"The administration tool for this solution is good."
"The best feature of Axway Amplify API Management is its exceptional level of security, which is highly reassuring, coupled with its remarkable capacity to handle substantial volumes of data in impressively efficient turnaround times."

"The installation process is a bit complex and it could be a lot simpler."
"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."
"Team management capabilities could 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."
"Sometimes we find bugs where certain calls are not returning all the data we need."
"It would be great if they have an asset report. It's hard to get support for that."
"One area that could be improved is the integration with Postgres and SQL databases. Currently, IBM DataPower Gateway only integrates with Oracle databases."
"Traceability could be improved, especially for business operations. The traceability of the transactions could be an improvement point for DataPower to work on. It would be better if they provided JSON support. JSON protocol data has changed format. It started performing internal transformation to JSONx. This might be an additional complexity."
"In the next release, I would like to see the product price reduced. It should be cheaper."
"The user interface or the application development perspective and customization of the tool could be a little better."
"Scripting needs improvement. It's hard for our customers."
"The components that they include in the product that are, in fact, a WTX, really need to be removed from the product because they tend to fail."
"The initial setup isn't so easy, you need who has experience working with the solution to help."
"Some pre-packaged connectors for integration with various applications, such as SaaS offerings, would be a useful addition."
