By far the best integration software platform i used in my 14 years of professional career. Easy to use and manageability of application is easy.

Vorteile

Easy to connect to various external systems such as database, File Systems etc.. We can use existing connectors to connect to various external systems instead of writing the code. Amount of time take to develop a application is relevantly less.

Nachteile

Support from the mule soft is not sufficient so far. we need to raise a case if we face a issue and average respond time from mulesoft folks is not fast as would expect. we have faced this problem couple of times in my office.

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

Vorteile

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.

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.

Highly recommended for mobile application development where lot of integrations are involved across multiple components.

Vorteile

We have majorly used this software for rapid development of mobile applications as it's always hard to deal with component integrations and propagate changes over all the network of integrations. This tool made it much simpler to design experience level applications and handled all the inter component integrations seamlessly saving a lot of development time.

Nachteile

We faced minor issues sometimes updating the endpoints of integrated components but otherwise a great software.

Vorteile

The Anypoint Platform has matured significantly since its inception. It now has API managment, analytics, dashboards, self-discovery, and multiple deployment options.

Nachteile

As the feature set has gone up, so has the price. It's starting to price out small to mid-level customers.
