"Support for PCA and non-PCA services is valuable."
"The solution is straightforward and for large organizations, it functions well."
"The solution is very easy to work with."
"The most valuable features for our business include the ability to monitor and log data transactions and handle multiple request at an enterprise level."
"The solution is robust."
"Its initial setup was straightforward."
"It is very easy to set up and configure, even for users with no prior experience."
"The solution basically conforms to our standards."
"I like the user-friendly system and development of the service-oriented architecture."
"Currently, I find the configuration part quite valuable, where you can easily configure things."
"The installation process is easy."
"The solution has two main parts: integration and transformation. It's very user-friendly and easy to understand for everyone."
"The customer service executives are very responsive."
"It was mostly easy to set up the product."
"It's a very complete product. It allows us to network security and add more layers of security to the system."
"Making it more user-friendly would be an improvement."
"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."
"Some pre-packaged connectors for integration with various applications, such as SaaS offerings, would be a useful addition."
"The solution requires a lot of training manuals in order to get to know it better and to be able to use it effectively."
"In the next release, I would like to see the product price reduced. It should be cheaper."
"The user interface or the application development perspective and customization of the tool could be a little better."
"The initial setup isn't so easy, you need who has experience working with the solution to help."
"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."
"One of the reasons that we are looking for a replacement is their way of defining integration. The language of the XML structures that I use to describe the integrations are not that standard, and it's not easy to find people who are familiar with this approach."
"The administration side is complex and could use significant improvements to enhance the solution's functionality."
"If I have to buy software, then it becomes expensive for me."
"I would like to see them bring back a feature, from earlier versions, that was very useful in debugging and finding issues."
"The integration capabilities need to be improved."
"In my opinion, the administration model and interface, of Carbon, are lacking in terms of its features and user experience."
"WSO2 libraries are not mature enough. For example, if you want to integrate with Kafka using its Kafka library, it often has many bugs."
"The customization can be a bit difficult."
