MuleSoft vs. TIBCO
IT leaders choose MuleSoft because it connects data from any system, model, vector store, or app. MuleSoft automates workflows to save time, helps manage and secure all data and APIs, and makes it easier to adopt AI. Actionable AI requires modern connectivity and a unified platform, capabilities that TIBCO's outdated infrastructure lacks.

Why MuleSoft?
AI Agent Action
MuleSoft quickly connects all your data so you can activate agents securely across your entire enterprise. And if you’re using Agentforce from Salesforce, you’ll connect 85% faster to MuleSoft than to TIBCO.
Unified Platform
MuleSoft delivers a complete suite of integration and automation tools on a single platform that manages the entire API lifecycle. TIBCO's integration strategy involves separate solutions.
More Third-Party Integrations
MuleSoft provides over 400 connectors to third-party systems along with templates, accelerators, and pre-built APIs. We make it simple to connect to any external system, whereas TIBCO provides half as many connectors.
Fast and Simple B2B Integration
MuleSoft offers a simple B2B integration solution with built-in EDI and APIs—all in one low-code platform. TIBCO requires multiple products with limited EDI capabilities through ActiveMatrix and BusinessWorks systems.
Secure and Comprehensive API Management
MuleSoft provides customers with Universal API Management on a single, secure platform. Since 2024, TIBCO no longer has an API management solution.
Automated Everything
MuleSoft's native RPA solution uses secure API management to handle data safely, speeding up projects by 8x and eliminating routine tasks. TIBCO offers an outdated ESB for process management as a stand-in for automation.
Deploy Anywhere
Deploy MuleSoft anywhere including public, private, and multicloud; on-prem and hybrid; and kubernetes. TIBCO only allows on-prem or cloud deployment using TIBCO Cloud, with limited access to hybrid and multi-cloud.
Don’t just take our word for it.
MuleSoft continues to outperform TIBCO as the market leading iPaaS vendor.
