MuleSoft caters to our customers needs, helping our company's overall goals grow.

A platform made easy to deploy a project

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

Pluspunten:

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

Minpunten:

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

Its best open source and helps in connecting many systems

Opmerkingen: It never crashed or mibehaved.

Pluspunten:

It's a best in improving the system uptime and reduce the downtime and also helps in building API s which can be used again.

Minpunten:

As it's a open source support is not effective.

Anypoint Platform is very good platform which i come across , it is ease to use and user friendly .

Opmerkingen: 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.

Pluspunten:

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

Minpunten:

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.

Feature rich API management and deployment tool

Opmerkingen: While the Anypoint Platform is a newcomer to API management tools, it still manages to be feature rich and offers a great deal of resources for both API development and deployment needs. As an ESB, it offers a plethora of connectors for making our various enteprise systems work with each other while exerting minimal effort to do so. The interface is extremely user friendly as both a developer, administrator and consumer of APIs.

Pluspunten:

- 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.

Minpunten:

- 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.

I have been using MuleSoft Anypoint platform at customer places and the experience is getting better

Opmerkingen: Ease of Integration API Portals and API Gateway

Pluspunten:

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.

Minpunten:

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.

Glass of ice water in hell

Opmerkingen: 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.

Pluspunten:

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

Minpunten:

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

Mulesoft as a middleware

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

Pluspunten:

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

Minpunten:

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.

Complete integration made simple

Opmerkingen: 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.

Pluspunten:

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

Minpunten:

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.

Amazing tool to create knowledge from your current systems

Opmerkingen: 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.

Pluspunten:

The flexibility it provides to build things.

Minpunten:

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

The most awesome IDE for Integrations

Opmerkingen: 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.

Pluspunten:

Lot of connectors, productivity and easy to learn

Minpunten:

Everything is a mouse work unless you have enough experience to write directly to XML files.

Mule ESB 3.8 Features and functionalities review by Naveen

Opmerkingen: I have been using Mulesoft ESB for our Integration needs in the enterprise.
Anypoint Studio is fabulous, it has so many connectors that helps your requirements to complete in time and with ease.
you have variety of components for each use case and also u get a great support from the developer forums and mulesoft dedicated support.
Mulesoft site has so much documentation about the feature and components available, they give you a clear idea of how to use effectively. I recommend this as your one stop solution for all your integration needs, it also has various other features like EDI.

Pluspunten:

So many Connectors available already in the tool and also there is a scope for new connectors as it is a open source. This gives freedom to the developer to use them conveniently.

very nice experience

Opmerkingen: Getting more easy for playing good role on Integration platform end

Pluspunten:

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

Minpunten:

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

It is an excellent platform for development,deployment, monitoring integration application in fastes

Opmerkingen: Free for developement.
Can concentrate on business logic.
Lot of connectors are available to choose from.

Pluspunten:

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

Minpunten:

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.

I am having good experience in development through Anypoint Studio.

Pluspunten:

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.

Minpunten:

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.

Very good. Have been using since 2014

Opmerkingen: Learning and good platform.

Pluspunten:

Easy way to create API. Easy way to do any bulk data operation. Easily we can connect with any thing

Minpunten:

heavy software takes too much cpu so our system should have good configuration otherwise it would be very hard to use it.

Great Product

Pluspunten:

Any point studio is awesome with a lot of components. It also has a lot of out of the box connectors.

Minpunten:

RAML editor can be plugged in Anypoint Studio as currently developing RAML is challenging and using online or trial version of the other softwares

its good

Opmerkingen: Easy to drag and drop

Pluspunten:

it is user-friendly.every one can understand easily this is one of the user-friendly studio.here just we drag and drop no need of write code and all.thanks for giving such type of IDE
