FAVORABLE

“Robust Platform Balances Scalability with Installation and Monitoring Challenges”

4.0
Oct 13, 2025
IBM App Connect Enterprise is a very good and robust tool that efficiently fulfills its integration purpose, offering high reliability and performance. The main areas for improvement are in the documentation, which needs to be clearer and more detailed to accelerate the development. We also recommend expanding the functionalities of existing connectos and aincreasing the overall catalog of connectors. Despite these points, we are very satisfied with the platform.

CRITICAL

“Good product - intuitive programming model, lacking in validation and OAS support”

3.0
Nov 20, 2023
Support teams obfuscate issues and don't readily take ownership, the product itself is lacking in some capability areas, but ahead of the curve in others

IBM App Connect Likes & Dislikes

Like

What i like the most is the combination of scalability and flexibility. The tool Allows building efficiente flows using the low-code approach, while still enabling the integration of more complex, custom logic, with or without Java. Furthermore, the wide catalog of connectors for different platforms is a great benefit. IT's a complete platform for any level of integration.

Like

Fairly intuitive language model used throughout the product, looks like an enterprise tool

Like

Very product support from IBM, This product is very stable with lot of ESB features

Dislike

First, the server.level installation and configuration is overly complex and often requires infrastructure permissions outside the developer's scope. This creates a string dependency on others teams and ruins the agility. Second, the detailed traceability and monitoring of flows can be difficult to manage directly within ACE; a more seamless integration with internal tracing tools is needed. Third, the implementation of security policies at the development level is complicated. Simpler Options are required to manage security without solely relying on external gateways.

Dislike

Lack of conformance to basic standards e.g. SOAP, and lacklustre support for OAS v2.0 and v3.0 (not fully embracing the whole specification and poor implementation of validation policy)

Dislike

I do not have any thing to describe in negative way about this product
