As for new features, I haven't explored all of them yet, but I appreciate the plug-and-play nature of App Connect with different interfaces. Overall, I would rate IBM App Connect as nine out of ten, but with the disclaimer that I haven't tested all features extensively. The usual explanation for any drawbacks relates to the pricing and justification for the cost.
My recommendation depends on lots of factors. Things like architecture, design, existing IBM products, and budget all play a role in the decision. For a small company, I might suggest something cheaper. But App Connect is a very good tool. Overall, I would rate the solution a seven out of ten.

IBM App Connect is a part of Cloud Pak. Thus, it benefits us with the ease of integration of multiple components. We can overview the integration capabilities as well. Those using IBM App Connect should opt for a containerized solution rather than a VPN-based one. Containerization offers greater flexibility and can resolve several issues compared to a more traditional VPN setup. I rate it an eight out of ten.
IBM has a complete bundle offering, which is very good because it gives the customer agility and flexibility in using the software. Earlier, if I bought one license, I needed to trade it or remove it to buy new software. Now, I have one license that I can exchange as per my usage, which is good. As a new offering, they have the Red Hat OpenShift as a containerization platform. They have it embedded with the license; you get it for free. If you want to go into containerization with other products, like MuleSoft or TIBCO, you need to pay for the Red Hat OpenShift, which is an expensive platform. IBM bundled all the integration software into one bundle, called the cloud platform integration, where with one license, you can have multiple products and pay as per your consumption. You have Cloud Platform Integration, and you can use it for multiple products like App Connect, API Connect, and MQ. Overall, I rate IBM App Connect a nine out of ten.
I rate IBM App Connect an eight out of ten. I recommend others for the product if you need to build highly scalable and secured services. In the case of services for enterprises with a high volume of APIs, I advise them to use the enterprise version of the product.

We're customers and end-users. We're using the latest version of the solution. I'd advise others to look carefully at licensing. Since it is a bit complex, they need to make sure they have the right licensing in place. You need to understand what you need and expect so that it is helpful for your company. Over, the solution is not bad. I'd rate the product eight out of ten. The product is okay. However, there are times when we struggle with local support.

I would advise that make sure that the use case for which they are trying to implement is strong enough because IBM App Connect is a pretty heavy software because the programming language is not a traditional programming language on which you have to code, and they need to train employees also for the same and how to get everybody on board. You really need to evaluate the use case and identify whether IBM App Connect is the right technology platform for the particular use case and then go for it. I would rate IBM App Connect a nine out of ten.
The solution is a good product in the integration space and a leader in the market. It allows integration with any applications and any code systems. Anyone in need of an integration tool should consider this product. I rate the solution an eight out of ten.
