Provides robust security features, protecting against various threats and securing XML and SQL and simple setup
The initial setup is very simple. The deployment is both on-premise and cloud. There are not many challenges in configuring or using it. It has both software and appliance capabilities, so it's up to you how you use it. If you want to customize HCL or HCL disk configurations on the appliance, there might be some challenges, but otherwise not. Whenever there's a custom requirement, they release patches. Newer versions of the appliances always have updated features, so security compliance is taken care of. We do not integrate directly with AI, but APIs that are executed through the gateway can be integrated with AI on the backend. It depends on how the backend has been integrated, as the gateway itself only protects endpoints.

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"IBM DataPower Gateway is quite expensive to get resources to work on this product. If the price could be cheaper, I think that will make it a little bit better and easily accessible to smaller clients. Then it could compete with other solutions that are available in the market. There's a whole lot of other solutions available that work well and are cheaper than IBM's products."
"This product is a bit expensive as IBM products are costly assets. However, for enterprise customers it is a worthwhile investment."
"It is an expensive solution."
"The total cost of IBM DataPower Gateway would depend on the configuration, but in my experience, it can amount to 60,000 Euros per box, even for the virtual version. Usually, customers need high availability and a non-production environment, so the total price for IBM DataPower Gateway can be quite a lot. It can be 200,000 Euros or a similar figure."
"The product is expensive."
"The solution has a return on investment but is a little expensive."
"As far as I know, they have a perpetual license for this product. They are paying perpetual fees rather than an annual subscription or annual pricing."
"The appliance is a bit on the expensive side for the workloads that are not too high."
