"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."
"The Gateway can front our APIs very easily."
"There are a couple aspects of performance. One is just speed and uptime, and it's stellar in that regard. The other is, how much effort is it to put it in place in the first place, and then how much effort is it to keep it operational. That's where its real strength is. I'm able to do things quickly and easily that I couldn't do before."
"The most important features of Layer7 API Management are the basic security functionality and validation checks."
"Layer7 API Management's availability on an on-premises deployment model, actually decreases the production time if its users have any issues at the server level."

"The security, the authentication, and the publishing qualities are great."
"The initial setup isn't overly difficult."

"We have experienced technical difficulties with the product in the past."
"The portal is not the most intuitive and the way things are displayed makes it difficult to find the information we need."
"The developer portal needs to fully supported SOAP services (including WSDL publication with security), it would certainly push adoption for us."
"Layer7 API Management could improve by assing more portal-based capabilities."
"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."
"There is still room for improvement for the CA API Developer Portal. It is still not on par with what the competencies are."
"The development portal could be improved."
"The UI design could be improved in the next release."
"Oracle should actively seek feedback and tailor the approach to client needs. It shouldn't always be about pushing additional products."
"Before gaining experience with the product, I found that it was not simple to use and things took longer to do than I had anticipated."
"We'd like it if they could reduce the cost without sacrificing on features."
"From an administration and developer point of view, the user interface and user experience are not great."
