We performed a comparison between IBM App Connect and Informatica Cloud Data 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."
"It has an efficient design flow."
"It has different type of interfaces that can integrate with companies."
"Provides good security features."
"Technical support is good."
"Very scalable, flexible, and user-friendly."
"The solution is fast and supports Open UI 3.0 certification."
"It's a powerful application for collaboration. It has many features for customization and integration."
"The mass ingestion functionality and the elasticity of the solution are great."
"It has all the advantages of the Cloud in that you can use it without worrying about infrastructure, upkeep, or upgrades."
"Their new licensing is very flexible. With Informatica Cloud, you have plenty of items under the same umbrella, such as services, offerings, data quality, and data masking. You have also got master data management and API management. What I really like about them is that you don't need to go to Informatica and say that you need a data integration module. You would say that you need iPaaS or Informatica Cloud. They'll then try to understand your needs and give you IPUs, which are the processing units. If I purchased a hundred IPUs from Informatica as a customer, I can use 70 IPUs for data integration. I would also need data quality, so I can use 10 IPUs for data quality. I can use the remaining 20 IPUs for API management. Down the line, if I see that my initial data integration needs for the development phase are met, then out of the 70 IPUs assigned for data integration, I can use 30 IPUs for data masking. I can shuffle these numbers in any way within the Informatica Cloud umbrella for the tenure for which I have subscribed to these IPUs. I can use all services the way I want. This flexibility is what I really love about Informatica. It also has got good connectors."
"Informatica Cloud Data Integration is stable."
"We have a lot of integrations, and it's very easy to create integrations. They have a lot of connectors."
"I like the fact that you can find almost any product connection that you need and the list is always expanding."
"The serverless capability and the packaging application of the solution are valuable."
"The program is stable and scalable."
"When we do a version upgrade of the system, the platform is kind of complicated."
"IBM App Connect should improve security features."
"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 product should improve its support."
"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."
"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."
"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 could be improved by including a buffer that saves data when there is a connectivity issue."
"The price modeling could be more flexible."
"I would like to see support for more data sources."
"One area where Informatica Cloud Data Integration could improve is in providing more accelerators for certain functionalities."
"There may be some types of limitations with the performance."
"The integration process is not easy."
"The cloud version of the Informatica, it's a very substandard product. They might say it's enterprise-ready but it's not at all ready. They need to add more features, such as improved data replication features. If you look at other tools, such as Matillion they are now cloud-native and flexible. Additionally, Informatica Cloud Data Integration should have a good migration strategy from Informatica PowerCenter to Informatica Cloud Data Integration."
"While my company operates on the cloud, we have seen that Informatica Cloud Data Integration has some performance issues causing it to lag."
