Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"As an organization grow, you can use CA API Management for authentication purposes through the CA API Gateway. It allows for multiple identity providers with different Active Directories.""We can create multiple orgs and set up policies and management. We can also integrate with an APM solution""It allows us to keep clear traceability of the changes made in each of our APIs.""Almost all security features are available out-of-the-box and can be deployed rapidly.""From a security standpoint, it works great. It is the right solution for us. It's lightweight, a software-appliance configuration which was easy to deploy and configure.""What I found most valuable in Layer7 API Management is that you can launch the API from the gateway quickly and securely, making it less complicated to deploy APIs. I also like that Layer7 API Management has a good portal and dashboards and that the dashboards show you statistics regarding how many people used the API, etc.""Layer7 API Management's availability on an on-premises deployment model, actually decreases the production time if its users have any issues at the server level.""When I have used technical support they helped me a lot. Sometimes they took a long time to respond because we had very complex issues that we asked them for help with, but I think it is a very good service."

Additionally, the suite offers both push and data integration capabilities."

Cons
"​There is still room for improvement for the CA API Developer Portal. It is still not on par with what the competencies are.""They need a workflow for the API Developer Portal, where the process only allows requests to go to the correct person.""It is not possible for clients to migrate to a newer version.""The delivery is bulky in terms of implementation. Its price could also be better. It is a very good product as compared to CA API, Google API, and WSO2 API, but its price is high. From the cloud-native perspective, some new features need to be added. It could also be made simpler to implement.""There is room for improvement in terms of innovation and investment, especially when compared to other leading products in the market.""More developer focused tools. They have a nice debugger inside of the program, but when you are developing code with their policies, it is tough to visualize that sometimes as a developer.""As the number of instances increases, its complexity of installation increases if you do not use the OVA.""Layer7 API Management’s price could be reduced."

"The product's UI could be faster.""They could provide graphical data for over-viewing metrics such as payments, receipts, creditors, and refunds.""The instances are costly.""The setup process for the SAP integration Suite is not straightforward. It involves some technical aspects and can be complex."
