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 setup time for App Connect could be improved.""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.""They reply in one or two hours at most, but they could be better.""When we do a version upgrade of the system, the platform is kind of complicated.""Updates are constantly delayed.""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.""The product should improve its support."

"The deployment was rather complicated.""Integrations could be better. Although integration is good, we have faced some block issues.""TIBCO Cloud Integration is not a user-friendly tool when it comes to the installation phase or for maintaining the systems since its architecture is really complex."
