Cons
"Areas of improvement include marketing and enhancing the data products area by using ETIs.""The product shows a lack of maturity. The setup is difficult, the tech support and community are lacking, and it is not very stable.""In terms of customer service, the company needs to be easier to contact, and the support team needs to understand the situation and the product itself better.""Sometimes we find bugs where certain calls are not returning all the data we need.""This solution does have some limitations regarding the deployment model.""The areas for enhancement should be improving certain filters within the solution. Although they are generally functional, there are occasional problems that could be more precisely adjusted. Additionally, the solution performs well within its workload limitations, but it may not be suitable for scaling up or managing a larger volume of transactions through the gateway. To address this, it may be necessary to adopt a unique architecture rather than relying on traditional pre-packaged options.""It would be great if they have an asset report. It's hard to get support for that.""The installation process is a bit complex and it could be a lot simpler."

"The improvement needed is related to the model's position. As of now, it seems to be more of a conceptual idea rather than a widely implemented solution. For how long""The on-premises setup can be difficult.""Some of the things that we use cannot be done in this solution. For these things, we have to either use a Java service or a util service. There is no predefined or existing service that we can use. So, we have to work on the util service and write on top of it. Its price can also be better. It is pretty costly because they charge us for each transmission."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The solution is expensive. When you acquire a license you have full access to the solution, unlike other competitors such as Apigee X, where there are fragmented licenses. Some licenses only allow access to certain features while others allow access to more features. Upon procuring this solution's license, you will have full access to the solution, allowing you to experiment with all of its features."
