Senior Associate Software at Intelliswift Software4.0I work as a PG developer focusing on Layer7 API Management, valuing its drag-and-drop functionalities and security features. Improvements are needed in logging and alerts. Compared to Apigee and MuleSoft, Layer7 requires more coding but offers unique advantages.
Senior associate at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees4.5I use Layer7 API Management across various domains, including banking, valuing its developer portal and security features. However, Broadcom's technical support requires improvement. I transitioned to AWS API Management due to client needs, despite missing Layer7's features.
Director of Integration Services at a consultancy with 1-10 employees4.0We implemented Layer7 API Management on CentOS for healthcare APIs, finding the gateway's dashboard valuable due to its insights into API activity. However, stability issues with CentOS were a concern, and improved support and a clear roadmap are needed.
Network security architect at ATOS4.0I used Layer7 API Management in my company to enhance security following a ransomware attack. It's effective in protecting environments globally but has a complex initial setup. I also recommend Fortinet FortiAnalyzer and Blue Coat for proxy solutions.
Principal Architect at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees3.5I have used Layer7 API Management for a global customer primarily as a gateway solution but found its management capabilities lacking compared to Apigee, which we also use for tasks like building marketplaces and monetizing APIs due to ease and better features.
Enterprise Integration Architect at a retailer with 10,001+ employees2.5I rely on Layer7 API Management for handling the entire API lifecycle, from governance to analytics. However, it needs more innovation and investment to compete with leading products like Azure API Management, Google Apigee, and MuleSoft.
Presales Consultant for CA Southern Africa at Hyperion Holding Pty Ltd4.0I found Layer7 API Management highly efficient for securing APIs and translating services between formats. Its drag-and-drop feature minimizes coding. However, it needs improvements in its thick client interface and better web-based UI for policy management.
