We performed a comparison between IBM App Connect and Mule Anypoint Platform based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud Data Integration solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."When using IBM stacks, IBM App Connect is suitable and integrates well with other IBM products like WebSphere."
"It's stable to use, connect with the cloud, and to deploy."
"Provides good security features."
"It has different type of interfaces that can integrate with companies."
"I would say that the most valuable feature is the array of connectors and integration tools."
"It has an efficient design flow."
"There is a friendly interface for configuration, and integration is made easy."
"The most valuable feature is the security."
"It's easy to develop APIs."
"This is the easiest and best tool available."
"The solution's market place for different kinds of integration platforms is the most valuable feature."
"MuleSoft Anypoint Platform's most valuable features are its observability and stability."
"The API toolkit is the solution's most valuable aspect at this time, for our organization."
"The solution's deployment and proxy processes are very good."
"The initial setup is quite easy because the solution has a good interface through which the configuration, mapping, and so on can be done."
"I have found several things most valuable, including its very quick implementation that you can use a lot of out of the box templates, and lastly that it is a very mature product, especially in hybrid integration."
"When we do a version upgrade of the system, the platform is kind of complicated."
"They reply in one or two hours at most, but they could be better."
"The product should improve its support."
"More connectors could be available for the product as some of the third-party software doesn't have default connectors."
"IBM App Connect is scalable. From the administration side, they need to improve the RBAC model, as well as the clustering of this product. It will be good if we can start up the cluster, via IBM Connect Console. Some other products like MuleSoft, are providing this type of administration. MuleSoft is easy to use and user friendly."
"It is not easy to deploy. It requires someone with a high level of knowledge in the solution to deploy it, not just anyone can do it."
"In the next release, I would like to get some quality connectors."
"IBM needs to enhance and have a stronger offering for the event streaming part because this is the future needed for the containerization and the new integration requirement."
"It has different types of subscriptions. For platinum or lower subscriptions, there are not too many things that can be done. We don't see many features. They should release a basic version that has logging and monitoring features. These features should come with Mule Anypoint Platform for free instead of making customers pay separately for these features. Its dashboard can be improved to have a lot of charts so that it is easy to visualize information. The utilization part can be improved. The dashboard is good currently, but it can be better. Other solutions like Elastic have a good dashboard, and they allow you to administer the product from the UI. Currently, for RTF, there is a different dashboard or utility. It would be good to include the same utility in the cloud solution. It would be good if there is a centralized repository that includes the links to the information about various troubleshooting issues. The documentation is there currently, and it is good, but the troubleshooting information is too scattered. We have to go to different links to find troubleshooting information. This kind of centralized repository would be helpful for new customers who are implementing this solution. It will be helpful to see different kinds of issues that can occur."
"The solution is very expensive. They need to work on the pricing."
"In order to set up a storefront, we currently rely on a third-party solution. It would greatly enhance our operations if this feature was integrated into their existing solution."
"Its documentation needed a little bit of work to make it more usable. It is a platform that is used mainly by developers and other people for connecting systems. Its documentation was confusing in some areas and was not very helpful in other areas. I had to go to a consultant to get some work done, which ideally shouldn't be required."
"It should give better control over account management."
"The pricing can be a little bit less."
"An on-premise setup requires special skills and you need a lot of professional services."
"Mule Anypoint Platform could improve by having more up-to-date adapters to do work in a digital space."
