MuleSoft Anypoint Platform vs. bTrade TDXchange

MuleSoft Anypoint Platform is best tool in the market for developing APIs with complex structures communicating with various different types of applications including web applications as well as legacy applications. Also applications including database connectivity for fetching and updating data in the DB tables. I cant think of any scenario which MuleSoft Anypoint Platform could not be used for developing the integrations.

It's a great product, works very well. Very reliable, secure and easy to use. We're not a large company and don't have big IT staff so the product is very good for companies like ours. Also bTrade support are great! They really help us whenever we have issues or need some additional information.

• API Manager provides easy API Policy Governance. You do not have to manage multiple platforms for managing the policies.
• Supports hybrid Mule EBS environments. You can configure both CouldHub-based and on-premise-based API using Mulesoft API manager in a similar manner.
• It's very easy to implement API proxy.
• User friendly UI.
• Single platform to manage all.

• Reporting
• Auditing
• Ease of use and onboarding
• Stability
• Cost Reduction for hardware requirements

• Has more features than what we really need so we're paying for more than we use. Sort of like paying for an Abrams tank when all we really need is a Toyota Corolla.
• Not a value product, tends to be expensive.
• Takes a while for developers to learn to use Mulesoft Anypoint.

• The product performs flawlessly and meets all our expectations.

Great product and great support and they listen to our feedback on the features!

There’s a lot of learning curve at the beginning when it comes to building the code and everything. In terms of usability, I’d say once you get used to it, it’s fine — but it’s not very easy during the initial stages.

The bTrade TDXchange User Interface is great! It is very intuitive, and easy to navigate. The reporting capabilities are truly invaluable.

Never crashed on us or had issue but that's no surprise, it's used by many companies over the years and bugs were fixed before we got the product.

bTrade TDXchange is very fast and no impact to our other systems.

Anypoint Platform support is very responsive. There is also a huge knowledge base and an active online forum where answers to most questions can be found. When needed support engages the engineering group so adequate solutions or workarounds are always provided.

We have only had to engage bTrade TDXchange’s technical support team a few times, but it has always been a great experience. They are U.S. based and very responsive. We even provided feedback shortly after implementation and they put our recommendation into the next release (or the one after that…I forget exactly).

It literally took a few minutes to install bTrade TDXchange and then with bTrade's documentation we were able to do all the initial setup in under an hour.

Once we have moved all of our system integration APIs to the MuleSoft Anypoint Platform, we will need to communicate with a wide variety of external systems. All of our business and service logic is stored in the aforementioned core systems. Anypoint Platform (and all of our APIs) makes it easy to connect to various other platforms. In order to link to these many other systems, connectors and/or components are utilized, and they are simple to configure and integrate.

We chose bTrade TDXchange over MoveIT for its superior security features, seamless integration capabilities, and user-friendly interface

So far we only have one instance in Prod and one in DR, however a single instance can handle many files because of it's good design.

• Mulesoft can be used to provide an integration platform to a large number of systems like Salesforce, ODBC, JDBC, SAP, Mongo DB, etc.
• An excellent option to develop microservices and real-time integrations.
• Not as robust in handling large data volumes, Informatica is better in that respect.
