We performed a comparison between IBM App Connect and IBM Cloud Pak for Integration based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."When using IBM stacks, IBM App Connect is suitable and integrates well with other IBM products like WebSphere."
"We use IBM App Connect for the integration between the applications."
"It has different type of interfaces that can integrate with companies."
"I like the adapters. The adapters help us achieve scalability. If you want to connect to SAP, there's an adapter. Salesforce? There's an adapter. You want to connect to another system? There's likely an adapter for that."
"Provides good security features."
"There is a friendly interface for configuration, and integration is made easy."
"Very scalable, flexible, and user-friendly."
"It's stable to use, connect with the cloud, and to deploy."
"The most valuable aspect of the Cloud Pak, in general, is the flexibility that you have to use the product."
"It is a stable solution."
"The most preferable aspect would be the elimination of the command, which was a significant improvement. In the past, it was a challenge, but now we can proceed smoothly with the implementation of our policies and everything is managed through JCP. It's still among the positive aspects, and it's a valuable feature."
"Cloud Pak for Integration is definitely scalable. That is the most important criteria."
"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 interface could be better."
"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 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."
"They reply in one or two hours at most, but they could be better."
"In the next release, I would like to get some quality connectors."
"More connectors could be available for the product as some of the third-party software doesn't have default connectors."
"The initial setup is not easy."
"Setting up Cloud Pak for Integration is relatively complex. It's not as easy because it has not yet been fully integrated. You still have some products that are still not containerized, so you still have to run them on a dedicated VM."
"The pricing can be improved."
"Its queuing and messaging features need improvement."
