No-code pipelines have accelerated sales data sync and now support faster team onboarding
Integrate.io Platform has helped simplify my data pipelines, as it is really good with Salesforce sync. This has been our main feature that we have consistently used, and it has really reduced our time in terms of syncing our database with Salesforce, which used to take a lot of time. The best features Integrate.io Platform offers include the no-code, low-code feature, which has been really good for us, especially for new developers to come in and get started. Additionally, the rich connectors that the platform has are very important because sometimes connections may not be compatible with others. The CDC, real-time under 60-second database replication, has also helped us a lot. No-code, low-code has had the biggest impact for my team. This has reduced the training part considerably. We don't have to do a lot of training, and not just senior developers, but junior developers can also contribute.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"One of Cloud Pak's best features is the Watson Knowledge Catalog, which helps you implement data governance."
"IBM Cloud Pak for Data is a very useful tool because it has the entire gamut of tools, starting from collecting the data from various sources using direct integration or through data virtualization and then organizing it into catalogs and applying their organization's policies or if they have other enforcement policies on top of that."
"It is a scalable solution, and we have had no issues with its scalability in our company. I rate the solution's scalability a nine out of ten."
"You can model the data there, connect the data models with the business processes and create data lineage processes."
"One of Cloud Pak's best features is the Watson Knowledge Catalog, which helps you implement data governance."
"IBM Cloud Pak for Data is a powerful cloud-native all-in-one easy-to-use solution that enables us to put data to work quickly and effectively."
"IBM Watson Catalog and data pipelines are the most valuable features of the solution."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine or ten out of ten."
"Integrate.io Platform has helped simplify my data pipelines, as it is really good with Salesforce sync."
 

Cons

"One challenge I'm facing with IBM Cloud Pak for Data is native features have been decommissioned, such as XML input and output."
"To improve IBM Cloud Pak for Data, I suggest more out-of-the-box integration, enhancement of analytics to be sharper, and the deployment options should be very flexible."
"The setup cost is very expensive. The cost depends on the pieces of the solution I'm using, how much data I have, and whether it's on the cloud or on-prem."
"The product is trying to be more maturity in terms of connectors. That, I believe, is an area where Cloud Pak can improve."
"The technical support could be a little better."
"One thing that bugs me is how much infrastructure Cloud Pak requires for the initial deployment. It doesn't allow you to start small. The smallest permitted deployment is too big. It's a huge problem that prevents us from implementing the solution in many scenarios."
"The tool depends on the control plane, an OpenShift container platform utilized as an orchestration layer...So, we have communicated this issue to IBM and asked if it is feasible to adapt the solution to work on a Kubernetes platform that we support."
"The solution could have more connectors."
"Customer support could be better. We often get replies that are delayed, and sometimes there is a lot of back and forth."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Cloud Pak's cost is a little high."
"The solution's pricing is competitive with that of other vendors."
"I think that this product is too expensive for smaller companies."
"IBM Cloud Pak for Data is expensive. If we include the training time and the machine learning, it's expensive. The cost of the execution is more reasonable."
"The solution is expensive."
"I don't have the exact licensing cost for IBM Cloud Pak for Data, as my company is still finalizing requirements, including monthly, yearly, and three-year licensing fees. Still, on a scale of one to five, I'd rate it a three because, compared to other vendors, it's more complicated."
"It's quite expensive."
"For the licensing of the solution, there is a yearly payment that needs to be made. Also, since it is expensive, cost-wise, I rate the solution an eight or nine out of ten."
