Find out in this report how the two Cloud Data Integration solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I would say that the most valuable feature is the array of connectors and integration tools."
"It can handle API conversions with mapping and transformation rules, simplifying the development process."
"When using IBM stacks, IBM App Connect is suitable and integrates well with other IBM products like WebSphere."
"The solution is fast and supports Open UI 3.0 certification."
"Very scalable, flexible, and user-friendly."
"It's stable to use, connect with the cloud, and to deploy."
"It's a powerful application for collaboration. It has many features for customization and integration."
"It has an efficient design flow."
"It is very easy to use. It takes complex workloads away, and it provides very smooth integration. It has got a lot of out-of-the-box connectors. It has got a lot of out-of-the-box APIs, which makes it really easy to integrate with applications for different use cases, whether it is in finance, HR, or customer operations. It is by far our favorite integration product."
"The most valuable features are easy integration, quick tab to develop, quick tab to market, and interactive integration platform."
"It is easier to use than other technical open-source technologies."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Their automation and workflows are very strong, and you can build the workflows very easily and quickly."
"Workato is low code, intuitive, and easy to use."
"It's easy to understand, makes flows and is efficient."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"They reply in one or two hours at most, but they could be better."
"The setup time for App Connect could be improved."
"Updates are constantly delayed."

"When we do a version upgrade of the system, the platform is kind of complicated."
"The only minor drawback would be if there was a UI at the front of it, for apps and for a portal as well, it would make it really easy. It would be really useful if there were more apps capabilities."
"A limitation is that their cloud presence is only in North America and Europe."
"I would like to see the dashboarding and reporting processes improved."
"Workato's Extract, transform, and load (ETL) and extract, load, and transform (ELT) are not very strong and could be improved for very complex transformations."
"From the deployment point of view, our customers encounter platform downtime where it does not serve the actual request on the systems."
"It is tedious to make a tailor-fit function."
"The management dashboard in the solution is an area with shortcomings that needs improvement."
