Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I'm using Anypoint Platform for one of our US-based clients. The client was looking for a solution to integrate different systems of stock market business. They wanted the solution in microservice or API fashion and Anypoint Platform is a leader in API led connectivity. The Anypoint platform provide rich set of functionality like API manager, deployment strategies, and API policies. A user can create API using RAML specification in the design center and implement those APIs in the flow designer. The deployment of applications is fast and multi worker based. As per the client requirements, we have created multiple microservice/APIs using RAML and published those in Anypoint exchange.

Pros

Provides wide range of popular connectors like salesforce, netsuite, sftp and many more. A user can easily integrate with those services using specific connector.
Support API development using RAML and desing tool. The platform is very good in data type classification.
Cloud deployment and post deployment monitoring is easy. A user can configure application worker as per need. Alert and notifications are real time.

Cons

Anypoint Platform needs to improve the deployment strategy. Currently, it doesn't offer the deployment rollback to the previous version.
Resolving metadata takes time.
The license cost is a bit high for mid-scale companies.

Likelihood to Recommend

The Anypoint Platform is well suited for the integration of multiple subsystems. It is a great system or tool to create microservice-based integration architecture. The user can also use this tool to connect multiple SAAS based applications or data synchronization. Anypoint Platform provides a single entry point for applications where users can apply API policies like rate limit, authentication and many more.

MuleSoft Anypoint Platform : A Powerful ESB & API Management Solution

Rating: 7 out of 10

Incentivized

November 14, 2017

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

MuleSoft Anypoint Platform is being used as an ESB (integration bus). It allows us to transport data from one application to other. It also allows us to transform data to canonical format and to perform synchronous and asynchronous data exchanges.

Pros

Open Source (even if there is no datamapper is not free).
MuleSoft Anypoint Platform is a Java product
We can use Maven to build projects and its dependencies
In MuleSoft Anypoint Platform Studio, we can build an API Management solution also.

Cons

The license is very expensive (for a big organization, it is very recommended to have an Enterprise License)
In a data flow, only one object contains all activities data (input/output)
Sometimes we have to write xml because the graphical designer of flows is not responsive.

Likelihood to Recommend

Mulesoft Anypoint Platform is well suited if we want to have a complete solution which contains both an ESB and API Management and API led connectivity

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

MuleSoft Anypoint Platform can be used for multiple purposes like designing and implementing API, developing simple applications, integrating components etc. I and my organization mainly used the tool for designing and implementing of APIs. We also created basic application flow using the tool. The tool has an easy UI for developing applications. With just a drag and drop off icons your flow of the application is ready. The application helps us to understand the flow in an efficient way.

Pros

Good documentation to follow.
Easy drag and drop UI feature.
Excellent tool for development and deployment process.
Connected with many other supporting tools, so it easy to use our choice of platform for hosting application.

Cons

Would like to see more online tutorials on how to use the tool.
Mostly java based application.

Likelihood to Recommend

The tool is well suited when a user is trying to develop and implement an API. It has an excellent user interface which makes the user enjoy his work. Also, if the user is developing SaaS based application, this is the best tool to use. This tool is handy when a user needs to design an architecture and see the flow.
