Most of our use cases are for Salesforce. So, the connectors for Salesforce have been really helpful. They've made development two times faster.

It was pretty fast to develop APIs on this platform, which is something I liked about it. So, the time to value was pretty good.

Mule ESB is more into the latest REST APIs, not much into the SOAP web services. Developing is all about web services and not easy with Mule.

From an improvement perspective, there should be fewer coding challenges for users in Mule ESB.

One area that could be improved is the way that policies are propagated when APIs are moved from one environment to another. It's an issue, but when you develop and test the rest APIs in a lower environment and need to move them, there's a propagation process. This process moves certain aspects of the APIs, like the basic features. But when we move them, the policies don't always move with them. The policies should be able to move so we don't have to redo them manually. There are some APIs we use, but it's a bit tedious.

From the product perspective, it was sometimes hard to manage the dependencies. When we had to add dependencies on a couple of different packages, it was sometimes confusing. It was hard to update them with Anypoint Studio, as well as with MuleSoft. There were challenges with that. So, that's one of the areas that could be improved.

We would like the ability to use our own code. This would allow us to develop customizations with ease. Additionally, it would be nice to have more analytics or insights on the exchanged information between databases.

MuleSoft is not so strong in method-based integration, so they're not so functional in that regard.

It would be great to see implementing security modules as a feature.
