"The price and the complexities attached to the solution are two areas of concern where improvements are required.""For fresh graduates and engineers, the setup process can be very difficult.""API Manager is not easy to scale because some of its components lack scalability.

Pricing varies with partners, so selecting the appropriate pricing can be challenging."
