    Not only for this tool, but for others, I use a criteria sheet to be able to gather requirements from my area, and others that may use or be affected by the tool. Using MOSCoW method, to separate from must-have, nice-to-have, or not-having features to prioritize and score the decision.

    In the past we used Mulesoft and then moved into Boomi, based on features and pricing. Although, Mulesoft has evolved a lot in the last months.

    To your points: 3) API openness and continual development from the vendor. 4) using it as an integration hub allows you to integrate once different platforms via APIs (if you're a managed services provider for instance, once done, you have other customers that share same tool already integrated) and if you need to leave a tool for some reason, it is less impactful, since integrations stay at the hub level.

  • Thank your for your feedback @CarlosAlves I´ll definitely use the MOSCoW method for future decisions. Hopefully more member of TSIA reply to this question. Let´s keep the networking :)
