"I don't believe the Salesforce has been fully utilized yet. It gives us quick engagement."

"In general, API governance provides a better experience for providers."
"This platform can be highly scalable."
"We loved the portal part the most, which had monetization and showed how people were using the stuff. It is a good product as a whole and has a lot of microservices and granular features."
"Layer7 API Management's availability on an on-premises deployment model, actually decreases the production time if its users have any issues at the server level."
"Almost all security features are available out-of-the-box and can be deployed rapidly."

"It would be great if they have an asset report. It's hard to get support for that."
"The API Mocking tools need to be improved."
"Areas of improvement include marketing and enhancing the data products area by using ETIs."
"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."
"This solution does have some limitations regarding the deployment model."
"The product shows a lack of maturity. The setup is difficult, the tech support and community are lacking, and it is not very stable."
"CA double up portal is a pain. It is something that we are struggling with right now."
"If they had different levels of support available then it would be easier to justify the costs."
"On the monitoring side, we need a better way to monitor it. CA has not given a clear understanding of what external tools we can use to do this."
"The CA API Management solution has good security features, but when it comes to being used in areas like enterprise integration, where it is being used as middleware for all the IT environments, that particular feature is quite limited. It doesn't support as many protocols as an industry standard, competing product should."
"The portal is not the most intuitive and the way things are displayed makes it difficult to find the information we need."
"As well as the SOA Gateway - that is, the API Gateway; we call it the SOA Gateway - we also are now deploying the developer portal component of the SOA Gateway. That has limitations."
"The UI design could be improved in the next release."
"There is room for improvement in terms of innovation and investment, especially when compared to other leading products in the market."
