Cons
"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.""Updates are constantly delayed.""The addition of string functionality would be a benefit, particularly in the ESQL space that IBM already uses internally.""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 installation of containers could be simplified, as it currently requires a senior-level installer.""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 interface could be better."

"TIBCO Cloud Integration is not a user-friendly tool when it comes to the installation phase or for maintaining the systems since its architecture is really complex.""The deployment was rather complicated.""Integrations could be better. Although integration is good, we have faced some block issues."
