Likelihood to Recommend - 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

It is great for companies or people that are using software that is mainstream and would like to extend the capability of that software with added features. Also great for companies that use more than 1 software and need to have them interact with each other to make them more efficient Great for companies that need to automate functions that are repetitive throughout the organization Read full review Pros 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. Read full review Pabbly (Magnet Brains LLC)
Connect software applications that are not already integrated or connected Automate processes within a single software Transform data and then using that data across different software applications Read full review Cons 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.

The trigger action needs improvement The method of connecting different software also needs to be simplified The actions for some software applications need to have more capability (things that can be done between different software) Read full review Likelihood to Renew 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.

Usability 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 Rating 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.

Alternatives Considered 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.

Most platforms do one thing well so you are limited to that one thing. And then those platforms add some functionality later, plus most systems don't have native integration between other systems. From our experience, Pabbly Plus was birthed by connecting different platforms/software so it works well in that regard. It is also easier than most systems as most other platforms charge a premium for integration systems, where as Pabbly doesn't.
