If you’re bringing anything into Salesforce you should just invest now into Mule, you will get your money’s worth and find a myriad of uses to build APIs between many other systems. Once you build a component you can easily reuse it as a building block to attach to another source/destination. This makes it easy to ramp up quickly and spread usage of Mule throughout your enterprise. A good value for medium to large companies, but probably cheaper to outsource your job to a consulting firm if you are smaller.

Pros
Salesforce
  • It is best suited for Rest API development. Mule ESB uses RAML as an API descriptor which is less complex and easy to understand. RAML is an open standard majorly supported by Mulesoft. Once RAML is developed, it is very easy (a few clicks)to create flows corresponding to the resources defined in the RAML. One can also include JSON schema validation in RAML, and with the use of APIkit router, Mule ESB makes the request validation very easy (it's automatic basically.)
  • Mule ESB comes with a large spectrum of community and enterprise connectors. We have connectors for all the major platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Salesforce, SAP, etc. This enables Mule ESB to integrate with the other systems in a faster and more robust way. Mule ESB has many components to fulfill the requirements of each integration (for example batch processing, parallel processing, choice, etc.)
  • Mule API gateway is one of the best tools (modules) of Mulesoft's offering. It supports API governance and management very well. One can easily enforce policies on their APIs with API gateway. It enables some of the must-have features in an API solution (i.e. throttling, oAuth, access levels, etc.)
  • Implementing a CI/CD (DevOps) environment for Mule ESB is a very easy task. Mule majorly uses MAVEN as its build tool, which in turn makes it best suitable for CI/CD approach. Mule also provides MAVEN plugins for auto deployments to the servers. Mule also has a best Unit testing module which is MUnit. MUnit can be used for both Unit and Functional testing, and it is easy to write and generates coverage reports in various formats.

  • The drag-and-drop interface, as well as SAP regular improvements to its pre-packaged content, are also excellent features.
  • The security features (such as the cloud connection for sending data to the local system, as well as encryption and scrambling) are really beneficial.
  • Unlike other tools I've tested, the SAP connectivity package offers access to third-party cloud apps.
  • Prototyping may be completed more quickly, and the team can determine whether or not to proceed with the integration depending on the feedback process.

Cons
Salesforce
  • Make sure to not over-engineer shared components. It can complicate development
  • Create a roadmap for where you are going - if not, you may miss components
  • I suggest getting support, otherwise it could be a difficult learning curve

It doesn't have API . We have to go for another API manager. But in Mule, it has both API manager and ESB

I selected it because its now one of the best thing to do and to work. As we are currently working from home it makes the work easy and comfortable and yet the main usage will be in office the environment created will be simple. The UI logic is based on some calculations which will rely on some natural intuations of mind and when it comes to mind it is easy.

  • In the long run will enable us to undeploy our on premise solution
  • As long as integration suite doesn't support all capabilities PO has complete migration is hard
  • Will probably be cheaper than our on premise solution when we are completely migrated
