We are using API Connect for approx. 10 months. It has been (and still is) a very stony road. We are now considering another solution.
My findings w.r.t to API Connect:
Pros:
- Concept of catalogs is useful (for us) w.r.t. dealing with several tenants.
- When it is running, it looks very stable.
Cons:
- Installation and updates were a nightmare each time. We use OpenShift; and we had problems for up to three weeks for an update, including support from IBM. We cannot afford that in production, which leads to investigations on our side.
- Small amount of policies, compared to some of the competitors. In the current version, a "map" is not supported (according to IBM).
- No debugging of the flow.
- High footprint of pods and resources, compared to an alternative.

Features: Users of both products are happy with their flexibility, stability, and...
