"The solution is robust."
"The solution is stable."
"I consider the solution to be one of the most stable in the market."
"The most valuable feature is the API integration."
"The solution offers good performance and is stable."
"The biggest advantage of this solution is that it is very easy to learn, and very easy to build applications."
"It's easy to develop things, and it's easy to handle."
"The product helps efficiently work with different connectors from different back-end systems."
"The interface is quite stable."
"The system's stability is the most valuable feature."
"They should improve the solution's clustering features."
"IBM DataPower Gateway is quite big for smaller organizations, looking at different types of clients who are virtually assisted in this, I would say it's not really a good product for smaller firms."
"For the workloads that are not too high, appliance is a little bit expensive."
"The initial setup isn't so easy, you need who has experience working with the solution to help."
"The product should be more adapted to the DevOps process."
"An area for improvement in IBM DataPower Gateway is its price point because it's a relatively expensive product. Sometimes, when the customer use case is just a very small subset of what's being offered in IBM DataPower Gateway, then the product can be expensive, making my company lose some of the opportunities because of the expensive pricing. A lower price point for IBM DataPower Gateway, even if that results in a less feature-rich version, would be appreciated. In terms of additional features that I'd like to see in the next release of IBM DataPower Gateway, nothing specific comes to mind because IBM constantly improves its standards and provides quarterly updates to the product, so it's quite fine."
"Scripting needs improvement. It's hard for our customers."
"In the next release, I would like to see the product price reduced. It should be cheaper."
"In terms of improvement, the UI should be more user-friendly."
"It provides all the features that are required for day-to-day work. So far, I haven't seen any major issues that impact our work. I have been told that IBM App Connect Enterprise, which is the next version of IIB, is really good. It is better than IIB, and it gives you more coverage in terms of application integration."
"It would be beneficial for it to function more as an iPaaS, with the runtime available in the cloud, potentially on platforms like AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud."
"IBM Integration Bus isn't particularly user-friendly and has a big learning curve."
"Licensing is too high. It is quite expensive."
"Storage capacity of the product should be addressed."
"Recently, there was a lot of instability when selecting the solution they needed for testing."
"IBM Integration Bus can improve JSON Schema validations. We don't have any kind of nodes that can support that kind of validation. If we want to containerize it by means of the docker's containers in the clouds, we are not able to manage it very well."
