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."Very scalable, flexible, and user-friendly."
"There is a friendly interface for configuration, and integration is made easy."
"App Connect's best feature is that it can be deployed in a container."
"Technical support is good."
"It can handle API conversions with mapping and transformation rules, simplifying the development process."
"It's a powerful application for collaboration. It has many features for customization and integration."
"It has an efficient design flow."
"It has different type of interfaces that can integrate with companies."
"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."
"Cloud Pak for Integration is definitely scalable. That is the most important criteria."
"Plugins for the repositories are difficult to find."
"Updates are constantly delayed."
"It is not easy to deploy. It requires someone with a high level of knowledge in the solution to deploy it, not just anyone can do it."
"IBM needs to enhance and have a stronger offering for the event streaming part because this is the future needed for the containerization and the new integration requirement."
"The interface could be better."
"In the next release, I would like to get some quality connectors."
"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."
"When we do a version upgrade of the system, the platform is kind of complicated."
"Its queuing and messaging features need improvement."
"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."
"The pricing can be improved."
"The initial setup is not easy."
