We strategically decided to move all companies' data change with third parties. We control the Enterprise Service Bus platform. We also decided to change over to advanced systems to centralized management since we have several applications. We wanted a single point from which we could exchange data.

Reliable with good security and user-friendly
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
The security is very good.
It offers excellent reliability.
There is a friendly interface for configuration, and integration is made easy.
It can scale.
The solution is stable and reliable.
What needs improvement?
We have not used the solution for too long. I haven't noted any issues with the product so far. We're still discovering new features.
When we do a version upgrade of the system, the platform is kind of complicated. It would be ideal if it was easier to manage.
Sometimes we have issues with local support.
For how long have I used the solution?
I've been using the solution for one year or so.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I'd rate the stability nine out of ten. We've never had issues. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The solution is scalable. It's containerized. I'd rate the ability to scale eight or nine out of ten in terms of ease of expansion.
We only have administrators directly dealing with the solution, as it's for systems, not people. Administrators work with it on a daily basis.
How are customer service and support?
We have not dealt with technical support as we haven't had any issues.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We did previously use an open-source solution. We switched to ensure business continuity.
How was the initial setup?
We were lucky in that we good advice from local companies, so it was pretty easy for us to implement the product. I would rate the ease of implementation to eight out of ten. Overall, it was a good experience for us.
We're still on-premises with the ability to go hybrid.
The main deployment of the system or integration was straightforward. It was mainly implemented within two months, however, integration is a continuous process. With every new system or new function, we need to communicate that to the system. It's not possible to just lump everything together into one project. We're always renewing or installing or changing architecture.
What about the implementation team?
We did get some advice from a local company.
What was our ROI?
You need some time to realize an ROI.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The pricing is moderate. I'd rate the solution five out of ten. The licensing model is not bad. It's flexible. In time, you can allocate your licensing according to your different needs.
You need some competencies as the licensing can be a bit complex.
What other advice do I have?
We're customers and end-users. We're using the latest version of the solution.
I'd advise others to look carefully at licensing. Since it is a bit complex, they need to make sure they have the right licensing in place. You need to understand what you need and expect so that it is helpful for your company.
Over, the solution is not bad. I'd rate the product eight out of ten. The product is okay. However, there are times when we struggle with local support.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
On-premises
Excellent integration platform is easy to use and to implement.
What do you like best about the product?
One of the best available services to combine different business applications, whether in the cloud or on site. It also ensures the data is synced in real time after this. Another feature I wish to highlight is the API Development Function, in which you can construct simple APIs from the Interface to help manage the data flow. We can simplify our data transfer from one program to another and can also transfer our data in their compatible format. It can also be used for ESB API execution.
What do you dislike about the product?
For a long time I have been using this service and have seen its comparatively better performance than other similar services. It is also stable and handles unintended mistakes. Consequently, I have no concerns concerning its service. However, the service is still too costly and that is what I am most unhappy about.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
For automated transfer of data from other applications, I use IBM App Link. I use Waston and Salesforce very easily with their powerful AI too. We saved a lot of time after using IBM App Connect to maintain and manage the unified database, which was shared between different applications. Another is that we build APIs that we use to create simple APIs that allow us to handle the whole flow of data in these integrated applications.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I propose automatic transfers of data from multiple programs and your own records to be generated on an individual basis. It can also be used for Ipaas and ESB in addition to this. Any company with a wide variety of applications may use this program. It's quick for you for IBM App Connect. The setup is much simpler and much easier to use. You can also build simple APIs that simplify the whole data synchronization process and updating it in real time.

What do you dislike about the product?
Though UI is friendly, there is still some scope of improvement. The licence cost of this product is bit high.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have transferred data from on premise to cloud. What i observed is "The data transfer rate is quite good."
The best part is we had to focus only on the implementation part; other management and maintainance was taken care by IBM.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
A must use for companies who can manage to afford the licence cost.
Excellent cloud application
What do you like best about the product?
I like the way it helps us manage so many unique data sources, especially that I will also help with the sales force information. This makes us a more informed employer! We can better combine our internal systems and notice the whole from a more accurate perspective.
What do you dislike about the product?
The user interface has many things I wish to paint. It seems to be a bit complicated and I wish it were a simpler interface to control. Additionally, a higher and extra visualization could help a lot. The data may suggest additional loads to people with visualization!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have consolidated and changed our recognition to be more driven by facts. IBM App Connect is helping us bridge the gap between a couple of sources and top paintings.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is relatively a very necessary application and I would suggest it to any assistant; it is miles away and offers a few simply great features.
The best that E used in the years
What do you like best about the product?
During our evaluation, the support was quite good because they were willing to spend literally hours on the phone trying to work through some of our issues. Unfortunately, they were unable to resolve them all.
What do you dislike about the product?
The authentication features are not close to API management ca (f. k. a laye R7).
The development experience is not as good as that of Apigee.
The graphical interface needs improvement. Perhaps the product team should look at other API management tools in their offering.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
They are one of the market leaders in the Gartner report. Since it uses DataPower as a gateway, an organization that uses DP as a gateway can easily integrate IBM API Connect into their ecosystem. From my research, the cheapest version of a Cloud subscription is more [expensive] than Apigee. I think the cheapest for Apigee is around ~ 300-400 USD/month.
IBM App Connect Review: "IBM API Connect - Leaders in the API Management Space"
What do you like best about the product?
The most valuable feature for me is the availability of the adapters, which are already made out of the box. My customer then doesn't need to really spend a lot of time getting into production. You name it, SalesForce, or Ariba, whatever be the supporting products that we need to integrate to. It's just a matter of days to get it in production. That's the great part of it.
What do you dislike about the product?
The development and the transformation capability is not so great. I believe IBM is looking to incorporate some of the features of IBM App Connect into API Connect.
I think most critically our customers are asking for support. If I call within the next two hours, someone should be there at least on a call to support me. Support is the major thing. There have been a few instances when customers have come with complaints but all around, they're still happy.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Because it has a graphical developer interface, we can quickly develop solutions that are connecting to anything on the cloud, without having to build those connectors ourselves.
Whether it be a CRM, ERP or whatever you want to integrate with, customers get the integration projects done at least 40% ahead of time. That's a great benefit for them and for us.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's been very good. There were issues only because of its scalability, since we have the Hypervisor Edition, that we've run into some of the sizings that have impacts on the performance.
Give this one a try, especially the new IBM App Connect because it fits so well with the new design and the way it fits in with the new APIs. You can build out new APIs with it. I would say to use it.
