We performed a comparison between IBM App Connect and SSIS based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud Data Integration solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It can handle API conversions with mapping and transformation rules, simplifying the development process."
"It's stable to use, connect with the cloud, and to deploy."
"Technical support is good."
"I like the adapters. The adapters help us achieve scalability. If you want to connect to SAP, there's an adapter. Salesforce? There's an adapter. You want to connect to another system? There's likely an adapter for that."
"App Connect's best feature is that it can be deployed in a container."
"It has an efficient design flow."
"The solution is fast and supports Open UI 3.0 certification."
"It's a powerful application for collaboration. It has many features for customization and integration."
"The technical support is very good."
"The ability of SSIS to transform and transport data is extremely valuable to me. It allows for intelligent extraction and manipulation of data during the process. Improved error handling would enhance ETL processes further. I haven't directly utilized the data flow components but they seem capable of supporting complex data integration needs."
"Built in reports show package execution and messages. Logging can also be customized so only what is needed is logged. There is also an excellent logging replacement called BiXpress that provides both historical and real-time monitoring which is more efficient and much more robust than the built-in logging capabilities. And none of this requires custom coding to make it useful unlike many other ETL tools."
"The debugging capabilities are great, particularly during data flow execution. You can look into the data and see what's going on in the pipeline."
"The simplicity of the solution is great. The solution also offers excellent integration."
"The most valuables features are the relatively short learning curve, and the automation capabilities provided through the BIML add-in for SSDT."
"In SSIS, the scope is not only to handle ETL challenges, but it will allow us to do so many other tasks, such as DBA activities, scripting, calling any .exe or scripts, etc."
"The most valuable feature of SSIS is its ease of use. It is easier to use than other applications."
"The setup time for App Connect could be improved."
"Updates are constantly delayed."
"The product should improve its support."
"The addition of string functionality would be a benefit, particularly in the ESQL space that IBM already uses internally."
"They reply in one or two hours at most, but they could be better."
"The installation of containers could be simplified, as it currently requires a senior-level installer."
"IBM App Connect should improve security features."
"Plugins for the repositories are difficult to find."
"Generic processes should be used instead of custom code for each table."
"I would like to see more standard components out of the box, such as SFTP, and Data Compression components."
"I would like to see better technical documentation because many times information is missing."
"I would also like to see full integration with our BI because then our full load of data will be available in our organization. They should incorporate an ATL process."
"Tuning using this solution requires extensive expertise to improve performance."
"The solution should work on the GPU, graphical processing unit. There should also be piping integration available."
"It should have other programming languages supported as well from a scripting perspective. Currently, only C# and VB.NET are supported, which limits it to .NET. It should have Java support as well."
"We've had issues in terms of the amount of data that is transferred when we are scheduling."
