Find out in this report how the two Integration Platform as a Service (iPaaS) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The capabilities are very good."
"API Connect is a very good platform for the development of APIs."
"What's best about IBM API Connect is the excellent administration. The development tool that builds the API is also very simple, and user-friendly, and it doesn't consume too much time. Another valuable feature in IBM API Connect is its good reporting feature, particularly for operations, but the most valuable feature of the solution for the customer is security. IBM API Connect provides a DMZ and a security gateway between the external and internal environment, so you can publish your API safely. IBM API Connect can also integrate with any tool or middleware that works on open standards without the need for development or coding, so integration with the solution is easier."
"API Connect's data gateway is one of the strongest in the market."
"The solution provides a common place for all APIs, allowing for easy sharing and exchange of information between internal and external stakeholders."
"The management of the API and API portal is good."
"We are able to share those APIs instantly within the organization; even if we want to share it outside publicly, then we can have those capabilities."
"The most valuable features are stability and security."
"The ability to expand it whenever required has been great — it's very simple."
"Great Integration Suite, with CPI being its stable component."
"The dashboard provides pretty good clarity."
"The most valuable features of the SAP Cloud Platform are the extensions and integrations. Additionally, there are a lot of AI-based microservices."
"The ability to build custom applications on the BTP platform, reducing customization on the SAP HANA system and improving performance and management."
"The solution can scale."
"We primarily utilize SAP's ERP capabilities."
"The product captures data in real time."
"The new version is very unstable."
"We've had some issues upgrading to the latest version of the solution."
"They seem to have left out a feature for microservices and also a certification module for OIDC."
"Extracting the data could be improved."
"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."
"The administration of the user interface and the technical documentation are areas of concern in the solution where improvements are required."
"The design time setup has a lot of customizable fields, but we need certain standard fields to be added, such as what all of the consuming systems are. This needs to be very clearly articulated during the design time."
"The installation process could use improvement. I hope that in the next release, the installation process is easier."
"The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
"Lacks flexibility in its licensing structure."
"Better connectivity to on-premise systems would help us to support older systems that are migrating to the cloud."
"It would be helpful to have additional samples for SoapUI that include interface methodologies and templates."
"The areas I think this solution should improve are monitoring and adapting."
"Shows errors without providing any analysis."
"Speaking about the public cloud, it's a very rigid system. So, there is not a lot of customization possible in a public cloud environment."
