User Testimonials
	MuleSoft Anypoint Platform	OCI API Management
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. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Oracle API Manager is well suited in a business or company that make use of Apis to facilitate access of backend services and data sources by the staff or customers or both. It is also imported in situations where all actions in a system need to be attributed to specific users. Incentivized Jackson Waithaka Electrical Engineer Read full review
Pros	Provides wide range of popular connectors like salesforce, netsuite, sftp and many more. A user can easily integrate with those services using specific connector. Support API development using RAML and desing tool. The platform is very good in data type classification. Cloud deployment and post deployment monitoring is easy. A user can configure application worker as per need. Alert and notifications are real time. Incentivized Kamta Prasad Technical Lead Read full review	Mature and Reliable. Last year, Oracle API Manager was quite buggy, and couldn't be used at production-level. Fortunately, almost all of the problems that it had previously are now patched. Offloads Most of the Workload of Developing APIs. While defining APIs, Oracle API Manager does a great job in providing suggestions and error checks in our logic. Supports SOAP and REST. Not only can you create APIs that can query for data, but you can also create API endpoints that can manipulate the data in your back-end databases. Verified User Anonymous 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. Incentivized A Verified User Cloud Solutions Administrator Read full review	I would say it would be nice if it could handle non-Oracle type API's...such as in-house developed interfaces, etc. It would be nice if it at least could list non-Oracle type APIs so that this system became a repository for ALL of the application interfaces Maybe it has this and I missed it, the monitoring appears to be one API at a time, would be nice to see a page that has all of the monitored APIs with some basic monitored info perhaps. It does have alerts, audit trails, and integrates with Enterprise Manager (I did not see this integration though) Incentivized Dan Hotka author 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.

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. Incentivized Nikhil Kohli Service Delivery Lead Read full review	Overall, the client is pleased with the API Manager. They are rather new to it so the ROI has not really been realized yet They like the ability to monitor the API's utilization (this monitoring could maybe be used for the prior question on usage billing...they do not currently do this for their supported applications) They like the ability that the APIs can be secured. Just because it exists, doesn't mean it can be used just anywhere... Incentivized Dan Hotka author Read full review
