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."The solution is fast and supports Open UI 3.0 certification."
"We use IBM App Connect for the integration between the applications."
"The most valuable feature is the user-friendliness of the application."
"It's a powerful application for collaboration. It has many features for customization and integration."
"It can handle API conversions with mapping and transformation rules, simplifying the development process."
"Very scalable, flexible, and user-friendly."
"Provides good security features."
"I like the adapters. The adapters help us achieve scalability. If you want to connect to SAP, there's an adapter. Salesforce? There's an adapter. You want to connect to another system? There's likely an adapter for that."
"It can scale."
"The ability to define multi-tiered APIs and reuse them is a fantastic platform feature."
"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 flexibility has been great overall."
"It is very easy to use for building connectors. It comes with a lot of connectors. For example, it has different adapters for NetSuite, which are very easy to use. It also has Salesforce connectors. The object store feature is also really easy to use. Mule Anypoint Platform is also good in terms of performance and how it is managed behind the scenes."
"The monitoring capabilities of this product are very good because of the feedback it supplies in statistics."
"The most valuable feature is their integrations and very good API management."
"Mule works very well with Salesforce and CRMs."
"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."
"In the next release, I would like to get some quality connectors."
"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."
"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."
"The product should improve its support."
"They reply in one or two hours at most, but they could be better."
"The setup time for App Connect could be improved."
"There is not much information on the internet...The transforming message is an area in the solution that needs to be improved."
"I would like to see some data integration and automation."
"Mule Anypoint Platform is complex for beginners. Users without programming skills will find it complex. It should also improve its pricing."
"The inclusion of GenAI in the tool can be good since it is an area that is currently unavailable in the solution."
"The cost of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required, especially when compared to other tools, like Dell Boomi or Oracle."
"Its documentation needed a little bit of work to make it more usable. It is a platform that is used mainly by developers and other people for connecting systems. Its documentation was confusing in some areas and was not very helpful in other areas. I had to go to a consultant to get some work done, which ideally shouldn't be required."
"The solution is very expensive. They need to work on the pricing."
"This becomes an expensive solution over time."
