This tool was implemented to integrate several applications that business operates on different frameworks and technologies. The hability to connect easily distinct DB motors and includes the business logic in a mainframe was the key to select this software. <br><br>The information travels safe and keep its integrity, and with the correct analysis for the flows, is a great tool to provide fully and integrated connectivity
- Securely expose APIs to Intranet
- Connection with different DB
- Easy to verify the logic of the flows
- Documentation is not easy to find
- Complexity of the product which causes a learning curve
- Sometimes the system behaves unusually

"Swiss army knife" of the Integration world
Score 9 out of 10

We have hundreds of applications that need to exchange data with each other. It has to be safe (no message lost, no message duplicated) and secure. it has to be transactional. We need to be able to investigate later what was the initial message received, how was the mapping done, and what was the end message sent to the destination. We need also a robust error handling framework, capable of storing the error for long-term storage and retrieval and for immediate triggering of necessary alerts. We need also a robust routing capability so that a specific message received from one application could be easily routed to one or many other applications. We realize this via MQ PubSub and Publication node in AppConnect.
- Mapping through different formats
- Lots of different connectors available
- Flexible, allows you to be creative
- Documentation - Documentation for older versions of the product was more detailed, with more examples.
- Sometimes not very intuitive, you need a certain learning curve.
- Some concepts are difficult to grasp or explain, due to "legacy" reasons (e.g. when to use DFDL vs MRM?)

- We can integrate different applications in just few hours
- We can validate the received/sent messages
- We can monitor any error appeared in the flows
IBM App Connect started as MQSeries Integrator (MQSI) more than 20 years ago. In the IT environment, this is like an eternity. And this allowed a lot of customer experience and needs to be embedded in the product. Without it becoming a legacy application. The changes done in the latest version are preparing it for a Cloud/containers world without losing the previously learned knowledge.

Great for App connectivity
At my previous organization working for a web startup company, we had an application designed that consumed lots of web traffic and displayed extracted data in a meaningful manner. We decided to go with IBM App Connect to help aggregate data from our various apps into a single data store.
- 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.
- Due to the inherent complexity of the product, the learning curve for a beginner can be fairly steep.
- Since it's an enterprise scale offering, the pricing is towards the higher side.

- IBM App Connect has helped save us lots of time that was previously being spent on manual processes for data maintenance and management.

Lightweight Development
It is being used to develop enterprise wide integrations. You can quickly develop integrations between systems that are done in other software would take much longer and difficult to achieve.
- Integrations with systems.
- Data transformation.
- Batch processing.
- Documentation and support are not the best.

- Much faster development time.
- Easier to support once services are developed.
- Easy monitoring of processes through the management console.
Yes
No, bugs take forever to get fixed/resolved
when not understanding how to do something or why something is not working(user error not a bug)
- Routine/common tasks - scheduling, timing of processes, connecting to endpoints/common systems
- if you have needs to customize the standard functions, i.e. need to schedule a task on a different schedule than what the built in tasks can do
- Node programming, needs a bit of learning and practice
- new versions/upgrades can be buggy

IBM used the wrong Cast for this Iron... it is head and shoulders BELOW competition.
Cast Iron was one of many iPaaS solutions that we chose to evaluate to solve several integration problems we had across the business. This product was evaluated by myself and several of my colleagues but never brought into a production environment. The primary reason for us never bringing into production is the numerous issues we had just during the evaluation as well as the non-intuitive interfaces.
- During our evaluation the support was fairly good as they were willing to spend literally hours on the phone trying to work through some of our issues. Unfortunately, they were unable to resolve them all.
- The UI crashed constantly while trying to develop integrations.
- The UI was not nearly as intuitive as many of its competitors in the iPaaS space, which lead to a much larger learning curve.
- We never implemented Cast Iron in production. When compared to five competing products in the iPaaS space it didn't make it past the first few test scenarios we threw at it.
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.
