    MuleSoft Anypoint Platform is best tool in the market for developing APIs with complex structures communicating with various different types of applications including web applications as well as legacy applications. Also applications including database connectivity for fetching and updating data in the DB tables. I cant think of any scenario which MuleSoft Anypoint Platform could not be used for developing the integrations.

    • It's very easy to implement API proxy.
    • User friendly UI.

    • Has more features than what we really need so we're paying for more than we use. Sort of like paying for an Abrams tank when all we really need is a Toyota Corolla.
    • Not a value product, tends to be expensive.
    • Takes a while for developers to learn to use Mulesoft Anypoint.

    Training material is excellent with in depth videos and material that are readily available and easy to understand. Materials are upgraded when new features are out. First time users do not find it difficult to follow and understand all modules. Tests are easily completed due to this. Overall training was great

    From a cost perspective, for what it provides and delivers compared to its rivals, its functionality is right up there. If you're looking to get started with a Saas platform, there really is no better tool than Flowgear.

    Once we have moved all of our system integration APIs to the MuleSoft Anypoint Platform, we will need to communicate with a wide variety of external systems. All of our business and service logic is stored in the aforementioned core systems. Anypoint Platform (and all of our APIs) makes it easy to connect to various other platforms. In order to link to these many other systems, connectors and/or components are utilized, and they are simple to configure and integrate.

    • Mulesoft can be used to provide an integration platform to a large number of systems like Salesforce, ODBC, JDBC, SAP, Mongo DB, etc.
    • An excellent option to develop microservices and real-time integrations.
    • Not as robust in handling large data volumes, Informatica is better in that respect.
