It's too early to compute for Layer7 API Management ROI. I need a few more months before calculating the ROI.

We see clear ROI with this solution.

We haven't seen ROI from their gateway solution, other than protecting us from vulnerabilities. In that regard, it's kind of hard to monetize things. We have definitely benefited with cost savings from some of CA's other products.

For the business case that we have, we would have made no money on this within the first 36 months. We would probably have started seeing return on investment when there was traction in the developer community for our APIs. Once we would have a couple of good implementations with the e-commerce companies, then we'd see a return on investment.

I also feel that from a resource-reduction and right-sizing perspective, eventually we would be able to bring that down a little bit because we would need internal product teams to be that active in the long-term.

The solution helped us to quickly publish and monetize APIs. I have used versioning responses to publish or send APIs to different customers with different versions.

You can imagine that we are in a gem mine. It costs money to supply the equipment and then we can get 45 gems. It's difficult to know the ROI until you get the gems out.

Most of my customers have been able to see an ROI.

We are the vendor and we implemented it for clients. We do not use it for ourselves. We are not aware of the ROI.
