eZintegrations vs. IBM App Connect

eZintegrations is a great cloud-based integration tool, which is well suited in scenarios where extremely fast and real-time integrations are required. It is a low-code platform, which is suitable to use when there is a limited technical expertise available in the organization. It can be used for building powerful visual mapping of the integrations created in real time.

- great when you need to integrate applications without any message lost or duplicated and when transnationality is important - if you need the highest throughput possible and not much (or not at all) mapping is required, a system like Kafka is more appropriate

• Easy to use
• No technical expertise required
• Extremely fast
• Low-code platform
• Hassle-free integrations

• Just the ability to display and consume data through a single dashboard makes this a great application for our business purposes.
• With the ability to consume their exposed API, data validation and manipulation becomes a breeze.

• The development and the transformation capability is not so great. I believe IBM is looking to incorporate some of features of IBM APP Connect into API Connect.
• The authentications features are no way close to CA API Management (f.k.a Laye r7).
• The development experience is not as good as Apigee's.
• The GUI should be improved. Maybe the product team should see the other API management tools in their offering.

It is the best on-premise application to cloud integration in the market. I guess IBM is planning to integrate IBM App Connect with the IBM API Connect solution.

You can do some really powerful things with this system. The overall design is an attempt to make configurable some of the routine tasks/common functionality, but allow for development/customization of the core of the application.

Support is good, however it takes longer than expected to get responses. When bugs are reported they often seem to fall into a black hole.

eZintegrations is better than the competition because nothing can beat it when it comes to ease of use and speed. The tool, unlike others, doesn't require any technical expertise and can be used by anyone without extreme IT skills. We have selected eZintegrations based on the quality of features that it has with real-time visual mapping dominating them all.

We did not select Cast Iron as our iPaaS solution, it was the weakest competitor in the field that we evaluated. Our experience was that it was not nearly as easy to learn, without in-depth training and guidance, and the developer UI was extremely buggy. We subjected each of the vendors to a battery of integrations, from simple to challenging, and it fell short on each one. One of the most simple integrations was grabbing a CSV file from an FTP source, parsing the data, doing a small amount of transformation, then inserting that data into an Azure MSSQL DB. After 2 hours on the phone with the Cast Iron support team, we were still unable to get this working.

• Helped us track our carrier location in real time
• Helped us issue and collect invoices automatically
• We have improved on route planning significantly through eZintegrations

• I don't see any negative Impact .
• I like using this tool to do my job.
• I am comfortable using this tool.
