Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"API Connect is a good product, and everything works fine. All the analytics are good, and it is easy to follow up. I like it in that sense. I'm more focused on following up on analytics by seeing how many API calls we are getting and where we see a lot of problems. I was working on that API level.""Publishers can easily identify, create, and publish APIs on the developer portal, defining plans, packages, and potentially billing rules.""The solution is very scalable because it's on the cloud.""The capabilities are very good.""The most valuable features of IBM API Connect are its performance and user-friendliness.""It is quite stable. We've not had any problem. It has made for a good buy because we are finding that other companies that have similar set ups go down maybe once a month.""Security is well organized and managed within the solution.""The developer portal has been the most useful feature."

Cons
"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.""I would like to see automation of the installation. If there could be a single-click function where you could automate everything, that would be helpful.""They seem to have left out a feature for microservices and also a certification module for OIDC.""The integration of cloud-based services is where we're looking for improvement in this platform.""The developer portal could be easier to customize.""The solution could improve security and performance.""In terms of what needs improvement, some of the product documentation could be better.""We've had some issues upgrading to the latest version of the solution."

"The deployment was rather complicated.""TIBCO Cloud Integration is not a user-friendly tool when it comes to the installation phase or for maintaining the systems since its architecture is really complex.""Integrations could be better. Although integration is good, we have faced some block issues."
