"My company has a good impression of IBM DataPower Gateway. What I like about it is that because it's an appliance, it's a turnkey solution that's very fast and out of the box. Compared to other gateways, I also like that IBM DataPower Gateway is function-rich. For example, for one of the projects, there was a need for specific transformation and security features available in IBM DataPower Gateway out of the box, so my team just needed to configure the appliance. There was no need for separate development, and I found it quite neat. Another valuable feature of IBM DataPower Gateway is that it's easy to integrate with other products."

"The WebCenter Content is its most valuable feature. After we update a document in WebCenter Content, it can be update automatically in our intranet."
"Integration within the solution is very good."
"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."
"They should improve the solution's clustering features."
"Some pre-packaged connectors for integration with various applications, such as SaaS offerings, would be a useful addition."
"Its support services could be better."
"The two biggest issues of this solution are the complexity and the maintenance procedures."
"The product's cost for data appliances or hardware is quite high. It needs improvement."

"Does not seem to be totally compatible with Windows 10 as of our current version."

"The speed of the backup should be enhanced."
"WebCenter requires a lot of design effort to upload content to our regular system."
"The solution should be offered in Persian. Right now, our version is in English, and there's a bit of a language barrier between the users and the product."
