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."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 product's most valuable features are AAA policies and security features."
"What I like most is the stability."
"The solution is scalable, our customers are mostly South African banks and they handle mostly transactions with this solution."
"The solution is stable."
"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."
"It can look for the various security threats, productions, payload scanning, and perform routing based on the content type."
"It is very easy to set up and configure, even for users with no prior experience."
"The connectivity that the tool provides, along with the functionalities needed for our company's business, are some of the beneficial aspects of the product."
"There's hardware, software and application integration, providing hosting flexibility."
"I like the tool's scalability."
"Oracle's self-service capabilities, of which we make extensive use, is the most valuable feature."
"The solution is scalable."
"It's easy to construct new interfaces like apps and client portals."
"Our use case is for integration factory for SAP. It is mostly for SAP integration."
"An area for improvement in IBM DataPower Gateway is its price point because it's a relatively expensive product. Sometimes, when the customer use case is just a very small subset of what's being offered in IBM DataPower Gateway, then the product can be expensive, making my company lose some of the opportunities because of the expensive pricing. A lower price point for IBM DataPower Gateway, even if that results in a less feature-rich version, would be appreciated. In terms of additional features that I'd like to see in the next release of IBM DataPower Gateway, nothing specific comes to mind because IBM constantly improves its standards and provides quarterly updates to the product, so it's quite fine."
"Some pre-packaged connectors for integration with various applications, such as SaaS offerings, would be a useful addition."
"They should add features to manage API integrations."
"The programming language is only supported in XSLT and Gateway script."
"I would like the tool to improve its training."
"IBM DataPower Gateway is quite big for smaller organizations, looking at different types of clients who are virtually assisted in this, I would say it's not really a good product for smaller firms."
"The initial setup isn't so easy, you need who has experience working with the solution to help."
"The product should be more adapted to the DevOps process."
"I am not satisfied with the solution because it takes too much effort to migrate and add new information. The migration could be easier."
"Rules engine processes and BPM processes should be improved."
"It is difficult to maintain."
"webMethods.io Integration's installation is complex. It should also improve integration and connectors."
"The products, at the moment, are new and there should perhaps be support for the older version of the protocols."
"The product's stability is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The solution's release management feature could be better."
