"I like the tool's security. Also, all functionalities are integrated within on platform."
"Support for PCA and non-PCA services is valuable."
"The most valuable features for our business include the ability to monitor and log data transactions and handle multiple request at an enterprise level."
"It is easy to use, easy to install, and it's resilient for high availability."
"My company has a good impression of IBM DataPower Gateway. What I like about it is that because it's an appliance, it's a turnkey solution that's very fast and out of the box. Compared to other gateways, I also like that IBM DataPower Gateway is function-rich. For example, for one of the projects, there was a need for specific transformation and security features available in IBM DataPower Gateway out of the box, so my team just needed to configure the appliance. There was no need for separate development, and I found it quite neat. Another valuable feature of IBM DataPower Gateway is that it's easy to integrate with other products."
"The solution is very easy to work with."
"The product's most valuable features are AAA policies and security features."
"Oracle's APIP CS is a platform capable for consistently covering the complete API Lifecycle from design to retirement, supporting an API-first approach."
"The Gateways are communicating with a Management Service, which lives in the Cloud, to send usage information or to fetch changes for the deployed APIs."
"The solution is stable."
"I find the customizable dashboards convenient. When you have a privatized dashboard, it's easy to log in, get an immediate snapshot of what's happening, and quickly address any problems."
"Oracle API Platform Cloud Service's UI is quite user-friendly and supports a hybrid deployment model."
"All API usage is now governed and tracked."
"The most valuable features are the easy integration with the Oracle cloud, and that it's easy to use."
"It is a costly product."
"An area for improvement in IBM DataPower Gateway is its price point because it's a relatively expensive product. Sometimes, when the customer use case is just a very small subset of what's being offered in IBM DataPower Gateway, then the product can be expensive, making my company lose some of the opportunities because of the expensive pricing. A lower price point for IBM DataPower Gateway, even if that results in a less feature-rich version, would be appreciated. In terms of additional features that I'd like to see in the next release of IBM DataPower Gateway, nothing specific comes to mind because IBM constantly improves its standards and provides quarterly updates to the product, so it's quite fine."
"The components that they include in the product that are, in fact, a WTX, really need to be removed from the product because they tend to fail."
"They should improve the solution's clustering features."
"Its support services could be better."
"For the workloads that are not too high, appliance is a little bit expensive."
"The initial setup isn't so easy, you need who has experience working with the solution to help."
"The user interface or the application development perspective and customization of the tool could be a little better."
"There should be closer integration between the API Platform Cloud Service and the Identity Cloud Service to allow IDCS Applications, protecting backend systems, to be linked to the API Applications that consumers use to access APIs."
"Oracle API Platform Cloud Service provides an API documentation tool, which is quite outdated."
"I would like to see enhanced support for SOAP Service and the corresponding WS-Security policies."
"Even when an API is functioning correctly, there seems to be a glitch within OCI (Oracle Cloud Infrastructure)."
"In the next release, I would like to see more security policies and for it to include an on-cloud gateway."
"The solution's cost in terms of scaling could be better."
