Who should you choose and why?

✋ Most important consideration

  • Both TIBCO and MuleSoft are big players in the iPaaS market but have markedly different strategies. TIBCO has had less impressive feature releases of late for its cloud offering and is mostly “improving” via acquisition. In contrast, MuleSoft has a broad set of enterprise features to handle integration scenarios but is considerably more expensive.
