Clearly, the [IBM Cloud Managed Istio] tool is very useful when you have multiple services and each service is connecting with other services through APIs in different networks. To manage this type of complex network, [IBM Cloud Managed Istio] is very useful. It comes with a license that can increase the billing of your project so make sure if your application network mesh, monitoring cannot be managed on your own then you can use it. If your application is not very complex then you have many tools available like Grafana, Prometheus, Sumo Logic, which you can integrate individually with your cluster and implement. In this type of scenario, it is better to not use [IBM Cloud Managed Istio] and it will serve your purpose as well.

  • The drag-and-drop interface, as well as SAP regular improvements to its pre-packaged content, are also excellent features.
  • The security features (such as the cloud connection for sending data to the local system, as well as encryption and scrambling) are really beneficial.
  • Unlike other tools I've tested, the SAP connectivity package offers access to third-party cloud apps.
  • Prototyping may be completed more quickly, and the team can determine whether or not to proceed with the integration depending on the feedback process.

I selected it because its now one of the best thing to do and to work. As we are currently working from home it makes the work easy and comfortable and yet the main usage will be in office the environment created will be simple. The UI logic is based on some calculations which will rely on some natural intuations of mind and when it comes to mind it is easy.

Return on Investment
IBM
  • It reduced the complexity of network mesh (ingress/egress services).
  • One tool with many solutions. No need to integrate monitoring tools or notification tools.
  • It reduced the number of lines of YAML code.
  • It reduced the number of labor hours.

  • In the long run will enable us to undeploy our on premise solution
  • As long as integration suite doesn't support all capabilities PO has complete migration is hard
  • Will probably be cheaper than our on premise solution when we are completely migrated
