"The API Connect gateway service and the SQL injection feature is good."
"It integrates well with various servers."
"The main assets are its flow language, debugging, and Broker. Flow language is far better and more flexible for debugging."
"The comprehensiveness and depth of Integration Servers' connectors to packaged apps and custom apps is unlimited. They have a connector for everything. If they don't, you can build it yourself. Or oftentimes, if there is value for other customers as well, you can talk with webMethods about creating a new adapter for you."
"A product with good API and EDI components."
"From a user perspective, the feature which I like the most about Integration Server is its designer."
"I feel comfortable using this product with its ease of building interfaces for developers. This is a better integration tool for integrating with various applications like Oracle, Salesforce, mainframes, etc. It works fine in the integration of legacy software as well."

"Its support services could be better."
"It is a costly product."
"The product should be more adapted to the DevOps process."
"Some pre-packaged connectors for integration with various applications, such as SaaS offerings, would be a useful addition."
"One area that could be improved is the integration with Postgres and SQL databases. Currently, IBM DataPower Gateway only integrates with Oracle databases."
"Making it more user-friendly would be an improvement."
"The Software AG Designer could be more memory-efficient or CPU-efficient so that we can use it with middle-spec hardware."
"This product has too many gaps. You find them after update installations. This should be covered by automatic testing."

"This is a great solution and the vendor could improve the marketing of the solution to be able to reach more clients."
"We got the product via a reseller, and the support from the reseller has been less than desirable."

"I would like to have a dashboard where I can see all of the communication between components and the configuration."
"Technical support is an area where they can improve."
