As it is a mature product, I don't see the need for a lot of improvements. The solution is increasing and bringing more and more areas of compliance into the picture. I think the tool is compliant to meet the standards, especially in terms of, health compliance, fintech compliance, or PCI compliance system by enterprise or API compliant. In the area of compliance, the tool is improving and getting more accelerators. The tool has been improving a few things, and making it better. I think that webMethods API Gateway is getting acquired by IBM. I don't see any challenges attached to the product. Lately, webMethods API Gateway got introduced as a separate product. Initially, there was a more web service approach, after which webMethods API Gateway moved to the REST approach to meet the industry standards, providing the product more flexibility. The high price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required.

Previously, we had some difficulties with end-to-end lifecycle management of APIs because the product was not yet mature enough. Two years ago, it was not yet mature in terms of the capabilities, which were still separated and not yet consolidated. There were several modules of webMethods API Gateway which needed to be consolidated into one webMethods API Gateway. Previously, they had two separate modules for API management as well as others. One of the improvements that need to be added into future releases is the ability to support other third-party monitoring tools. I know that they already support Jenkins, but in Mandiri. We use Bamboo for the deployment as well as part of Jenkins. We also install other monitoring tools, such as AppDynamics, for collecting information on performance and the problems of API Gateway hosting services. With performance, there is room for improvement in regards to if we would like to put another extra layer of security on it, such as SSL. This is affecting their performance quite significantly. They need to improve the process of managing the SSL and other things inside their solutions, so there will not be quite such a significant impact to the performance. With their API-Portal, you need to have flexibility when changing the layout and teams, giving more flexibility to rearrange and do some type of UX/UI that fits into your organization. The API-Portal that comes from Software AG has some of those limitations, with only certain parts that can be fully customized.
