Featured Reviews

Bhaglal Kapar - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior System Engineer at a manufacturing company with 51-200 employees
Data workflows have accelerated and now optimize migration and cost management
The best feature Airbyte Cloud offers is data transformation. Airbyte Cloud has positively impacted our organization by being very helpful and speeding up our work environment. An example of how it has helped speed things up is that we have data here and there, which helps us to organize and speed up our migration. Data tasks help our workflow and organization because most of the things we do manually, so that helps organize.
Emirhan Guven - PeerSpot reviewer
Team Leader, Software Development at a manufacturing company with 11-50 employees
Transforms data efficiently and navigates licensing challenges with ease
The transition between version 12 and version 13 presents some challenges. While version 12 had approximately 10 features, version 13 includes around 200 features with cloud platform compatibility. The learning curve for developers moving from version 12 to 13 could be smoother. When using new components, better context explanations would be beneficial. In version 13, accessing new features requires connecting through a web browser, which can be challenging to understand. The explanation of new features could be more user-friendly.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Airbyte Cloud has positively impacted our organization by being very helpful and speeding up our work environment."
"Airbyte Cloud has positively impacted our organization because we were looking for multiple products and ended up choosing Airbyte because it is easy to use and set up."
"The most valuable feature is the security."
"App Connect's best feature is that it can be deployed in a container."
"When using IBM stacks, IBM App Connect is suitable and integrates well with other IBM products like WebSphere."
"Because it has a graphical developer interface, we can quickly develop solutions that are connecting to anything on the cloud, without having to build those connectors ourselves."
"There is a friendly interface for configuration, and integration is made easy."
"One of the most beneficial features is the ability to handle multiple communication technologies, like integrating Kafka flows, which is helpful as other teams heavily use it. Regarding error handling, I initially wrote most of the handling myself. While built-in features for error handling are built-in, it largely depends on the developer. We use a custom solution that catches all exceptions, logs them in a database, and replays them as needed. It has been effective for us for over twenty years."
"When using IBM stacks, IBM App Connect is suitable and integrates well with other IBM products like WebSphere."
"They give excellent technical support."
 

Cons

"Airbyte Cloud can be improved because it looks good so far, but based on the AI coming, they have to catch up with AI agents."
"I think Airbyte Cloud can be improved by adding more connectors and more customizable connectors."
"The integration with HR systems could be better."
"The platform is somewhat expensive and hard to predict in terms of cost."
"The audit logging, transaction logging and other such similar features, such as the IBM App Connect cloud instance, need to be improved."
"IBM App Connect should improve security features."
"Plugins for the repositories are difficult to find."
"Critical issues are resolved quickly by technical support, but there is a delay in response to items related to the product, deployment, or low production environments."
"They reply in one or two hours at most, but they could be better."
"The user interface of IBM App Connect can be a little bit more user-friendly, I would say because the first-time developer is onboarded while using IBM App Connect, he or she may get a little intimidated or daunted looking at all the options available or the pipelines, et cetera."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price could be better."
"App Connect is not cheap."
"IBM App Connect's pricing is high compared to other products."
"The licensing cost for IBM App Connect is very high."
"The solution's pricing isn't cheap, but you can get good discounts based on your competitive deal."
