User Testimonials
	MuleSoft Anypoint Platform	TIBCO Messaging
Likelihood to Recommend	MuleSoft Anypoint Platform is best tool in the market for developing APIs with complex structures communicating with various different types of applications including web applications as well as legacy applications. Also applications including database connectivity for fetching and updating data in the DB tables. I cant think of any scenario which MuleSoft Anypoint Platform could not be used for developing the integrations. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Organization which uses TIBCO Business Works or TIBCO Business Process Management or TIBCO BPM Enterprise can make use of TIBCO Messaging as it works well with other TIBCO tools. Many TIBCO tools have TIBCO Messaging products bundled as a package along with other TIBCO tools. Use of dynamic topics and queues makes run time processing easier. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	Provides wide range of popular connectors like salesforce, netsuite, sftp and many more. A user can easily integrate with those services using specific connector. Support API development using RAML and desing tool. The platform is very good in data type classification. Cloud deployment and post deployment monitoring is easy. A user can configure application worker as per need. Alert and notifications are real time. Incentivized Kamta Prasad Technical Lead Read full review	Tibco EMS performs very well, and it meets our stringent performance requirements for corporate messaging backbone. Tibco EMS scales well, and this is another of our stringent requirements. Tibco provides good support for the EMS product, and continues to improve it. This is important as we don't want to use something that does not keep up with the changes in the technology landscape. Incentivized JY Joe Yee IT Strategic Technical Advisor Read full review
Cons	Has more features than what we really need so we're paying for more than we use. Sort of like paying for an Abrams tank when all we really need is a Toyota Corolla. Not a value product, tends to be expensive. Takes a while for developers to learn to use Mulesoft Anypoint. Incentivized A Verified User Cloud Solutions Administrator Read full review	A bit of lag time between data sync and the data reaching the server for some of our field sites. It still seems like a niche product for me with little community support. I didn't know about it before working for a company that deployed it. Certain functionality is too complex to setup as compared to other products on the market. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	No answers on this topic	EMS is a solid system and I see no reason to abandon it, in fact I am eager to see what the next versions will offer and future road maps.

Alternatives Considered	Once we have moved all of our system integration APIs to the MuleSoft Anypoint Platform, we will need to communicate with a wide variety of external systems. All of our business and service logic is stored in the aforementioned core systems. Anypoint Platform (and all of our APIs) makes it easy to connect to various other platforms. In order to link to these many other systems, connectors and/or components are utilized, and they are simple to configure and integrate.

Return on Investment	Mulesoft can be used to provide an integration platform to a large number of systems like Salesforce, ODBC, JDBC, SAP, Mongo DB, etc. An excellent option to develop microservices and real-time integrations.
