Cons
"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.""The product should improve its support.""The installation of containers could be simplified, as it currently requires a senior-level installer.""More connectors could be available for the product as some of the third-party software doesn't have default 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.""In the next release, I would like to get some quality connectors.""Plugins for the repositories are difficult to find.""The interface could be better."

More IBM App Connect Cons →

"The product must enhance the data quality.""The stability is good, but the performance is slower when I work on a huge amount of data.""I think they should drive toward AI and machine learning. They could include a machine-learning algorithm for the deduplication.""I would like to sync a project and do an upload from that current version, and then from GitLab, be able to download the latest one.""The solution's memory sometimes bottlenecks and that can be challenging.""We'd like to see more connectors it the future.""They lack in memory capacity.""The sales and market department could improve the Talend Data Management Platform."
