Likelihood to Recommend 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.
Read full review Zoho Flow helps us greatly in connecting other Zoho apps. We use Flow to connect
Zoho Creator with
Zoho Books so an invoice is created when a record is entered into
Zoho Creator . We use Zoho Flow when certain fields containing data in Zoho CRM to send that data over to the
Zoho Creator record. We use it to add a contact from the
Zoho Creator record to a list in
Zoho Campaigns . Zoho Flow has proved very worthwhile.
Read full review Pros 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. Read full review Works with all other Zoho apps to connect them together and share data User interface and dashboard are nice. Gives you a detailed look into flow history and/or audit of your flows The ability to set logic responses and incorporate custom functions makes the app even more powerful Read full review Cons 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. Read full review A deeper resources section, with more "how-to" videos More user functionality to tell you when an app fails, and not just after failing 3 or 5 times in a row. Maybe add some scenario flows connecting two apps with examples of how the flow works and benefits a user.

Read full review Support Rating 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.
Read full review I've reached out to the support team several times with assistance requests in Zoho Flow. Each time the team has answered my questions promptly and accurately. And because we are mainly integrating other Zoho apps their teams are perfectly positioned to solve our problems.
Read full review Alternatives Considered 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.

Zapier and both programs are similar.
Zapier has deeper integrations or more apps to integrate with but considering Flow's association with other Zoho apps this does it for us!
Read full review Return on Investment 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. Read full review It's part of our Zoho One package, so it's hard to comment on this one. Assuming we did pay full price, I would say the ROI would be justified. For our example of sending invoices to Books from Creator saves us a great deal of time. It takes a bit of time to configure each Flow but once you get the hang of it the flows really do save time and ensure data quality. Read full review ScreenShots Anypoint Platform Screenshots
