Who should you choose and why?

✋ Most important consideration

webMethods.io was a very popular on-premises integration tool for some time (and still is!). Unfortunately, they came late to the iPaaS party and are largely playing catchup to other prominent iPaaS providers. Still, although MuleSoft and others have better features and functionality, webMethods.io is easy to deploy and Software AG (its parent) offers very flexible pricing.

🤔 Strongly consider webMethods.io over MuleSoft if

You are looking to build IoT integration scenarios that require handling MQTT protocols.
You want application connectors for your integrations.
You want to migrate older integrations to more modern cloud-based iPaaS solutions.

🤔 Strongly consider MuleSoft over webMethods.io if

You are looking for “ease of integration” using standard APIs and tools.
You want more advanced role-based access control (RBAC) features.
You are planning to use packaged solutions for common integration scenarios.

📝 Other Notes

MuleSoft provides better support for multi-tenant architecture compared to webMethods.io.
