"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."
"One area that could be improved is the integration with Postgres and SQL databases. Currently, IBM DataPower Gateway only integrates with Oracle databases."
"Some pre-packaged connectors for integration with various applications, such as SaaS offerings, would be a useful addition."

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."
"The EPA, from what I understand, lacks a lot of features and it doesn't really know how to interface with legacy systems or how to develop APIs for legacy systems."
