Cons
"When we do a version upgrade of the system, the platform is kind of complicated.""Plugins for the repositories are difficult to find.""The setup time for App Connect could be improved.""Updates are constantly delayed.""IBM App Connect is scalable. From the administration side, they need to improve the RBAC model, as well as the clustering of this product. It will be good if we can start up the cluster, via IBM Connect Console. Some other products like MuleSoft, are providing this type of administration. MuleSoft is easy to use and user friendly.""More connectors could be available for the product as some of the third-party software doesn't have default connectors.""They reply in one or two hours at most, but they could be better.""IBM needs to enhance and have a stronger offering for the event streaming part because this is the future needed for the containerization and the new integration requirement."

More IBM App Connect Cons →

"The improvement area could be possible if the tool provides better integration capabilities with other ecosystems, including governance tools or data cataloging tools, as it is currently an area where the solution is lacking.""While the UI is good, it could be improved in its efficiency and made easier to use.""I found some of the more complex aspects of ETL challenging, but I grasped the concepts fairly quickly.""The tool's lineage is very weak.""Our main challenge currently is that Matillion runs on an EC2 instance, limiting us to running only two processes simultaneously at the entry level.""It can have multi-environment support. We should be able to deploy it in different environments. Its integration with SAP connection is not so nice, which should be improved. It can also support an on-prem database.""The cost of the solution is high and could be reduced.""Performance can be improved for efficiency, and it can be made faster."
