Questions to ask about MuleSoft
If you’re wondering whether to stay with Salesforce’s MuleSoft or not, here are some questions you deserve answers to:
How strong is the platform’s native support for industry-standard EDI formats (X12, EDIFACT, TRADACOMS, etc.)?
Which EDI standards are supported out of the box? How much custom development is needed to onboard new or uncommon EDI formats? Are there prebuilt maps and templates available for common document types? Does the platform support AS2, AS4, SFTP, FTP/S, OFTP2, and VAN connectivity.
How scalable is the platform when managing high-volume B2B transactions across hundreds or thousands of partners?
Are you ready for growth in transaction volume – especially as your business expands or you connect with high-transaction partners? Is your current system reliable enough to support that growth without performance issues or downtime?
Are you ready to support complex EDI use cases quickly without relying on custom work or manual interventions?
If the business needs it tomorrow, could you roll out a new EDI flow using multiple protocols or standards (like AS2, SFTP, EDIFACT, etc.) right out of the box? Do you have the flexibility to adapt to different partner requirements without building custom logic each time? Is your current solution productized and scalable – or are you relying on workarounds to meet evolving needs?
Are compliance, audit trails, or partner SLAs a growing concern for your integration processes?
Do auditors or customers ever ask you to prove exactly what happened to a specific transaction? How much effort goes into preparing reports or resolving disputes?
Are you managing compliance-heavy or regulated B2B data exchanges (e.g., e-invoicing, automotive, healthcare, financial)?
Do your integrations require strict compliance and audit trails? Axway’s platform is built to meet regulatory demands, reducing risk and simplifying audits.
