MuleSoft Anypoint API Manager Valuable Features
I believe the API connectivity within the cloud marketplace is most valuable. There are a lot of services available in the form of services or microservices, which are exposed via the API. Currently, API connectivity has become a mainstream integration. When you go to the B2B space where they have the partner ecosystem, there are a lot of suppliers and vendors there. Integrating them seamlessly for your supply chain or for your inventory management creates an efficient team of partners.
Overall, the platform is pretty good, I cannot say which one specific feature is good. The idea of an API Manager is really interesting.

For example, communication security is very strong, and it automatically decrypts your images and encrypts your messages during communication. In addition, it provides different kinds of policies you can apply, which is just a plug-and-play configurable, which is very easy.

I mainly focus on the development part where I take requirements from the customers and consult with my technical architect, trying to translate the business requirements into actual technical solutions. Their development environment is good.
I also play the role of a technical architect, but this depends on the project requirements and customer requirements. In case they need consultation, I try to provide my expertise.

One good thing about MuleSoft, is that they have a lot of connectors to those backend applications. We don't really need to write code to be able to connect to a database or to connect with SAP. You just need credentials and the connectivity details. Most of the development of what we do is just drag and drop. They're able to connect with applications using standard connectors that are provided by ESB, by MuleSoft.
The initial setup is very straightforward.
The solution has been very stable.
Technical support has been great.

The most valuable things about this solution are how it is implemented and managed, and that it is vendor-free.
For system integrators and analysts, it is pretty clear how this system works.

You can find SLA there. You can do the security level that you need. You can also do any authentication, authorization, implementation, etc.
You can create it yourself and publish it. While publishing, if there is a unique ID generated by that, it will be implemented there while creating the application. While deploying to the cloud, the Mule runtime is internally created and embedded in the API Manager.
All of these features are available in the cloud, and you can configure it. It is of great benefit to the customer.
MuleSoft has given the API solution a 3-tiered architecture. This means that there are multiple channels available in one application. The usability is very high.

When using the Mulesoft Anypoint Platform, it has a wide range of connectors that are readily available to connect with the multiple applications. They have specifically categorized the API application into three parts; backend APIs, middle APIs (which handles a business process), and front end layer APIs. These distributed API applications make Mulesoft a well matured and organized platform.

I would say one of the more valuable features is the stability of the platform. The API gateways across the market end up exposing more or less the same functionality when it comes to the mediation exposure of the proxies. It was decent to work with it even though there weren't many stand out features. The user interface is consistent across all of the products. It's difficult to differentiate APG from IBM Connect or MuleSoft Anypoint platform. They have a rich user interface.
