We performed a comparison between IBM Cloud Pak for Integration and webMethods API Gateway based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two API Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most preferable aspect would be the elimination of the command, which was a significant improvement. In the past, it was a challenge, but now we can proceed smoothly with the implementation of our policies and everything is managed through JCP. It's still among the positive aspects, and it's a valuable feature."
"The most valuable aspect of the Cloud Pak, in general, is the flexibility that you have to use the product."
"Cloud Pak for Integration is definitely scalable. That is the most important criteria."
"It is a stable solution."
"This solution has given us a competitive advantage because we have better automation and insight."
"I like the solution's policies, transformation, mediation, and routing features."
"There were no complexities involved in the setup phase...The product is able to meet my company's API protection needs."
"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."
"The cloud version of the solution is very easy to set up."
"It's a good tool, and it has a stable messaging broker."
"In the API gateway, there is a new feature that allows us to filter logs within a payload. This has been a useful feature."
"What I like the most about the solution is that it comes with ready-made tools like handling security tokens and OAuth."
"Its queuing and messaging features need improvement."
"The initial setup is not easy."
"The pricing can be improved."
"Setting up Cloud Pak for Integration is relatively complex. It's not as easy because it has not yet been fully integrated. You still have some products that are still not containerized, so you still have to run them on a dedicated VM."
"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."
"The high price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"They should develop clear visibility for the onboarding."
"Understanding the overall architecture is difficult."
"With respect to the API gateway, the runtime component, the stability after a new release is something that can be improved."
"It is an expensive solution and not very suitable for smaller businesses."
"The price has room for improvement."
"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."
