My analysis shows that MuleSoft purchasing decisions are owned primarily by IT and engineering leadership, with Directors of Information Technology (20%), Directors of Software Engineering (11%), and Directors of Enterprise Architecture (7%) leading the charge. These leaders are driving digital transformation initiatives that require seamless system connectivity. Their strategic priorities center on modernizing legacy systems, enabling API-led connectivity, and building scalable integration platforms that support enterprise-wide data flow across CRM, ERP, and cloud applications.
Day-to-day MuleSoft users include Backend Engineers (16%) and specialized integration developers who build and maintain API integrations. These practitioners design data pipelines, implement middleware solutions, and create reusable integration assets using Anypoint Platform. They work hands-on with DataWeave transformations, manage deployments across CloudHub environments, and ensure connectivity between systems like Salesforce, SAP, NetSuite, and various data lakes. The focus is operational: maintaining uptime, troubleshooting integration failures, and optimizing performance.
Companies consistently express pain around fragmented systems and manual processes. I found phrases like "eliminate the complexities and time-consuming processes," "tackle the pervasive challenge of data fragmentation," and "seamless connectivity between internal systems, data pipelines, and external platforms." Organizations seek MuleSoft to create a "unified view of customers" and enable "API-led connectivity strategies" that break down silos. The recurring theme is transformation from point-to-point integrations toward scalable, governed integration architectures that support business agility and data-driven decision making.

Shows how much more likely Mulesoft customers are to use each tool compared to the general population. For example, 287x means customers are 287 times more likely to use that tool.
I noticed something striking about companies using Mulesoft: they're enterprise organizations deeply invested in the Salesforce ecosystem who are wrestling with complex integration challenges. The appearance of both Salesforce Experience Cloud and Service Cloud at such high rates tells me these aren't just Salesforce users, they're companies running their entire customer relationship infrastructure on that platform. They need Mulesoft specifically because they've accumulated so many systems that need to talk to each other.
The pairing of UIPath with Mulesoft is particularly revealing. These companies are automating business processes at scale, using robotic process automation alongside API integration. They're likely dealing with legacy systems that can't be easily replaced, so they're building automation layers on top. The Docker Hub correlation reinforces this: they're modernizing their infrastructure while maintaining connections to older systems. This is classic enterprise digital transformation in action.
What really caught my attention is Wistia appearing so frequently. This isn't a tool you'd expect in a purely technical stack. Its presence suggests these companies are producing significant amounts of video content, likely for customer education, training, or marketing. Combined with Sentry for error monitoring, I'm seeing companies that care deeply about customer experience across both their product and their content.

I noticed that MuleSoft's customers span an incredibly diverse range of industries, but they share a common thread: they're complex organizations dealing with multiple systems that need to talk to each other. These aren't simple businesses. They include global insurance providers like Manulife and Resolution Life, manufacturing giants like WestRock and Mitsubishi Electric, financial services firms, healthcare organizations, logistics companies like Ligentia, and fast-growing technology platforms like DoorDash and Razorpay. What unites them is operational complexity, whether they're "managing portfolios of in-force life insurance policies," providing "global supply chain solutions," or running "digital-first customer conversations" at scale.
These are overwhelmingly mature, established enterprises. The signals are clear: massive employee counts (Unilever has 127,000+ employees, AstraZeneca 77,000+), multi-billion dollar revenues, and post-IPO funding stages. Even the smaller consulting firms serve Fortune 500 clients. I see companies with decades of history, operating across multiple countries, managing thousands of locations. The startups in this list are rare exceptions, and even they are typically Series A or beyond with significant scale challenges.
