"Security is well organized and managed within the solution."
"API Connect's data gateway is one of the strongest in the market."
"It is a complete all-in-one solution."
"Since it runs on top of Datapower, all Datapower based custom policies can be utilized and exported to API connect but its not straightforward/simple process."
"This is a very easy to use solution."
"It allows enterprises to expose some of their tech to outside stakeholders."
"This solution is ready to scale and already supports our agile CICD."
"Improved our speed to bring our mobile applications into productive use in a cost-effective way."
"The dashboard provides pretty good clarity."
"The most valuable feature is the data synchronization, or the push and pull of the data."
"SAP Cloud Platform's most valuable features are its exhaustiveness, scalability with minimum maintenance, and functionality."
"It's suitable for various sizes of companies. I have used it with big companies and with small ones as well."
"Great Integration Suite, with CPI being its stable component."
"The solution has a lot of great features."
"Though I'm not a massive fan of the SAP Cloud Platform, it has good features, such as its integration with other SAP solutions. When integrating with SAP or even the SAP sister company SuccessFactors and other companies SAP has acquired, you also enjoy data features in the SAP Cloud Platform, such as role-based permissions and other characteristics you can import from SAP."
"API Connect's analytics subsystem could be improved to make it easier to render content from the analytics system and offload it to an external database."
"Components, like caching, should be implemented as policies, not requiring dependency on an external solution."

"The implementation process could benefit from improvements, as it may take some time to become accustomed to the deployment."
"Our main pain points are in these two areas: creating a better developer portal and improving stability in terms of synchronization and monetization."

"I'd like to see more local integration."
"I want to see better pricing from the SAP Cloud Platform in the future. I also want more security and scalability from it."
"What I would like to see improved is the learning curve."
"The price of the solution could improve."
"While it was good for a small entity, it was not ideal for a large enterprise."
"The solution requires more flexibility overall."
"I can’t speak to features that may be missing."
"It would be helpful to have additional samples for SoapUI that include interface methodologies and templates."
