"One of the most valuable features is the easy-to-use web interface."
"The gateway is the most valuable aspect of this solution."
"The capabilities are very good."
"IBM API Connect is a reliable and scalable solution."
"We really like the runtime capabilities of IBM API Connect. The creation of products and the control of the monetization and hit rate are some of the features which we've found very valuable."
"It is quite stable. We've not had any problem. It has made for a good buy because we are finding that other companies that have similar set ups go down maybe once a month."
"One of the best features of this solution is that it is web-based and you can log in and work on it from anywhere."
"The HANA replications are very useful."
"We primarily utilize SAP's ERP capabilities."
"The product improved our company's business operations since we got value out of it."
"It's suitable for various sizes of companies. I have used it with big companies and with small ones as well."
"The ability to build custom applications on the BTP platform, reducing customization on the SAP HANA system and improving performance and management."
"I found flexibility most valuable in the SAP Cloud Platform. It's a simple tool that's good even for first-time users."
"The entire SAP ecosystem is a valuable feature. It provides access to SAP S/4HANA, ACG systems, and their Fiori launchpad, making it easy to navigate between them. This makes the enterprise very accessible."
"I would like to see support for non-Java based services. We struggle a bit to be able to deploy and connect our .NET services because of things like data types. We had to map a couple of things. For one solution provider, we had to move them to .NET Core before we could use it properly. I would like to see more agnostic tool service platforms rather than moving it more towards Java or open source."
"The only disadvantage I can see is that it requires heavy hardware support."
"IBM API Connect could improve the security of the application and the integration."
"The administration of the user interface and the technical documentation are areas of concern in the solution where improvements are required."

"Support for this platform could still be improved. It also needs to have more levels of versatility. Its compatibility and integration with different platforms also need improvement."
"The initial setup and installation could be easier."
"They seem to have left out a feature for microservices and also a certification module for OIDC."
"The addition of more industry use cases would be an improvement."
"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."
"The product could be improved for consistent user interfaces."
"I'd like to see more local integration."
"What I would like to see improved is the learning curve."
"I would like for it to have integration to GitHub."
"The price of the solution could improve."
"I've observed a few bugs in SAP. One recent bug I found in Content Modifier is that when using a predefined header to call the current date, it prints the previous date. These are small bugs I found."
