Cons
"More connectors could be available for the product as some of the third-party software doesn't have default connectors.""The interface could be better.""The product should improve its support.""The addition of string functionality would be a benefit, particularly in the ESQL space that IBM already uses internally.""Updates are constantly delayed.""When we do a version upgrade of the system, the platform is kind of complicated.""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 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."

More IBM App Connect Cons →

"webMethods.io Integration's installation is complex. It should also improve integration and connectors.""The product's stability is an area of concern where improvements are required.""The solution's release management feature could be better.""I am not satisfied with the solution because it takes too much effort to migrate and add new information. The migration could be easier.""The products, at the moment, are new and there should perhaps be support for the older version of the protocols.""Rules engine processes and BPM processes should be improved.""It is difficult to maintain."
