The main use of MuleSoft Anypoint Platform is to provide to our company the entire Cloud solution to host all RESTful APIs. There we can manage and monitor all our systems, having control and support for our applications.
Also, Anypoint Platform provides us a development environment to design our APIs on RAML language and also mock services to speed up the development and delivery. Our main business is system integration using RESTful APIs to exchange data between the systems.
  • Design Center (RAML design definition)
  • Runtime Manager (Cloud solution to host RESTful APIs)
  • Monitoring (Environment Monitoring - Prod and Non-prod)
  • Cloud Development (Design Center - Development of APIs)
  • Access Management (An existent user cannot be "reused")
[MuleSoft] Anypoint Platform fits for an enterprise company that wants to gain time with environment configuration. The deployment environment - pre-prod and prod - is ready to use once you access Anypoint Platform. It's true you can customize all configurations for your environment based on your requirements and needs, but if you don't, just deploy and run your APIs.
For small business, Mule doesn't have a low-cost subscription which can attend small companies. The subscription and license prices are too high for a startup with limited financial resources.

  • Productivity (gain time on environment configuration)
Once we use [MuleSoft] Anypoint Platform to host all our system integration APIS, we need to exchange data with a lot of different resources. Those listed systems are our main systems that hold all business and logic behind our service. The integration from Anypoint Platform (and all our APIs) with these systems is extremely simple to use. The connectors and/or components used to connect to these other systems are easy to configure and to integrate.

Software Developers and Software Engineers: responsible for the development of new APIs to integrate the systems through Anypoint Platform
Business Analysts and Project Managers: responsible for the business decision of what should be delivered to the customer and what must be improved for all integrations made by the developers/engineers
Basically, the Anypoint Platform host all system integration which makes the business of the company. Also, it's responsible to handle the data exchange between them.

I have implemented the Anypoint API Manager for our 3 clients. For us, Anypoint API Manager is the main and only point of entry to access our Web APIs hosted in a hybrid environment (on CloudHub and on-premise). We are managing our API access policies from the API Manager. It's really very easy to control the access of API through API manager. One can easily enable or disable policies without much effort and with zero downtime cost. Below are few policies which we majorly implement for our clients-
1. Rate Limiting
2. Basic Authentication with LDAP
3. SLA Based Rate limiting
4. IP whitelist/blacklisting etc.

There are many other cool features provided by Mulesoft API manager but above ones are commonly used. OAuth 2.0 Token authorization is also very easy to implement with API Manager.







  • 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.
  • Mulesoft does not provide independent API Manager solution. Unlike some well-known API Management platforms, for example, AWS API Gateway, you cannot manage or configure APIs which are hosted on some other platforms (i.e. WSO2, Fusion middleware etc.). So, you always have to purchase the integration solution with API Manager.
  • If you compare the Anypoint API manager costs with its peers like AWS, it is very costly and that's why it does not attract small organizations.
Anypoint API Manager is well suited to organizations where they want to manage the entire API lifecycle from a single platform. For organizations which have implemented their integration layer with Mule ESB, it's the perfect platform. They can design, build, deploy and manage all of their APIs from the Anypoint platform.

For organizations where the cost is a major decision-driving factor, they can opt for some other cheaper options like AWS API manager, Layer 7, etc. So basically, the features which you're getting ready-made in Anypoint API manager you can manually configure in AWS and save some money.

  • Easy implementation - Policy enforcement is quick and easy, which in turn saves a lot in implementation costs.
  • Lower maintenance cost - Since it is hosted on Mulesoft-managed cloud, there is no maintenance cost involved.
The main reason why we chose Anypoint API Manager is because it is well suited with the APIs developed in Mule ESB. AWS, on the other hand, is a very good tool but still evolving and offers a small set of API management features.

MuleSoft Anypoint Platform can be used for multiple purposes like designing and implementing API, developing simple applications, integrating components etc. I and my organization mainly used the tool for designing and implementing of APIs. We also created basic application flow using the tool. The tool has an easy UI for developing applications. With just a drag and drop off icons your flow of the application is ready. The application helps us to understand the flow in an efficient way.
  • Good documentation to follow.
  • Easy drag and drop UI feature.
  • Excellent tool for development and deployment process.
  • Connected with many other supporting tools, so it easy to use our choice of platform for hosting application.
  • Would like to see more online tutorials on how to use the tool.
  • Mostly java based application.
The tool is well suited when a user is trying to develop and implement an API. It has an excellent user interface which makes the user enjoy his work. Also, if the user is developing SaaS based application, this is the best tool to use. This tool is handy when a user needs to design an architecture and see the flow.
  • Time and energy saved.
  • In the initial stages, this tool is little tuff to understand but will love it once you know how to use it.
  • Powerful tool.
It is a powerful tool with smart intelligence. The drag and drop feature makes my work easy. The tool has great connecting support which is the best reason to use the tool on a daily basis. Powerful functionality with designing and implementing APIs. Hosted on public IP.
