"The most valuable feature is the user-friendliness of the application."
"When using IBM stacks, IBM App Connect is suitable and integrates well with other IBM products like WebSphere."
"There is a friendly interface for configuration, and integration is made easy."
"It has an efficient design flow."
"Provides good security features."
"I would say that the most valuable feature is the array of connectors and integration tools."
"Very scalable, flexible, and user-friendly."
"It has improved our organization a lot because of the increase in productivity, and it has simplified the development of products. MuleSoft Anypoint Platform is a highly effective tool where you can build integrations so effectively. If you establish the integration platform, it increases productivity. It helps us to do effective re-authentication, and it speeds the integration."
"The product is very user-friendly."
"MuleSoft Anypoint Platform's most valuable features are its observability and stability."
"The most valuable feature is their integrations and very good API management."
"The tool is very capable and offers a high performance. The tool supports batch processing and ETL processing."
"The product’s ability to seamlessly translate protocols is great."
"The monitoring capabilities of this product are very good because of the feedback it supplies in statistics."
"The integration potential is excellent."
"IBM App Connect should improve security features."
"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 connectors could be available for the product as some of the third-party software doesn't have default connectors."
"The product should improve its support."
"The installation of containers could be simplified, as it currently requires a senior-level installer."
"In the next release, I would like to get some quality connectors."
"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."
"They reply in one or two hours at most, but they could be better."
"Technical support needs to be improved, especially when you need help with more technical aspects of the solution."
"Better documentation, in particular with respect to the initial setup, would be helpful."
"Although the solution's proxy design and process are good, it faces connecting issues because it lacks data integration."
"The solution is very expensive. They need to work on the pricing."
"The compatibility with vendors can be improved. Microsoft Azure heavily uses single software."
"It would be better if we had a clearer view of the solution's future releases."
"It has different types of subscriptions. For platinum or lower subscriptions, there are not too many things that can be done. We don't see many features. They should release a basic version that has logging and monitoring features. These features should come with Mule Anypoint Platform for free instead of making customers pay separately for these features. Its dashboard can be improved to have a lot of charts so that it is easy to visualize information. The utilization part can be improved. The dashboard is good currently, but it can be better. Other solutions like Elastic have a good dashboard, and they allow you to administer the product from the UI. Currently, for RTF, there is a different dashboard or utility. It would be good to include the same utility in the cloud solution. It would be good if there is a centralized repository that includes the links to the information about various troubleshooting issues. The documentation is there currently, and it is good, but the troubleshooting information is too scattered. We have to go to different links to find troubleshooting information. This kind of centralized repository would be helpful for new customers who are implementing this solution. It will be helpful to see different kinds of issues that can occur."
"The platform's data integration tools need improvement on the processing side."
