What are the pros and cons of integrating contract management APIs directly with SAP BTP versus using third-party middleware platforms like MuleSoft?

We went with SAP BTP for our contract integration and it’s been a mixed experience. The native SAP connectivity is genuinely easier - pre-built adapters for S/4HANA APIs, simplified authentication, and decent documentation for SAP-to-SAP scenarios. But the moment you integrate with non-SAP systems, you’re building everything from scratch. The development tools are less mature than MuleSoft, and the monitoring capabilities are basic compared to enterprise middleware platforms.
