Cons
"IBM App Connect should improve security features.""The addition of string functionality would be a benefit, particularly in the ESQL space that IBM already uses internally.""When we do a version upgrade of the system, the platform is kind of complicated.""They reply in one or two hours at most, but they 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 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.""Plugins for the repositories are difficult to find.""Updates are constantly delayed."

More IBM App Connect Cons →

"Ultra Pipelines provides real-time ingestion but it needs some adjustment.""We'd like there to be more ways for users to get more comfortable and have more experience with the solution to make it easier to use.""They should expand in terms of features for SaaS-based market requirements in different sectors.""The support is the most important improvement they could make.""SnapLogic should have some inbuilt protocol mechanism in order to speed up.""The solution isn't ideal for complex processing or logic. We use another solution for that.""There is room for improvement with APM management and how task execution looks.""I would like to see more performance-related dashboards, ones that display the cost of a pipeline, for instance. Also, it would be helpful to have management dashboards for overseeing pipelines and connections."
