They should also provide guided documentation for every configuration, like GCP does on the right-hand side, which would be helpful for beginners, provide a proper labs to get intract with new user. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is IBM App Connect solving and how is that benefiting you?

Its solve a problem to automate your work flow by just drag and drop option but at configuration level you just need a high level of automation knowledge , In my case i used this plaform to only automate a mailChamp which help me to schedule and automate the process of mail.

What do you like best about IBM App Connect?

The best about IBM app connect is to distributed our workload in multiple message flows, when the message needs to go through multiple hops and multiple downstream systems, the visual feel of the message flows improves readibility and understading the hops the message is taking in the system. The logging framework based of Pub/Sub event monitoring is also really easy to use and implement. The developer doesn't have to do extra efforts to do the logging in the code itself.

The support team team are also really helpful, also depending on the priority of the issue and the activity done on the client end, I have observed that they do join the issue calls rather quickly, and try to resolve the issue. Also the TAM (Technical Account manager) before any big activity do ask us to open a ticket as a place holder so that we can engage the support team quickly, and shared the scripts that need to be run in case things go south. This level of support is always appreciated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IBM App Connect?

I feel there's a lack of out of the box connectors although you can use the the Rest api, http nodes to connect to service with http api available, the other is that the lack of builtin security features such as encrypting/signing the payloads, although this can be achieved using java but it has it's own cost to the jvm heap. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is IBM App Connect solving and how is that benefiting you?

The problem that it is solving is when we have to send heterogenous messages to multiple downstream systems, and it also acts a touch point for all the traffic entering our eco system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about IBM App Connect?

I have worked on multiple integration platforms since I started working on IBM ACE. I am really surprised that ACE provides low code and provides much community support on multiple problems. As ACE provides connectors to integrate any integration business solution using a variety of nodes which are very easy to use and implement with the help of supported documentation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IBM App Connect?

As per my experience, IBM App Connect lacks while tracing any server since there are some memory leakage issues that limit customer support and require a workaround by the developers. The frequent use of a debugger also highlighted some issues regarding threads deadlocking in different Operating Systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is IBM App Connect solving and how is that benefiting you?

IBM ACE is solving the microservices architecture and benefitting me in implementing customer's change requests after the delivery as well without any big hassle of packaging the developed solution again. Since the product helps us build asynchronous flows for avoiding delays by third parties. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
