We performed a comparison between Layer7 API Management and webMethods.io Integration based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two API Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."As an organization grow, you can use CA API Management for authentication purposes through the CA API Gateway. It allows for multiple identity providers with different Active Directories."
"Ease of use."
"It's pretty easy to use, and once we have templating set up we can add new APIs, at least through the gateway, and apply the security to them; it takes a minute."
"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."
"I appreciate Layer 7 API management for its comprehensive approach to the entire API lifecycle, including governance, management, and analytics."
"API Management makes dealing with APIs easier. It'll help you to move ahead on your API application journey. The solution allows developers to create more advanced security policies"
"One of the features that the tool provides is the ability to simply onboard new APIs to an existing security platform. We build all the policies for security upfront, and then we can add those policies pretty simply and straightforwardly to any new API that gets developed in the enterprise."
"This improved our organization, because it gives the management data to discuss for the next course of action and it suggests what to work on, as the next thing."
"There's hardware, software and application integration, providing hosting flexibility."
"The solution is scalable."
"Our use case is for integration factory for SAP. It is mostly for SAP integration."
"It's easy to construct new interfaces like apps and client portals."
"The connectivity that the tool provides, along with the functionalities needed for our company's business, are some of the beneficial aspects of the product."
"Oracle's self-service capabilities, of which we make extensive use, is the most valuable feature."
"I like the tool's scalability."
"There are old algorithms that the tool does not support - and it shouldn't, in my opinion. But sometimes customers need old algorithms, from old use cases and old applications, migrated to the platform. At those times, there are hiccups that happen."
"we cannot add gateways on the fly because there are a lot of moving parts; endpoint connectivity is one of them. If we add more nodes then the rate-limiting feature is affected. This kind of gateway always has the scalability issue. But, I think CA is coming up with its Microgateway, which is in Beta. If they stabilize their Microgateway platform, we could do very well in terms of scalability."
"Some users say that the API lacks some features and is lagging behind the competition although that has not been my personal experience."
"They need a multifactor authentication solution for the API layer and the other layers, as well."
"I would like to be able to see the publisher role be able to be organized within organizations, so somebody within that role can only manipulate their particular policies."
"There is room for improvement in terms of innovation and investment, especially when compared to other leading products in the market."
"More developer focused tools. They have a nice debugger inside of the program, but when you are developing code with their policies, it is tough to visualize that sometimes as a developer."
"Layer7 API Management’s price could be reduced."
"The product's stability is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"webMethods.io Integration's installation is complex. It should also improve integration and connectors."
"It is difficult to maintain."
"Rules engine processes and BPM processes should be improved."
"The solution's release management feature could be better."
"The products, at the moment, are new and there should perhaps be support for the older version of the protocols."
"I am not satisfied with the solution because it takes too much effort to migrate and add new information. The migration could be easier."
