We performed a comparison between Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services and Mule Anypoint Platform based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Integration Platform as a Service (iPaaS) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The feature I found most valuable in Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services is the mapping. You just drag, and it maps the data. Mapping is very easy, and it's no code. When you migrate data or when the data interaction happens at the source and destination, the challenge is that you'll get different formats. The validation has to be done in the middleware, and the transformation should happen. In Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services, it's very easy to do data validation and transformation compared to any other tool."
"This solution allows you to easily access and make use of information that you have in your on-premises environment."
"The data integration and synchronization features in IICS improve the data handling processes."
"I rate the solution's scalability a ten out of ten."
"This is a good platform for designing, flowing out APIs, and then doing API-based integrations."
"When we talk about the APIs, there are multiple policies one can apply on APIs, like rate limiting policies, OWASP policies, and OWASP security policies, that can be easily configured in Mule Anypoint Platform."
"The community manager is the standout feature of the Mule Anypoint Platform, as it provides a platform to showcase your API to external parties. It is exceptionally user-friendly and enables external parties to easily utilize and consume the APIs."
"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."
"The flexibility has been great overall."
"It's easy to develop APIs."
"Mule Anypoint Platform is our preferred platform for integration."
"The most valuable feature is their integrations and very good API management."
"Synchronicity is an area for improvement in Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services. For example, when you want real-time or immediate response from the solution when multiple technologies are involved, the integration with Informatica Intelligent Cloud isn't seamless, whether it's the MQ, JMS, or BES service, so the connectivity should be improved a bit. The data governance is good, but what's lacking is a demo. For example, if there's a new feature in Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services, the documentation for that new feature is limited, so if Informatica could give a more complete documentation and more demos, that would be better for the users. Right now, there isn't any issue with any of the features of the solution. It's the new feature awareness or user training, and improved connectivity that I'd like to see in the next version of Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services."
"This service could be more cost-effective."
"The product's pricing is definitely an area where a bit of improvement is needed."
"There's definitely room for improvement in terms of user-friendliness. One example is that you can't search for jobs directly by file name. You can only search by job name. So, if you want to find a job that works with a specific file, you have to go through each job individually to find the right one. So, I'd like to see a faster search, one where I can search directly by file name."
"Mule Anypoint Platform is complex for beginners. Users without programming skills will find it complex. It should also improve its pricing."
"Pricing is one aspect of the solution that is troublesome. It's too expensive for smaller organizations."
"It should give better control over account management."
"Although the solution's proxy design and process are good, it faces connecting issues because it lacks data integration."
"Technical support needs to be improved, especially when you need help with more technical aspects of the solution."
"The solution is very expensive. They need to work on the pricing."
"Better documentation, in particular with respect to the initial setup, would be helpful."
"The runtime management and connectors could use some work and are vulnerable to breakage after upgrades."
