"It's quite flexible and easy to deploy, especially for beginners. It has almost all the features that an API gateway should have."
"We really like the runtime capabilities of IBM API Connect. The creation of products and the control of the monetization and hit rate are some of the features which we've found very valuable."
"It acts as a central gateway for both external APIs and underlying systems. It's basically a central middleware for hosting APIs to the internet and consuming APIs from internal systems. It provides central governance for any APIs going outside the network, ensuring security and a common contract for API definitions."
"In-built policies and security functions."
"Easy to configure security and generate API keys."
"Our version supports containerized integration. I can write APIs, which can be moved into a testing environment without needing a forklift. It can check if APIs are compliant before moving them into production."
"Team management capabilities could be improved."
"Areas of improvement include marketing and enhancing the data products area by using ETIs."
"It would be great if they have an asset report. It's hard to get support for that."
"The areas for enhancement should be improving certain filters within the solution. Although they are generally functional, there are occasional problems that could be more precisely adjusted. Additionally, the solution performs well within its workload limitations, but it may not be suitable for scaling up or managing a larger volume of transactions through the gateway. To address this, it may be necessary to adopt a unique architecture rather than relying on traditional pre-packaged options."
"The portal still has room for improvement."
"The installation process is a bit complex and it could be a lot simpler."
"This solution does have some limitations regarding the deployment model."
"Sometimes we find bugs where certain calls are not returning all the data we need."
"Components, like caching, should be implemented as policies, not requiring dependency on an external solution."
"They seem to have left out a feature for microservices and also a certification module for OIDC."
"Different versions of the same thing can mean unnecessary duplication."
"The implementation process could benefit from improvements, as it may take some time to become accustomed to the deployment."
"The solution could improve security and performance."
"The only disadvantage I can see is that it requires heavy hardware support."
"The administration of the user interface and the technical documentation are areas of concern in the solution where improvements are required."
"The developer portal could be easier to customize."
