Great UI, easy to install agents in a microsoft environment, quite advanced if you understand the underlying technology.

Versions of the tasks and rollback of the earlier or specific versions of the tasks. The commercial and community of the 3rd party features are also quite hard to understand.

Mule ESB comes out of the box with a great suite of enterprise-level connectors, allowing quick, no-hassle wire-ups of standards-based processes. If your solutions are more custom, Mule is Spring-backed, meaning wiring up custom protocols is almost as easy...

Comprehensive Documentation which helps us getting started up with the pre-requisite and configurations is missing.
