Cons
"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 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.""The setup time for App Connect could be improved.""IBM App Connect should improve security features.""Updates are constantly delayed.""The installation of containers could be simplified, as it currently requires a senior-level installer.""The addition of string functionality would be a benefit, particularly in the ESQL space that IBM already uses internally.""More connectors could be available for the product as some of the third-party software doesn't have default connectors."

More IBM App Connect Cons →

"The workflow could be improved.""It would be helpful to build applications based on Azure functions or web apps in Palantir Foundry.""The solution could use more online documentation for new users.""Difficult to receive data from external sources.""It requires a lot of manual work and is very time-consuming to get to a functional point.""Cost of this solution is quite high.""If you want to create new models on specific data sets, computing that is quite costly.""Compared to other hyperscalers, Palantir Foundry is complex and not so user-intuitive."
