There needs to be more security available on terms of the way we publish them."

"The product needs to introduce a developer portal."
"It can be quite complex, somewhat lacking in flexibility."
"They're trying to implement versioning and trying to be able to manage different versions of your API all at the same time, but they're not doing that just quite right yet."
"In terms of improvement, it would be helpful if they could develop an on-premises option."
"The cloud deployment performance could be better."
