"When we do a version upgrade of the system, the platform is kind of complicated."
"In the next release, I would like to get some quality connectors."
"Plugins for the repositories are difficult to find."
"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."
"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."

"The solution is quite expensive."
"It is not easy to set up and configure the tool."
"The scalability is tough."
"IEDC can improve the comparison of lineages."
