What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Scale
Stable product with efficient features for data transformation
What is our primary use case?
What needs improvement?
IBM App Connect should improve security features and have a faster mechanism than MuleSoft, which has better capabilities.
For how long have I used the solution?
We have been using IBM App Connect for eight years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The product's stability is good. However, we encounter issues with complex services. I rate its stability a seven out of ten.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
It is a scalable platform. I rate its scalability an eight and a half out of ten.
How are customer service and support?
The technical support services need improvement in terms of response time.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Neutral
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I have used MuleSoft before. Both products have similar capabilities. Large enterprises use App Connect more, while MuleSoft is more suitable for medium or small enterprises.
How was the initial setup?
The product's deployment for on-premise servers is easy. At the same time, it is tedious to deploy on clusters. We use the DevOps pipeline for on-cloud deployments. It takes a few seconds to complete the process.
What other advice do I have?
I rate IBM App Connect an eight out of ten. I recommend others for the product if you need to build highly scalable and secured services. In the case of services for enterprises with a high volume of APIs, I advise them to use the enterprise version of the product.

A highly scalable and user-friendly product that is easy to learn and install
What is our primary use case?
Currently, we are using the product as our central middleware. We are using it to eliminate all point connections and expose data centralized service hub for consumers.
How has it helped my organization?
It has optimized the service consumption of the consumers and improved the performance since it has a limited point-to-point connection between systems.
What is most valuable?
The most valuable feature is the user-friendliness of the application. It doesn't require deep technical expertise to consume the features.
What needs improvement?
The product should improve its support. Unlike other products like Microsoft, IBM does not have a community. The solution needs to work on community building.
The product serves its purpose and our future requirements. However, the product can provide additional connectors and database tables without impacting performance.
For how long have I used the solution?
We have been using this solution since 2020. So, it's almost three and a half years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It would rate the stability a ten out of ten. Once we configure the tool, it works by automation.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The solution is very scalable. I rate the scalability a ten out of ten. Around 10 to 15 people use the product in our organization. We use the product daily. The number of users depends on the volume of the services. When the business grows, the consumption volume will also grow.
How was the initial setup?
I rate the ease of initial setup an eight out of ten. The initial setup is complex if you are not familiar with it. Still, it is straightforward if you study the product and have proper training and knowledge of the development and features.
What about the implementation team?
We use an IBM-authorized partner to do the implementation. It took us around one month to deploy the solution. We don't need more than two people for deployment. It's a long and technical process that the supporting vendors do.
I'm not a technical person who works on the ground level. So I do not have the knowledge to explain the deployment process. We have an agreement with the support partner. They handle the maintenance.
What other advice do I have?
Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
On-premises
IBM App Connect the easy way to connect your infrastructure, apps and software in one easy place...
What do you like best about the product?
You can connect your applications in minutes, whether they are on the cloud or a private network, and with minimum coding experience needed. Easy to assimilate and get going from the off.
What do you dislike about the product?
I found that you do need some degree of skills within the softwar space to fully utilise the integration solutions that are provided by the app / product. Obvioulsy this even more meaningful if you want to use the API flows.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It allows us to take out the complexity of some of our current setups and get the hardware, software and applications intergrated under one single place. This helps ease management and resourcing of the infrastructure space.
