"The tool supports gRPC."
"Currently, we're using this solution for the integration server which helps us to integrate with the mainframe."
"High throughput and excellent scalability."
"The solution has a very comprehensive and versatile set of connectors. I've been able to utilize it for multiple, different mechanisms. We do a lot of SaaS and we do have IoT devices and the solution is comprehensive in those areas."
