IBM Cloud Pak for Integration Pros and Cons

The best quality of IBM Cloud Pak is that:

1. Its hastle free and easy to use than traditional integration tools.

2. UI and the transition/ working is really smooth.

3. Varies new features and customisable as well Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Overall it's good, there isn't any disadvantage work wise... But if somehow nodes gets disconnected or unavailable than reconnecting takes time. So connection should be good at first place. But it's less occuring issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the most about their API management. They are best in class used and known for their integrations. Another best thing is the ease of UI and its operation Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think they need to provide a good examples and steps to setup with the help of video tour and I think documentation should be a little easy Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Integration Options : Initially what made me stood out was it's ability to handle multiple integration styles. Weather it's about APIs or any event srteaming, it's versatility is impressive even this became a game-changer for my team when delaing with some complex integration cases.

User-Friendly : Although it look's complex in starting, but after a time interface feels quite intutive and navigating through platform is quite straightforward and anticipated.

API : Last but not the least it's API management tools are top-notch. Creating and managing APIs for me has really become hassel free now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Learning : For begineers, initial setup and understanding might look bit challanging but after a fair bit of time and some head scratching moments you will a pro.

Resources : It requires a decent amount of resources. Small business or business not equiped with a decent infrastructure, might find it bit sluggish.

Documentation : A lot of documentation, which is a good part but in daily work life sometimes it feels like finding a needle in haystack. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Like every other low code integration tools this makes the work done. But the speacialty here is everything on cloud and data transfer is very quick, it eliminated the need of integrating some third party Databases, messages brokers, log dashboards etc as we have ibm's own DB2, AS400 databases and IBM MQ which makes it more reliable and more secure.

Also its not like we have to pay a standard amount to entire package some of which we don't need, we can actually pay only certain products that we need here hence its cost effective. Actually it's flexibility of private and public cloud enablement made it easier for the application deployment. Last but not least it's AI powered hence saves time.

It's frequent releases and updates which makes us to work on our already finished work or API's.

Also CI CD should be enhanced Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Simplify hybrid data chaos,Complete fabric solution, instant on-prem & cloud agility.

easy for begineers also Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When using third-party services, users often cede some degree of control over their data, privacy, and security. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like the pre-build templates that easily help with intergation and especially because they dont require me to write any code Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Product updates take a lot of effort and are relatively slower than expected. Keeping in mind that CP4I offers file transfers at high speeds, updates should not take this long Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

the best thing about cp4i is the management of all IBM operators and user roles. CP4I gives you access to configure from handful of options such as MQ,APIC,IBM ACE, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

though the software is pretty heavy, it loads very slowly when there are plenty of integration servers running. rest things are okay. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's nice to use this without really having to code, and it really saves a lot of costs from a data storage perspective. It's very friendly when it comes to building your own applications. It easily integrates with our mainframe based components. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's a little complex with the administration in this platform which is typically the case with most IBM products in my opinion. The documentation is also a little hard to follow. The support to the customer isn't the greatest either as it is hard to get in touch for any issues or bugs encountered. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
