We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable feature is the user-friendliness of the application.""We use IBM App Connect for the integration between the applications.""It can handle API conversions with mapping and transformation rules, simplifying the development process.""I would say that the most valuable feature is the array of connectors and integration tools.""It has an efficient design flow.""It's stable to use, connect with the cloud, and to deploy.""Very scalable, flexible, and user-friendly.""App Connect's best feature is that it can be deployed in a container."

"The most valuable feature of Matillion ETL is its ease of use. If you have had some experience with other solutions, such as Snowflake, the use of this solution will be simple.""The tool's middle-dimensional structure significantly simplifies obtaining the right data at the appropriate level. This feature makes deploying our applications easier since we utilize a single source without publishing data from various sources.""The most valuable feature of Matillion ETL is the UI experience in which you can drag and drop most of the transformation.""Matillion ETL has great Git integration that is perfect and convenient to use.""It is pretty user-friendly, even for people who aren't super technical.""The new version with the Productivity Cloud is very simple. It's easy to use, navigate, and understand.""Matillion ETL helps manage data movement, ingestion, and transformation through pipelines.""The product's initial setup phase was easy."

Cons
"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.""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.""IBM App Connect should improve security features.""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.""The installation of containers could be simplified, as it currently requires a senior-level installer.""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."

More IBM App Connect Cons →

"While the UI is good, it could be improved in its efficiency and made easier to use.""The cost of the solution is high and could be reduced.""Unlike Snowflake which automatically takes care of upgrading to the latest version and includes additional features, with Matillion ETL we need to do this ourselves.""To complete the pipeline, they might want to include some connectors which would put the data into different platforms. This would be helpful.""The current version is a bit more limited because it's on a virtual machine, and everything executes on that one virtual machine.""The tool's lineage is very weak.""The product must enhance its near-real-time data capture feature.""When using the SQL loader type there were not a lot of pre-processing features for the data. For example, if there is a table with twenty columns, but we only want to load ten columns. In that case, we can use a security script to select the specific columns needed. However, if we want to perform extensive pre-processing of the data, I faced some challenges with Matillion ETL. I did not encounter many challenges, but my overall experience is limited as I only have three years of experience."

  • "The price could be better."
  • "The licensing cost for IBM App Connect is very high."
  • "The cost depends upon the consumer."

  • "The prices needs to be lower."
  • "It was very easy to purchase through the AWS Marketplace, but it was also expensive."
  • "Purchasing it through the AWS Marketplace is pretty convenient. There is a little bit of back and forth in terms of the licensing based on the machine size, but it seems to have worked out well. it is convenient to have it all as part of our AWS billing."
  • "It is not necessarily a cheap solution. However, it's reasonable priced, especially with the smaller machines that we run it on."
  • "The AWS pricing and licensing are a cost-effective solution for data integration needs."
