Best Use Cases
Ehsan's Growth Take
MuleSoft is the Salesforce of integration: market leader, expensive, and often more than you need. But for Fortune 500 companies managing 200+ APIs across hybrid infrastructure, nothing else provides the governance depth. The Einstein AI features are catching up to SnapGPT but still feel secondary to the core platform. Don't buy MuleSoft unless you're ready to hire MuleSoft developers — the platform demands specialization.
