"The functionalities on offer are very good."
"We are able to share those APIs instantly within the organization; even if we want to share it outside publicly, then we can have those capabilities."
"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."
"It is easy to use and stable."
"IBM API Connect is a reliable and scalable solution."
"The product gathers data to measure API performance."
"It's quite flexible and easy to deploy, especially for beginners. It has almost all the features that an API gateway should have."
"MuleSoft Anypoint Platform's most valuable features are its observability and stability."
"It is very easy to use for building connectors. It comes with a lot of connectors. For example, it has different adapters for NetSuite, which are very easy to use. It also has Salesforce connectors. The object store feature is also really easy to use. Mule Anypoint Platform is also good in terms of performance and how it is managed behind the scenes."
"The solution's deployment and proxy processes are very good."
"The most valuable feature is the variety of characters Anypoint Platform has. It is very scalable and customizable."
"Overall, it is a pretty good product. It is also very scalable."
"Customers can make use of Runtime Fabric, an RTF environment."
"Whenever we need some support in our local language, we get it easily. They also have an office in Germany and if a person is unable to contact them by phone, they can go to the office in person."
"We are very satisfied with the DevOps support."
"The administration of the user interface and the technical documentation are areas of concern in the solution where improvements are required."
"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."
"We ran it on top of the Kubernetes cluster, so it wasn't a standalone service. In the worst-case scenario, API Connect couldn't stay online if all the containers went down. We had to restart all the services. We shut down all the containers automatically one by one."
"The installation process could use improvement. I hope that in the next release, the installation process is easier."
"Firstly, the pricing model, when compared to other open sources, is high. Secondly, the availability of resources in the market, specifically the developers available in the market, is not so much."
"Automation for our Domino applications could be improved."
"There is room for improvement regarding the connectivity of the DevOps."
"The solution is overly complex."
"Technical support needs to be improved, especially when you need help with more technical aspects of the solution."
"The solution's pricing model is very strange, and it will be really expensive if you use APIs a lot."
"Adding connectors for new upcoming applications would add extra value to this product."
"An on-premise setup requires special skills and you need a lot of professional services."
"The runtime management and connectors could use some work and are vulnerable to breakage after upgrades."
"The cost of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required, especially when compared to other tools, like Dell Boomi or Oracle."
"Lacks intelligent management data and intelligent mappings."
"The terms of use and how it's priced has become very difficult to manage, which is forcing us to look for alternatives already - and we haven't even been using it for that long just yet."
