"Swis army knife" in the world of enterprise integration
What do you like best about the product?
I can map any data format to any data format. There are also a multitude of connectors (not only the expected usual ones like file, database, MQ, JMS) but also more exotic ones (e.g. LDAP or different CloudVendors). There are also multiple ways to solve one problem, you can use different ones based on your knowledge.
What do you dislike about the product?
Learning curve, product is very powerfull but you need to be carefull to use the correct capabilities (e.g. MRM or DFDL).

Quick integration between (very) different applications. Trying to cover business requirements as soon as possible, with reasonable costs.
Good product that supports multiple protocols, formats
What do you like best about the product?
1. Support for different formats using DFDL. If you compare with Boomi or MuleSoft, IBM App connect is the best
2. Different ways of logging data [ log4j, custom exception handling, event monitoring etc]
3. Ability to process huge files irrespective of size using MQ and File combinations [like making use of grouping, segementation concept of MQ]
4. Easy configuration using yaml file [server conf yaml or node conf yaml]
5. There is a feature in the tool to generate automatic documentation which can sever as LLD. This will be more effective when the developer adds the details of the functionality in each of the nodes which can be turned into a documentation in few seconds

What do you dislike about the product?
1. Support for API analytics and API management is not present. This is where MuleSoft has gain momentum and has taken over the market. for IBM one has to rely on IBM API Connect which is a separate product
2. The documentation sometimes does not include any details or misses details which takes lot of time in implementing that feature or debugging issue related to that feature
3. Licensing cost is more compared to other products

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Cost is not just the only factor to buy a product.
1) If your company is specifically focused on only API stuff, this may not be the right product as you might have to rely on combination of ACE and API connect to get your requirements fulfilled
2) If your company is focused on ease of development, and support for different formats (CSV, XML, JSON, fixed-length, Tagged delimited etc.) then go for this ACE product. All custom formats can be easily built using DFDL with no extra cost. Industry-specific formats like EDI, HL7 etc are available at a premium price for any product.
3) One also needs to consider the development cost, maintenance cost, ease of development and enhancements needed
