We performed a comparison between IBM App Connect and IBM Cloud Pak for Integration 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."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."
"When using IBM stacks, IBM App Connect is suitable and integrates well with other IBM products like WebSphere."
"It's a powerful application for collaboration. It has many features for customization and integration."
"It can handle API conversions with mapping and transformation rules, simplifying the development process."
"I would say that the most valuable feature is the array of connectors and integration tools."
"It has an efficient design flow."
"Technical support is good."
"Very scalable, flexible, and user-friendly."
"Cloud Pak for Integration is definitely scalable. That is the most important criteria."
"It is a stable solution."
"The most valuable aspect of the Cloud Pak, in general, is the flexibility that you have to use the product."
"The most preferable aspect would be the elimination of the command, which was a significant improvement. In the past, it was a challenge, but now we can proceed smoothly with the implementation of our policies and everything is managed through JCP. It's still among the positive aspects, and it's a valuable feature."
"The interface could be better."
"IBM App Connect is scalable. From the administration side, they need to improve the RBAC model, as well as the clustering of this product. It will be good if we can start up the cluster, via IBM Connect Console. Some other products like MuleSoft, are providing this type of administration. MuleSoft is easy to use and user friendly."
"They reply in one or two hours at most, but they could be better."
"When we do a version upgrade of the system, the platform is kind of complicated."
"The installation of containers could be simplified, as it currently requires a senior-level installer."
"The addition of string functionality would be a benefit, particularly in the ESQL space that IBM already uses internally."
"Updates are constantly delayed."
"More connectors could be available for the product as some of the third-party software doesn't have default connectors."
"Its queuing and messaging features need improvement."
"The pricing can be improved."
"The initial setup is not easy."
"Setting up Cloud Pak for Integration is relatively complex. It's not as easy because it has not yet been fully integrated. You still have some products that are still not containerized, so you still have to run them on a dedicated VM."
