More connectors could be available for the product as some of the third-party software doesn't have default connectors.

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.

IBM App Connect should improve security features and have a faster mechanism than MuleSoft, which has better capabilities.

We have not used the solution for too long. I haven't noted any issues with the product so far. We're still discovering new features. When we do a version upgrade of the system, the platform is kind of complicated. It would be ideal if it was easier to manage. Sometimes we have issues with local support.

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. So a little bit on the user interfaces or how it looks like and how it can be perceived by a developer. Right now I believe that the command line integration tool is a separate tool for IBM App Connect. If I want to access items and work through the command line interface, I have to open up a separate one, I forgot the tool, and command line interface's name, but I need to open a separate tool and use that. But probably a native command line integration in IBM App Connect, which can help us validate our POCs or our code. That would be an interesting feature to have within the IBM App Connect product.

Plugins for the repositories are a little difficult to find. It requires some information in the toolkit and if there were some links, options, or search buttons that would simplify things. I would like to have some predefined plugins built-in to App Connect with a list to choose from because some people use SVN, some use GitHub, and others use Bitbucket. The solution has a DFU mode which IBM states can easily be seen in the variables. It's not that easy to see and is lacking definition. When you're testing the code, you test it with the tool, but you also test the flow that you've created in the tool kit and see the values and what has been created in between the flows. I would want to see it presented in a more defined manner so that it's easy to view while you are debugging. I'd like to have more visibility when testing and debugging the code.

The addition of string functionality would be a benefit, particularly in the ESQL space that IBM already uses internally. If you have non-unique elements but need unique elements, you must write code. For example, Java provides one function for obtaining unique values.

In the next release, I would like to get some quality connectors. With the configuration of MuleSoft, they have multiple connectors if you're going with the quicker stuff. There's IBM Professional and IBM Enterprise solution. IBM Professional will have all the connector things, but I'm expecting that to be included on-premise as well. IBM should be competitive on the third party cloud side of integration so that we can do the development quickly. It would also be very useful for the cost effectiveness of project development.

The installation of containers could be simplified, as it currently requires a senior-level installer. In the next release, I would like it to be integrated with lifecycle management.
