The application helps in connecting different applications with each other. The development path is very similar to legacy programming language. Has great monitoring capabilities. IBM provides decent customer support too. The major issue here is that it is pricy compared to other products in the market.

    Oct 2, 2025
    The experience has been very good both in theory and in practice. We have managed to upgrade to version 13.0.3.1-r1 with all the customization we had in the company with a previous version. The experience has been very good and I am happy to learn more about the containerized versions of IBM App Connect (ACE).

Like

Integration Connectors

Dislike

The design is less intuitive; the user experience should be improved, considering it's now intended not only for developers but also for businesses. The learning curve is very steep. The documentation can be extensive and scattered.

Automated Translation from Spanish
Dislike

The cost of the product too high compared to the other providers of similar technologies

Dislike

I had a difficult time finding a solid recommendation against using logs in the console pod OCP for ACE, but rather ELK.
