The most valuable feature of Mule ESB is data transformation, i.e. our interacting with different systems and orchestrating for our business needs.
Mule ESB, with its Mule Expression Language, DataWeave, and event-driven architecture, enhances integration and data transformation. Seamless Salesforce integration via connectors boosts business processes and API development. Microservices architecture ensures application scalability, while its open-source model strengthens flexibility. Despite cryptic documentation, memory-heavy Anypoint platform, and stability issues, the broad connector range and community support add value. Dependency management and large data handling need improvement in Anypoint Studio and MuleSoft.
