"The solution provides a common place for all APIs, allowing for easy sharing and exchange of information between internal and external stakeholders."
"The most valuable feature is the security we get from this solution. I know of a bank that uses it to ensure that everything is secure. The second feature I like is the retail environment, where we actually want to be able to provide as many suppliers and consumers with APIs as possible. If you are well-trained in the writing of RESTful API's, you can actually publish an API in a matter of minutes, test it, and publish it."
"The support is good and active. I rate the technical support a nine out of ten."
"I have found the API Management to be most valuable."
"The most valuable features of the solution stem from the fact that it is very easy to use and is something that is easily configurable."

"The integration of an API gateway that implements the sidecar pattern, which can be deployed in cloud applications, and expose the microservices directly in each pod, this can be more decentralized components."
"It would be nice to have a SaaS solution that can be deployed into the cloud."
"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."
"The solution is not scalable."
"Components, like caching, should be implemented as policies, not requiring dependency on an external solution."
"The developmental process is not quite user-friendly."
"There is room for improvement regarding the connectivity of the DevOps."
"The solution is overly complex."
"From an administration and developer point of view, the user interface and user experience are not great."
