"In two years, there was one time the service was down for an hour or so."
"I do like the overall performance of the solution."
"Git integration"
"I find the generation of mock services very useful, especially when demonstrating for new consumers."
"The most valuable aspect of this solution for me has been the configuration-based UI. Once you get the hang of it, it enables you to easily develop an API. In addition, it has many in-built policies that are quite handy."
"This solution has given us a competitive advantage because we have better automation and insight."
"In the API gateway, there is a new feature that allows us to filter logs within a payload. This has been a useful feature."
"There were no complexities involved in the setup phase...The product is able to meet my company's API protection needs."
"The cloud version of the solution is very easy to set up."
"What I like the most about the solution is that it comes with ready-made tools like handling security tokens and OAuth."
"It's a good tool, and it has a stable messaging broker."
"The developer portal is a valuable feature."
"The Oracle release cycle is very bad because the patches only update once a year."
"Swagger (OpenAPI Specification) and Blueprint Support"
"I would like an integrated option to download a Swagger version of the definition."
"The configuring of the JWT token would be improved as it is a confusing process. We require more information on this part of the solution."
"In terms of improvements, maybe on the API monetization side, having users able to create separate consumption plans and throttle all those consumption plans towards the run time could be better."
"It is an expensive solution and not very suitable for smaller businesses."
"With respect to the API gateway, the runtime component, the stability after a new release is something that can be improved."
"They should develop clear visibility for the onboarding."
"There are things that could be improved with the webMethods API gateway. One thing is that it's too attached to the integration service and we'd like it to be a little bit more independent. We would like for them to separate operations so that it doesn't rely on the bulky integration server and so that it can be used everywhere."
"Understanding the overall architecture is difficult."
"With performance, there is room for improvement in regards to if we would like to put another extra layer of security on it, such as SSL. This is affecting their performance quite significantly. They need to improve the process of managing the SSL and other things inside their solutions, so there will not be quite such a significant impact to the performance."
