Find out in this report how the two Integration Platform as a Service (iPaaS) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The management of the API and API portal is good."
"Publishers can easily identify, create, and publish APIs on the developer portal, defining plans, packages, and potentially billing rules."
"This is a very easy to use solution."
"WSRR is a powerful component for getting the endpoints."
"I have found the API Management to be most valuable."
"It's quite flexible and easy to deploy, especially for beginners. It has almost all the features that an API gateway should have."
"Since it runs on top of Datapower, all Datapower based custom policies can be utilized and exported to API connect but its not straightforward/simple process."
"The statistics component is easy to use."
"One of the best features of this solution is that it is web-based and you can log in and work on it from anywhere."
"It is a stable solution, as I never encountered issues when using it."
"The most valuable features of SAP Cloud Platform are security integration and scalability."
"Improved our speed to bring our mobile applications into productive use in a cost-effective way."
"The pre-delivered content from the SAP cloud platform is definitely a strength."
"The mapping transformation allows us to connect our on-premise ECC to the cloud system."
"To be able to define multiple sub accounts in order to accommodate and separate development, test, and productive environments."
"Great Integration Suite, with CPI being its stable component."
"It would be helpful to have access monitoring."
"The platform’s integration with the payment gateway needs enhancement. The setup process and support services could be improved."
"They seem to have left out a feature for microservices and also a certification module for OIDC."
"One thing about API Connect that could be improved is the security schemes. There are so many security schemes, and from a product perspective, IBM could improve the user experience of the configuration security scheme."
"The design time setup has a lot of customizable fields, but we need certain standard fields to be added, such as what all of the consuming systems are. This needs to be very clearly articulated during the design time."
"The developmental process is not quite user-friendly."
"The automation and the simplicity could be improved."
"In the next version, I don't know if they've already been included it or not, but the designer and all the tools should be on the cloud. I don't want any external installation or local installation."
"The areas I think this solution should improve are monitoring and adapting."
"I would like for it to have integration to GitHub."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
"SAP Cloud Platform's installation is not straightforward. You need a person with knowledge to handle it."
"The solution requires more flexibility overall."
"In person, when the development happens, we were told that it's flexible and customizable. However, sometimes, it's challenging to customize."
"Speaking about the public cloud, it's a very rigid system. So, there is not a lot of customization possible in a public cloud environment."
"The main problem is that there aren't any easy migrations from SAP PO to SAP CPI, so from process orchestration to cloud platform integration."
