"The most valuable features of the Mule Anypoint Platform are the Flex Gateway, API management, easy-to-use, and connectors. Additionally, they are coming out with improvements to the solution when required."
"It is a stable product...The initial setup was simple."
"API management."
"The ability to link to different technologies is valuable to us."
"One of the most valuable features is data transformation. We have some legacy systems which are in old technology, like SOAP, whereas the new ones are in REST. So we use BusinessWorks to transform data from one format to another, from SOAP to REST."
"The Business Studio interface based on SCA Standards helps to show the business logic at first look and improve code maintenance."
"The most valuable part of the solution is the ease-of-use and ease of deployment."
"It is a seamless and sophisticated tool."

"The OSGI console is available to debug different issues and get low level informations on the applications development, like bundle, dependencies, etc."
"Code quality, Code Security, SaaS, and DaaS security, can all be improved."
"The runtime management and connectors could use some work and are vulnerable to breakage after upgrades."
"The solution's licensing methodologies could be improved."
"We would like an entire DevOps in place in this particular solution."
"Mule Anypoint Platform is complex for beginners. Users without programming skills will find it complex. It should also improve its pricing."
"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."
"Better documentation, in particular with respect to the initial setup, would be helpful."
"Pricing is one aspect of the solution that is troublesome. It's too expensive for smaller organizations."
"The cost of the solution has room for improvement."
"TIBCO BusinessWorks could be improved with cloud support."
"Technical support is average. It's not the best."
"Scaling with the solution is costly because if we need to scale up, we have to buy more memory. That means more money. Solutions like Camel or Pulsar come with built-in options to scale horizontally, vertically, region-wide or country-wide."
"The communication protocols could be improved."
"The initial setup is not easy."
"There are multiple plugins which increase the number of product installations."
"I'd like to see a new cloud approach in the next release. They need to work on integrations, stability and management issues on their cloud platform."
