"The stability of the solution is OK."

Cons
"The installation of containers could be simplified, as it currently requires a senior-level installer.""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.""The addition of string functionality would be a benefit, particularly in the ESQL space that IBM already uses internally.""Updates are constantly delayed.""IBM App Connect should improve security features.""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.""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 price could be better."
  • "The licensing cost for IBM App Connect is very high."
