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.

"For data transfers and ETLs on Windows, this is a great product."
"There were no concerns with the stability. This product is very good from a stability perspective."
"This product is extremely useful and better than building an in-house solution."
"We have been using it for ETL, it is very robust and easy to use."
"It reduces manual loads in maintaining servers as it comes with the Cloud Hub feature."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the ease of developing APIs."
"It is a stable product...The initial setup was simple."
"The ability to define multi-tiered APIs and reuse them is a fantastic platform feature."
"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."
"Mule Anypoint Platform has a good feature for batch processes where the internal tool handles everything."

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."
"The areas which I think need to be improved are the transform and load steps."
"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)."
"Technical support is an area which can definitely improve."
"Lacks intelligent management data and intelligent mappings."
"An on-premise setup requires special skills and you need a lot of professional services."
"MuleSoft's release calendar is rather conventional with two major, two minor releases and hotfixes in between. The competition sometimes offer more rapid release cycles and provides improved and new functionality with a faster time-to-market."
"Pricing is one aspect of the solution that is troublesome."
"The price could be improved."
"This becomes an expensive solution over time."
"The stability is another thing on MuleSoft that can be improved. They introduced connectors for other platforms and sometimes the connectors are not great quality and they are not very robust, so that affects the stability and is an area where stability and the product overall could be improved as well."
"From a monitoring point of view, MuleSoft Anypoint Platform can improve on tracking transactions."
