Executive SummaryUpdated on Dec 3, 2024

IBM App Connect and Oracle Data Integrator Cloud Service are competing in the integration solutions category. IBM App Connect appears to have the upper hand due to its extensive integration capabilities and flexibility for varied applications.

Features: IBM App Connect is recognized for its wide range of integration capabilities, ease of use, and strong security features, making it suitable for handling complex integrations and deploying in containerized environments. Oracle Data Integrator Cloud Service is known for its seamless integration within the Oracle ecosystem, focusing on simplicity and effectively managing large-scale data tasks.

Room for Improvement: IBM App Connect can improve its audit logging, transaction logging, and support accessibility, as well as enhance collaborative development and security options. Oracle Data Integrator Cloud Service needs simplification in mapping features and better pricing competitiveness, along with improved connectors for third-party products and monitoring capabilities. Both could benefit from more competitive pricing and feature enhancements.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: IBM App Connect supports on-premises, hybrid, and public cloud deployments but faces challenges with delayed update rollouts and technical support. Oracle Data Integrator Cloud Service focuses on public and private cloud deployments. Users note that while technical support for both is generally good, improvements in response times and initial issue acknowledgement are needed.

Pricing and ROI: Both IBM App Connect and Oracle Data Integrator Cloud Service are critiqued for high licensing costs. IBM offers a flexible licensing model, potentially balancing cost against features when integrating multiple products. Oracle’s pricing is competitive with solutions like Boomi but becomes costly at scale. ROI is observed in long-term use cases, but high skill requirements can affect ROI for less experienced users.

Emirhan Guven - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Peeyush Chouksey - PeerSpot reviewer
Allows us to integrate different cloud services with different applications
It's lacking a lot of mapping features that Oracle OSB and SOA have. It needs to evolve a lot. When it comes to mapping, you are quite restricted. If you have to use a specific, typical function, you need to do a Java callout or something. OSB has a lot of features they are using like Java APIs because it's on-premises.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature is the user-friendliness of the application."
"It's a powerful application for collaboration. It has many features for customization and integration."
"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."
"The transformation capabilities in IBM App Connect are particularly beneficial."
"The most valuable feature is the security."
"Provides good security features."
"The solution is fast and supports Open UI 3.0 certification."
"When using IBM stacks, IBM App Connect is suitable and integrates well with other IBM products like WebSphere."
More IBM App Connect pros
"The solution is easy to manage and offers good integration. You can run all the tasks one by one which is really helpful, and pick the day and time to do so."
"It's on the cloud, so it's scalable and quite easy to work with."
"The data is stored in the cloud, making it easy to download data simultaneously into multiple smaller servers, effectively downsizing the process."
"The most valuable thing to me is its simplicity. A person with zero knowledge can also develop the integration without having extensive technology knowledgebase. They can also work on creating their own integration."
"Oracle Data Integrator helps us build tables and data marts and allows us to schedule them daily, for nearly real-time data warehousing."
"Oracle integration cloud has got the adapters for all their products, which makes integration faster."
"Having a single vendor supporting the entire suite of applications."
 

Cons

"The product should improve its support."
"More connectors could be available for the product as some of the third-party software doesn't have default connectors."
"IBM App Connect should improve security features."
"Updates are constantly delayed."
"When we do a version upgrade of the system, the platform is kind of complicated."
"They reply in one or two hours at most, but they could be better."
"The interface could be better."
"The setup time for App Connect could be improved."
More IBM App Connect cons
"I would like to see different cloud adapters or connectors in case of integration. When you have Oracle to Oracle, they are good. They have really good connectors, but if it is a different ERP, like Obsidian, that is where they are faced with problems in OIC."
"The pricing could be more competitive."
"It can be made much easier for users. They should be allowed to easily monitor the data extraction and flow, allowing them to observe real-time data flow within the software, making the process straightforward."
"I've found technical support not very effective. They should work to improve their services."
"This is an expensive solution compared to other products on the market."
"It's lacking a lot of mapping features that Oracle OSB and SOA have. It needs to evolve a lot."
"Bulk uploading can be a problem when you hit the upper limit."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Initially, App Connect was quite expensive because the cost was based on the number of processors we used. However, it's now based on containers, which means we can be more specific about our consumption and get a better price."
"App Connect is not cheap."
"The solution's pricing isn't cheap, but you can get good discounts based on your competitive deal."
"The licensing cost for IBM App Connect is very high."
"The price could be better."
"The cost depends upon the consumer."
"IBM App Connect's pricing is high compared to other products."
"It is very expensive if we want to scale."
"The price is competitive compared to Boomi which is much higher."
