"Its documentation needed a little bit of work to make it more usable. It is a platform that is used mainly by developers and other people for connecting systems. Its documentation was confusing in some areas and was not very helpful in other areas. I had to go to a consultant to get some work done, which ideally shouldn't be required."
"Better documentation, in particular with respect to the initial setup, would be helpful."
"The solution's pricing model is very strange, and it will be really expensive if you use APIs a lot."
"Although the solution's proxy design and process are good, it faces connecting issues because it lacks data integration."
"MuleSoft's release calendar is rather conventional with two major, two minor releases and hotfixes in between. The competition sometimes offer more rapid release cycles and provides improved and new functionality with a faster time-to-market."
