Find out in this report how the two Cloud Data Integration solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Provides good security features."
"The solution is fast and supports Open UI 3.0 certification."
"There is a friendly interface for configuration, and integration is made easy."
"It can handle API conversions with mapping and transformation rules, simplifying the development process."
"Very scalable, flexible, and user-friendly."
"We use IBM App Connect for the integration between the applications."
"When using IBM stacks, IBM App Connect is suitable and integrates well with other IBM products like WebSphere."
"Technical support is good."
"A very user friendly solution."
"The drag-and-drop feature in the interface is very good."
"The solution has a good balance between automated items and the ability for a developer to integrate and extend what he needs. Other competing tools do not offer the same grade of flexibility when you need to go beyond what is provided by the tool. Talend, on the other hand, allows you to expand very easily."
"The most valuable features are definitely data integration, data preparation, and data stewardship."
"The initial setup was quite straightforward. The deployment took between two and three days."
"I can connect with different databases such as Oracle Database or SQL Server. It allows you to extract the data from one database to another. I can structure the data by filtering and mapping the fields. It is very user-friendly. You need to know the basics of SQL development or SQL queries, and you can use this tool."
"The most valuable features of Talend Open Studio are customization and integration."
"It's a good tool. It has the ability to take apart and install whatever we need. It's very good for data, transformation, and loading."
"The setup time for App Connect could be improved."
"The addition of string functionality would be a benefit, particularly in the ESQL space that IBM already uses internally."
"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."
"In the next release, I would like to get some quality connectors."
"The installation of containers could be simplified, as it currently requires a senior-level installer."
"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."
"Plugins for the repositories are difficult to find."
"I think my biggest problem with the tool is that the errors are very hard to debug."
"Inter-version compatibility is a problem, and migration projects between versions are required."
"It is complicated to understand the configuration process for email components."
"he overall marketing and documentation of this product need to improve a lot."
"There used to be many Youtube channels that offered Talend training, but now there don't seem to be any. The solution should offer more online training resources."
"The documentation is lacking within the product. They need to get better at all aspects of describing how it works and how to use it."
"Having additional training materials, such as a video tutorial, would be an improvement."
"It gets the job done but it's a bit slow."
