"Very scalable, flexible, and user-friendly."
"We use IBM App Connect for the integration between the applications."
"The product is scalable and excellent for enterprise-level organizations."
"Informatica is good for integrating data and cloud applications. We have connectors for integrating cloud applications like Salesforce. You can quickly integrate anything with an exposed API or a REST API. The industry is increasingly shifting to the cloud, so we need more products that can connect to cloud-based applications. The integration is seamless and works in real time. It's also secure because you don't need to expose databases or tables."
"The most valuable feature is the building of mockups and tasks."
"The support is very good."
"I do a quite a lot of data transformations, and the fact that I can do them without changing any of my SQL queries from the code, using the inbuilt tools, is very helpful."
"The solution is straightforward."
"The Mapping Designer allows for declarative ETL development (visual scripting) that leverages a wide array of different transformations."
"It is quite easy to use and flexible."
"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."
"The addition of string functionality would be a benefit, particularly in the ESQL space that IBM already uses internally."
"IBM App Connect should improve security features."
"Updates are constantly delayed."
"More connectors could be available for the product as some of the third-party software doesn't have default connectors."
"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."
"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."
"In the next release, I would like to get some quality connectors."
"There is room for improvement at the highest level in terms of useability and connectors for various types of new applications. The row processing performance could be better because you experience some latency dealing with high volumes of data. Most organizations will be dealing with multiple cloud applications, so you could see performance issues moving from one system to another."
"It would be helpful if there was a GenAI feature integrated into the system, especially regarding the data quality."
"The vendor should have more training resources: online classes, free tutorial videos, etc."
"The cloud version could be better in terms of pricing."
"Its features for partitioning and optimization could be better."
"Certain shortcomings in the product's UI make it an area where improvements are required."
"The current features are a bit complicated, and we need to write big scripts and test."
"The regions in which the data resides are still limited. This could be an issue in terms of the data residency laws of some of the countries. They should get more regions."
