"The solution is very easy to work with."
"My company has a good impression of IBM DataPower Gateway. What I like about it is that because it's an appliance, it's a turnkey solution that's very fast and out of the box. Compared to other gateways, I also like that IBM DataPower Gateway is function-rich. For example, for one of the projects, there was a need for specific transformation and security features available in IBM DataPower Gateway out of the box, so my team just needed to configure the appliance. There was no need for separate development, and I found it quite neat. Another valuable feature of IBM DataPower Gateway is that it's easy to integrate with other products."
"Since it is a gateway, it provides a lot of security features."
"I like the tool's security. Also, all functionalities are integrated within on platform."
"It can look for the various security threats, productions, payload scanning, and perform routing based on the content type."
"The product is stable...The product is scalable."
"You don't have to have a separate DMC proxy because DataPower Gateway is an appliance and will take care of a lot of security features. These include data validations, encryption, as well as XML or any type of scripting or security threats that are present."
"The solution is useful for centralizing data."
"What I've been seeing as the most valuable characteristics of WebLogic Suite include robustness and scalability. It's a really good solution, and I'm not saying this because my company is a partner of WebLogic Suite. I also like that with the newer versions of the solution, you can deploy WebLogic Suite faster. Oracle also provides excellent technical support."
"WebLogic Suite is scalable."
"The product is reliable."
"The most valuable feature of WebLogic is it has excellent performance and stability compared to the previous solution we used."
"A valuable feature is its integration with Oracle Database."
"It integrates well with other solutions."
"It easily connects to other Oracle products and services."
"Traceability could be improved, especially for business operations. The traceability of the transactions could be an improvement point for DataPower to work on. It would be better if they provided JSON support. JSON protocol data has changed format. It started performing internal transformation to JSONx. This might be an additional complexity."
"Additional documentation needs to be provided for complex automations."
"In the next release, I would like to see the product price reduced. It should be cheaper."
"Some pre-packaged connectors for integration with various applications, such as SaaS offerings, would be a useful addition."
"We are always looking for more features wherein it could be easily integrated with cloud applications. We are looking for either a cloud solution or a cloud integration option."

"They should improve the solution's clustering features."
"They should add features to manage API integrations."
"The restart capability needs to be improved because it takes us 15 minutes to restart any application."
"I rate the scalability of WebLogic Suite an eight out of ten."
"The content search is not easy."
"Support could be better. The expertise when we have some Oracle WebLogic issues and challenges is not there. The issues are not being addressed in time. This really needs to be improved going forward."
"Lacking a solution for smaller applications."

"I would like to see the licensing policy simplified."
"There are sometimes issues with clusters."
