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."Initial setup is straightforward. It is simple and easy to do."
"Every API that we get from external or from internal goes through this layer first, and it should not be a bottleneck. That was the problem we had before. Now it's no longer a bottleneck. It's more like a throughput, this process is less than 10 milliseconds for any particular API."
"It is fairly stable for the Gateway side."
"When I have used technical support they helped me a lot. Sometimes they took a long time to respond because we had very complex issues that we asked them for help with, but I think it is a very good service."
"For developers to be able to come, sign up, or find APIs."
"Ease of use."
"I love the API Gateway, especially the architecture, in terms of the composability of the policies. We approach it from a very software-engineering approach.We build on the policies, like legal blocks, and we deploy them throughout different environments. It's been working out great for us."
"The most valuable feature is that it enables me to present data in the format that the client wants to consume it. That client might be a visualization tool, that client might be a report, that client might be a customer's API requirements."
"Oracle's self-service capabilities, of which we make extensive use, is the most valuable feature."
"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."
"There's hardware, software and application integration, providing hosting flexibility."
"It's easy to construct new interfaces like apps and client portals."
"I like the tool's scalability."
"The solution is scalable."
"Our use case is for integration factory for SAP. It is mostly for SAP integration."
"The interface should be improved."
"It needs better mobile features and HA configuration."
"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."
"Layer7 API Management should improve the quota policy for the number of API calls."
"They need a workflow for the API Developer Portal, where the process only allows requests to go to the correct person."
"The development toolkit used for creating APIs should be more online and user-friendly. Deployment and tracking could also be improved. Tools like Apigee provide a complete online experience along with RESTful APIs, to manage all activities. It is a very nice and user-friendly solution compared to CA."
"The entire lifecycle management approach needs improvement: from the API management, development, deployment, some of the settings around the quotas, and some security policy applications, etc. for the APIs. We found the Apigee platform a lot more robust in that area."
"One area where it certainly needs to improve is the way it allocates requests, in terms of rate limiting. Also, there is no native Kafka connectivity."
"The solution's release management feature could be better."
"Rules engine processes and BPM processes should be improved."
"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."
"I am not satisfied with the solution because it takes too much effort to migrate and add new information. The migration could be easier."
"The products, at the moment, are new and there should perhaps be support for the older version of the protocols."
"It is difficult to maintain."
