Cons
"An awesome improvement would be big data solutions, for example, implementing some kind of business intelligence or neural networks for artificial intelligence.""Co>Operating System would be improved with more integrations for less well-known technologies."

More Ab Initio Co>Operating System Cons →

"In the next release, I would like to get some quality connectors.""When we do a version upgrade of the system, the platform is kind of complicated.""The setup time for App Connect could be improved.""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.""The interface could be better.""More connectors could be available for the product as some of the third-party software doesn't have default connectors.""IBM App Connect should improve security features.""The installation of containers could be simplified, as it currently requires a senior-level installer."
