My advice to people who are considering using the solution is to keep in mind that if you have a background in software development, especially with Java, you will likely find it easier to work with the platform. Overall, I would rate webMethods API Gateway an eight out of ten.

I am using the latest version of the solution. The improvements depend on the vendors. MuleSoft has got different areas of improvement. Software AG has different areas of improvement. We are planning to move the product to the cloud. My advice for the product users depends on their business model, the scale of their business, how much volume they have, and what kind of transaction management they need. Overall, I rate the product an eight out of ten.

I give webMethods API Gateway a seven out of ten. We currently have 40 people and four developers using webMethods API Gateway. We plan to increase our usage tenfold within the next few years. I would advise a POC to see if there is a business case. I suggest starting small and scaling out as required.

This solution is a good fit for small, medium, and larger enterprise companies. I would advise other people looking into this solution to get it because it adds an additional feature to the capabilities of your web method templates. Also, it uses existing web flow services to enable you to leverage your existing services that are already paired on your on-premises system or into the traditional system of your work method. Overall, I would rate this solution an eight, on a scale from one to 10, with one being the worst and 10 being the best.

We are partners with Software AG. We've been a partner for more than 20 years now. I'm a consultant. I work with a consulting company. I'm familiar with API Gateway, API Portal, and Active Transfer. The API Portal and Gateway form the layer of API management, however, usually, API management does not go on its own. There's typically some level of an integration layer behind it as well. Either a customer is applying an API management layer on top of an existing integration layer, or, if not, a customer is starting fresh and has to apply both layers subsequently, or consecutively, kind of like creating an API management layer, and integration, a hybrid integration layer. Both go together, especially in data integration, or in application integration and cloud application integration. I'd rate the solution at an eight out of ten.

This solution provides a fully customizable portal that has built-in testing capabilities, although we haven't implemented it yet. This is something that we are planning to do within the next couple of months. My advice for anybody who is implementing this product is to involve consultants who are familiar with it because they can help you to best set it up. Also, think about the process and steps in your governance because this is a workflow and you want to be sure that it follows the procedures that you have in place. Overall, I'm happy with the product. I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

In every implementation of webMethods API Gateway, I strongly suggest that you need good API governance. webMethods has their API governance all built inside of your license. It is a continuation between the services using the webMethods Integration Server and webMethods API Gateway, exposing those services into the outside world. You need to have good governance for that. I would rate this solution an eight (out of 10).

Once your APIs are “out there,” hackers have a “way in” to your business. Lock that door! Protect your data, applications—even your company’s reputation—with robust API runtime security. The right API gateway will keep out wrong-doers and welcome only authorized consumers. With cybercrime costs surging to $2 trillion by 2019, look for the most impermeable API gateway you can find. You’ll need basic security features, like authentication, authorization, digital encryption and digital...
