It is stable and we did not have any issues with initial setup. I am not sure if there are various connectors available in the recent version to support the wide range of sources available.
I am not sure if there are various connectors available in the recent version of Pervasive DI to support the wide range of sources available (e.g., big data, cloud, EME) I have been using it for 6-7 months. There were no concerns with the stability. This product is very good from a stability…

Integration workflows have become transparent and secure while error tracking is streamlined
The best features in MuleSoft Anypoint Platform for me are transparency between logging in or deploying and using different environments. Managing different environments for the transparency of error logins or how to trace traceability is very important. It's very easy to use and sort, so you can see where everything has gone right and everything has gone wrong. I'm aware of the drag-and-drop interface in MuleSoft Anypoint Platform, and it's very, very quick. It's very time-saving and very efficient. The security features on MuleSoft Anypoint Platform help maintain data integrity in my organization; I would say it's second to none. It's one of the best out there that I have worked with because of the encryption and decryption, and there are a lot of security aspects. I would assess the platform's data mapping and transformation capabilities as amazing. Automation has been straightforward; the transformation and mapping have been easy to use, easy to source, and from the source to the target. I would say it has been very good.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"This product is extremely useful and better than building an in-house solution."

"Web based interface."
"There were no concerns with the stability. This product is very good from a stability perspective."
"For data transfers and ETLs on Windows, this is a great product."
"The most valuable features of the Mule Anypoint Platform are the Flex Gateway, API management, easy-to-use, and connectors. Additionally, they are coming out with improvements to the solution when required."
"I have found several things most valuable, including its very quick implementation, that you can use a lot of out of the box templates, and lastly that it is a very mature product, especially in hybrid integration."
"Customers can make use of Runtime Fabric, an RTF environment."
"Overall, it is a pretty good product and it is also very scalable."
"The security features on MuleSoft Anypoint Platform help maintain data integrity in my organization; I would say it's second to none."
"It is very easy to use for building connectors. It comes with a lot of connectors. For example, it has different adapters for NetSuite, which are very easy to use. It also has Salesforce connectors. The object store feature is also really easy to use. Mule Anypoint Platform is also good in terms of performance and how it is managed behind the scenes."
"The Mule Anypoint Platform is one of the best integration solutions and they come up with new updates which are required, whereas other solutions do not have the latest updates."
"We use simple queues and exchanges to route messages to multiple queues. The publish/subscribe model is also helpful."
 

Cons

"I am not sure if there are various connectors available in the recent version of Pervasive DI to support the wide range of sources available (e.g., big data, cloud, EME)."
"At the moment, we can't even use it for 1, since it keeps failing in our QA testing."
"Technical support is an area which can definitely improve."
"The areas which I think need to be improved are the transform and load steps."
"Anypoint MQ's capabilities are mainly used for messaging purposes, but it doesn't have typical use cases that extend as far as other Message Queue software."
"The solution's pricing model is very strange, and it will be really expensive if you use APIs a lot."
"Mule Anypoint Platform could improve by having more up-to-date adapters to do work in a digital space."
"The pricing and licensing can be a little bit expensive."
"It's extremely expensive to change things in Anypoint MQ. There's also this issue of slow output of messages, and that needs to be improved."
"It's extremely expensive to change things in Anypoint MQ, e.g. we have to go through either Accenture or IBM."
"Over the years, Mule Anypoint Platform has undergone significant improvements. When I first started using it, the API gateway capabilities were fairly basic."
"Better documentation, in particular with respect to the initial setup, would be helpful."
