It simplifies exposing our APIs externally and inherently adds a layer of security, which I see as a positive impact from the product.

Some of our other teams use an API traffic control mechanism such as rate limiting and throttling in 3scale API Management, but not us. We usually just use it for authentication, monitoring, and related functions.

To me, the most valuable feature of 3scale API Management is that it lets you add a backend to the product.

I also like that you can integrate it well with OpenShift clusters, making 3scale API Management a useful solution.

3scale API Management is a containerized product, so all its parts are deployed into containers, and standard deployment is very simple because it goes on the OpenShift. The solution can be deployed on-premises or cloud and their ability to make a standard deployment is very easy on OpenShift. The solution has easy deployment and standard deployment.

The solution is quite lightweight, and the installation is very easy. It's like a two-click installation. You install the operator, and then you simply create an API manager and boom, your environment is ready. The installation process is pretty good.

The gateway is the most valuable feature because it makes it possible for us to gather all traffic into one proxy, which is a good thing.

It also gives us the possibility of using different policies, but we haven't done that to a very big extent.

The comprehensiveness of Red Hat's API management is important, although we are only using a small part of it, the gateway part. I believe it is important and that we will utilize it even more.

One of the most valuable aspects of this solution for us is its ease of deployment. Also the fact that it's not adding a lot of features like ESP or similar features is good. It's okay with just being a gateway.
