What do you dislike most about this product?
I faced some error on temporary directory configuration. The application configured a temporary directory under OS Temp Folder. For some reason, the arcesb temp folder got removed from other cleanup process. The web app failed to load due to unavailability of this folder. I troubleshooted created a separeate temp folder outside of OS Temp Folder and updated in config file. This can be considered in future updates of arcesb.

What differentiates CData Arc from other similar products?
The workflow system is very intuitive, however once complex workflows are established it becomes hard to manage them. Comparing to other solutions it is very easy to get started on workflows with the advantage of being able to use the breadth of CDATA's connector system.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
Ease of creating simple workflows.
What do you dislike most about this product?
There is no facility to mass-update components unless you code to their API. The user interface looks slick but once you grow into it, becomes very hard to operate. Everything is file (and XML) based which is a chore in today's IT landscape. If you are not planning your workflows carefully it can become hard to change later without interruption.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Don't consider based on some simple POC type scenarios. How would this product work for you if you'd have to manage 100's of SFTP accounts. How would it work for you if there is this one customer that has to have a custom process in the middle of a workflow. ArcESB can do almost anything - that's why we opted for it but it can also cause you headaches if something needs to change due to internal requirements and you end up point and clicking in 100's of connectors.
Pros
- Reliable
- Trustworthy
- Efficient Service
