"The best that E used in the years"

4/5

What do you like best about IBM App Connect?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IBM App Connect?

The authentication features are not close to API management like CA (formerly known as Layer 7).

The development experience is not as good as Apigee's.

The graphical interface needs to be improved. Maybe the product team should look at other API management tools in their offering. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is IBM App Connect 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.

"Good support but many failures"

3/5

What do you like best about IBM App Connect?

During our evaluation, the support was quite good, as they were willing to spend literally hours on the phone trying to solve some of our problems. Unfortunately, they couldn't solve them all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IBM App Connect?

The user interface was not as intuitive as many of its competitors in the iPaaS space, leading to a much larger learning curve and it constantly crashed when trying to develop integrations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering IBM App Connect:

I recommend using the IBM connection application if you want to collect data from all sources or if you are working on such a project when you need to handle more than one live stream in real time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Cast Iron was one of the many iPaaS solutions we decided to evaluate to solve several integration problems we had in the business. This product was evaluated by myself and several of my colleagues, but I never introduced it into a production environment. The main reason we never went into production is the numerous issues we had just during the evaluation, as well as the non-intuitive interfaces. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"IBM App Connect Review: "IBM API Connect - Leaders in the API Management Space""

4/5

What do you like best about IBM App Connect?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IBM App Connect?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering IBM App Connect:

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is IBM App Connect 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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
