"It is a stable product."
"Security is the most important parameter of the solution, for me, because whenever you are exposing your APIs to third-parties, it is critical that the data remains anonymous and that data is retained within the system, that it is not leaked. CA API Management provides good security features."
"Simple to use and easy to develop APIs."
"It is fairly stable for the Gateway side."
"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."
"Ease of use."
"The Portal API helps us with deployments. It also helps to have a catalog of everything. The replication is also a critical feature for us. It helps to have a more robust architecture and makes our systems are highly available."
"Team management capabilities could be improved."
"This solution does have some limitations regarding the deployment model."
"Areas of improvement include marketing and enhancing the data products area by using ETIs."

"The installation process is a bit complex and it could be a lot simpler."
"Sometimes we find bugs where certain calls are not returning all the data we need."
"The API Mocking tools need to be improved."
"The product shows a lack of maturity. The setup is difficult, the tech support and community are lacking, and it is not very stable."
"If they had different levels of support available then it would be easier to justify the costs."
"The UI design could be improved in the next release."
"The overall cost of Layer7 API Management is high, they can improve it by making it less expensive."
"The Portal lacks maturity. Since the move from Portal 3.x to 4.x, a lot of features were removed. It is slowly coming back. I can see a lot of changes are done in the "background" to decouple components and make it more flexible. Those changes are just not getting to the UI side quick enough."
"The OTK, however, is a complex upgrade. They tend to change the schemas on the database behind it, between the versions, which can be a pain to have to migrate all of our existing clients from one database schema to the other."
"The developer portal needs to fully supported SOAP services (including WSDL publication with security), it would certainly push adoption for us."
"Some problems with response time."
"feel like Apigee's API product is more interactive. You can drag and drop with those, but it's a little more difficult in Layer7. It's less user-friendly compared to that Apigee product."
