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

"Web based interface."
"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."
"We have been using it for ETL, it is very robust and easy to use."
"This product is extremely useful and better than building an in-house solution."
"From my perspective, the best feature in MuleSoft Anypoint Platform is its seamless integration with Salesforce."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the ease of developing APIs."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the interface, the ease of use of the product, and its stability."
"The platform's cloud integration capabilities are good."
"It is a very good ESB tool for integration."
"The integration potential is excellent, it has a very good database, there is no complexity during the initial setup, the solution is scalable, the stability is great, we have found the documentation to be excellent, and it has very good filters available."
"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 tool’s API management capabilities are excellent."
 

Cons

"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."
"At the moment, we can't even use it for 1, since it keeps failing in our QA testing."
"The inclusion of GenAI in the tool can be good since it is an area that is currently unavailable in the solution."
"I think in the next release if they could work with the low-code platform that developers are struggling with that would be helpful."
"The logs in terms of how the logs are populated could be improved."
"It has different types of subscriptions. For platinum or lower subscriptions, there are not too many things that can be done."
"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."
"There is not much information on the internet...The transforming message is an area in the solution that needs to be improved."
"The solution's pricing model is very strange, and it will be really expensive if you use APIs a lot."
"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."

"I rate the product price a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
