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.

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.

Associate Manager at Accenture

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

"I would say that the most valuable feature is the array of connectors and integration tools."

"I like the adapters. The adapters help us achieve scalability. If you want to connect to SAP, there's an adapter. Salesforce? There's an adapter. You want to connect to another system? There's likely an adapter for that."

"It has different type of interfaces that can integrate with companies."

"It's stable to use, connect with the cloud, and to deploy."

"It has an efficient design flow."

"The most valuable feature is the user-friendliness of the application."

"There is a friendly interface for configuration, and integration is made easy."

"I recommend IBM App Connect Enterprise to everyone."

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."

"Oracle integration cloud has got the adapters for all their products, which makes integration faster."

"The data is stored in the cloud, making it easy to download data simultaneously into multiple smaller servers, effectively downsizing the process."

"Oracle Data Integrator helps us build tables and data marts and allows us to schedule them daily, for nearly real-time data warehousing."

"Having a single vendor supporting the entire suite of applications."

"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."

"It's on the cloud, so it's scalable and quite easy to work with."

Cons

"One more important point is that if IBM improves its CI/CD capabilities, it will make a big difference. Right now, I have to create my own CI/CD setup from scratch for every client, which is inefficient."

"The product should improve its support."

"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."

"In the next release, I would like to get some quality 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."

"Finding developers for the product is difficult since it is a niche solution. I know the OpenShift environment is running well for the microservice environment. We had some issues with the other environment we tried to implement. It can be easily implemented internally, but we have some problems in practice."

"Updates are constantly delayed."

"I've been using IBM App Connect for about twenty-five years, and while I like it, there are some areas for improvement. The trace policy is ridiculous, and the biggest issue is the cost—it's expensive. People would use it much more if the price point weren't so high."

More IBM App Connect cons

"Bulk uploading can be a problem when you hit the upper limit."

"The pricing could be more competitive."

"I've found technical support not very effective. They should work to improve their services."

"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."

"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."

"It's lacking a lot of mapping features that Oracle OSB and SOA have. It needs to evolve a lot."

"This is an expensive solution compared to other products on the market."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"IBM App Connect's pricing is high compared to other products."

"The solution's pricing isn't cheap, but you can get good discounts based on your competitive deal."

"The cost depends upon the consumer."

"The price could be better."

"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."

"The licensing cost for IBM App Connect is very high."

"It is very expensive if we want to scale."

"App Connect is not cheap."

"The price is competitive compared to Boomi which is much higher."
