Offers flexible adapters, good scalability but logging can be difficult at times

There is room for improvement in the logging messages. Sometimes, if you put someone new into App Connect, they can abandon it the same day. The logging is really painful. However, IBM has made efforts to integrate with Elasticsearch for logging, so that's an improvement. Overall, the logging can be difficult at times. 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. Back in 2013, I worked with Sonic ESB, and even then, it had CI/CD with Maven. With App Connect, you need to build everything yourself when using tools like Jenkins, Bamboo, or CircleCI. IBM really needs to provide official support for this.

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 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."

"App Connect's best feature is that it can be deployed in a container."

"It's a powerful application for collaboration. It has many features for customization and integration."

"Very scalable, flexible, and user-friendly."

"We use IBM App Connect for the integration between the applications."

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

"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."

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."

"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."

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

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

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

Cons

"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."

"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 interface could be better."

"They reply in one or two hours at most, but they could be better."

"Updates are constantly delayed."

"Plugins for the repositories are difficult to find."

"More connectors could be available for the product as some of the third-party software doesn't have default connectors."

"The product should improve its support."

More IBM App Connect cons

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

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

"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."

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

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"App Connect is not cheap."

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

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

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

"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 price could be better."

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

"The cost depends upon the consumer."

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