"In the API gateway, there is a new feature that allows us to filter logs within a payload. This has been a useful feature."
"I like the solution's policies, transformation, mediation, and routing features."
"Within the new version, webMethods API Gateway gives us an end-to-end lifecycle from the creation of the API up into the development, deployment, and promotion into production/live. The current end-to-end lifecycle of the API gives us enough authority and governance of the API. We know what are currently live services, what is in the testing stage of development, and what version that has been commissioned. So, the full life cycle itself gives us full authority and governance of the API."
"What I like the most about the solution is that it comes with ready-made tools like handling security tokens and OAuth."

"In terms of improvements, maybe on the API monetization side, having users able to create separate consumption plans and throttle all those consumption plans towards the run time could be better."
"The price has room for improvement."
"There are things that could be improved with the webMethods API gateway. One thing is that it's too attached to the integration service and we'd like it to be a little bit more independent. We would like for them to separate operations so that it doesn't rely on the bulky integration server and so that it can be used everywhere."
"With performance, there is room for improvement in regards to if we would like to put another extra layer of security on it, such as SSL. This is affecting their performance quite significantly. They need to improve the process of managing the SSL and other things inside their solutions, so there will not be quite such a significant impact to the performance."
"The high price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The configuring of the JWT token would be improved as it is a confusing process. We require more information on this part of the solution."
"With respect to the API gateway, the runtime component, the stability after a new release is something that can be improved."
"Understanding the overall architecture is difficult."
