"The documentation is great; it is always up to date and well-presented."

"The initial setup was straightforward."
"It is a good management tool for controlling purposes."

"Its queuing and messaging features need improvement."
"The pricing can be improved."
"The initial setup is not easy."
"Monetization and cataloging can be improved."
"Their analytics needs a lot of improvement. It's really lacking right now."

"Anypoint could be improved by making it more open and configurable for small companies, who tend not to consider the solution as it's expensive and requires a lot of costs upfront."
"To improve Anypoint API Manager for the next release, it should focus on better consumption scalability, especially for smaller APIs."
