"The centralized management: this provides a management module that can deploy and apply security policies to all APIs, including all the gateways that are deployed on-premises and on any cloud because the gateway component can run at a VMware or in a Kubernetes cluster."
"This solution is ready to scale and already supports our agile CICD."
"Our version supports containerized integration. I can write APIs, which can be moved into a testing environment without needing a forklift. It can check if APIs are compliant before moving them into production."
"API Connect's most valuable feature is its ability to act as a gateway. It's very easy to configure security and everything else in it. You don't have to kill yourself implementing custom configurations."
"The ability for all of our web applications to share standard functions and documents easily is valuable."
"The most valuable feature of IBM API Connect is the security of the protocol."

"It should be cheaper."
"We would have more capability to interact with the catalog and inventories, so a more DevOps-friendly solution is needed."
"The developmental process is not quite user-friendly."
"API Connect's analytics subsystem could be improved to make it easier to render content from the analytics system and offload it to an external database."

"I would like the ability to offer a dedicated cloud version for security."
"Sometimes we experience disconnections and I have to close all Jitterbit programs."
"You need to have some development skills or hire a Jitterbit engineer to make changes."
"I know with Salesforce updating the UI like they did, it slowed it down a lot."
"Sometimes additional connectors are needed."
"There were some bugs in the product. For example if you run a delete query and test, it deletes the actual data."
