More IBM App Connect Pros →

"The most valuable features of the Talend Data Management Platform are the components.""The features that I like the most are the simplicity of the interface, and the ability to quickly develop with a predefined component.""The solution is very user-friendly and easy to understand.""We can develop our own code if we do not see the functionality we need.""I think Talend is one of the easiest tools for faster implementation compared to other tools.""Talend Studio has the ability to connect to almost anything to integrate data from files, databases, web services, etc.""I like everything about this product, but the biggest thing is the ease of use.""The most valuable feature is integration."

Cons
"The product should improve its support.""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.""Plugins for the repositories are difficult to find.""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.""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 interface could be better.""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."

More IBM App Connect Cons →

"They lack in memory capacity.""The product must enhance the data quality.""I'd be interested in seeing the running of Python programs and transformations from within the studio itself.""The sales and market department could improve the Talend Data Management Platform.""The solution's memory sometimes bottlenecks and that can be challenging.""Once you get past the basic tools, it gets pretty complicated.""Including either XML or JSON in the next release would definitely be a good transformation. I'm not sure if Talend has that feature, but it's one of those requirements that we are working around and have to do some parsing of XML so this could make it easier.""The stability is good, but the performance is slower when I work on a huge amount of data."
