We performed a comparison between Flowgear and IBM API Connect based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Integration Platform as a Service (iPaaS) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The no-code visual front end, along with pre-built samples, allows someone with very little technical ability to get an integration up and running."
"The solution has increased efficiency and productivity and saved us time and money."
"Being able to seamlessly make changes to how one can do mapping visually without having to be a seasoned developer is great."
"It has improved our integration with our data supplier."
"Great for data flow."
"Well-managed version control of workflows and the simplicity in promoting workflows through each environment has aided my team in developing workflows for various environments without the risk of losing development work."
"The Flowgear tool is helping us reduce the manual work that is done."
"The support is good and active. I rate the technical support a nine out of ten."
"It is a very scalable solution."
"Using API Connect allows us to quickly create proxy APIs and saves time on end-to-end testing, which lets us deliver quickly to clients."
"The most valuable features are stability and security."
"Publishers can easily identify, create, and publish APIs on the developer portal, defining plans, packages, and potentially billing rules."
"Policy configurations are pretty easy."
"The solution provides a common place for all APIs, allowing for easy sharing and exchange of information between internal and external stakeholders."
"The solution is very scalable because it's on the cloud."
"Currently, when designing and testing larger workflows, the sessions timeout and re-authentications are frequently required."
"The initial setup was a bit complex as we were new."
"The UI could be improved."
"We would like to see more learning videos for beginners."
"The software itself needs to keep up with the daily demand to service all clients as the need arises."
"The product would be nice if it could provide the deployment features in the lower packages."
"The product needs to improve the self-help tools and samples."
"In the next version, I don't know if they've already been included it or not, but the designer and all the tools should be on the cloud. I don't want any external installation or local installation."
"Different versions of the same thing can mean unnecessary duplication."
"The integration of cloud-based services is where we're looking for improvement in this platform."
"Like any typical IBM infrastructure setup, you need to learn to set it up yourself. It's not one of those simple zip files or an archive unzip and you're up and running in some few minutes. Knowledge to set it up is key."
"It needs to be less taxing on compute resources."
"The solution is not scalable."
"There are some performance issues and issues related to asynchronous APIs."
"I would like to see support for non-Java based services. We struggle a bit to be able to deploy and connect our .NET services because of things like data types. We had to map a couple of things. For one solution provider, we had to move them to .NET Core before we could use it properly. I would like to see more agnostic tool service platforms rather than moving it more towards Java or open source."
