IBM Cloud Pak for Integration vs. Jitterbit

We are always working on improving our brand - good customer care and efficient services are the roads to that. By picking IBM's AI automation, we are able to coordinate and connect processes around the company to deliver efficient services on store and online on our website. We've been able to seamlessly automate and digitize most of our operations.

Small to medium sized companies are great prospects for this product. It's pretty easy to set up, learn and maintain. You can scale it too, so start with an easy integration, learn the ropes and expand your usage. If you have fairly simply needs for a handful of fields and just one or two external systems to feed into Salesforce, this is the go-to product. If you're a larger company needing more complex integrations where extremely high reliability is needed and any downtime means revenue loss, you probably already have a different product in mind. Then again, you probably have an entire team that handles integrations and a data warehouse to support it!

• Test generation gives useful insights into missing tests before launching the bots.
• Open API files helps us understand what is running behind the scenes.

• Ease of use - while being more technical is useful, you don't need to be a developer to use many of JItterbit's capabilities
• Customer Support - we have always had great responsiveness to any questions or issues encountered
• Reliability - Jitterbit has been extremely reliable with no major outages in the recent past

• Natural language processing needs more attention to have more flowing conversations.

• Some of the more advanced transformation possibilities aren't exactly clear without a lot of digging. Very basic connections (e.g. map this field to this field) along with basic transformation scripts (e.g. multiply X * Y) are super easy. But I know there are a ton more features and functionality that I feel is somewhat buried in the product

I have been evaluating other tools as a continuous improvement practice. I would like something that would be easier to use for a non-technical user. I work for a small organization and have no back-up for Jitterbit if something happens to me. We don't have the technically savvy employees to understand it.

They have some of the best support of any software vendor that we use. They always get our issues resolved quickly

Hands down, Jitterbit is more cost-effective than Informatica, either on-prem or cloud and the value only goes up from there. Reusability and ease of creation make in-house training simple and the end result is we leverage Jitterbit for much more than what we initially considered it for. Having used Oracle and TIBCO before as well, I find they are the tools of yesterday, not able to keep up in terms of functionality or price. Mulesoft would be a more relevant comparison, and I feel we lean on Mule far more than Jitterbit, but both tools have their place and their strengths (and weaknesses!).

• Achieving consistency across operations.
• IBM RPA provides bots to handle the micron tasks which are monotonous and boring.

• We moved from a product that was failing regularly (jobs were running long, some jobs would finish incomplete without any warning or info, etc) to Jitterbit - a very stable product if you give it the recommended server size it needs.
• It has made crafting solutions for data movement and transformation quick!
