Cons	Learning should be easy for even a beginner Users may find the platform a bit overwhelming if they do not understand it Incentivized Ashwin Baatjes DevOps Engineer Read full review	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.
