We are using API Connect for approx. 10 months. It has been (and still is) a very stony road. We are now considering another solution.
My findings w.r.t to API Connect:
Pros:
- Concept of catalogs is useful (for us) w.r.t. dealing with several tenants.
- When it is running, it looks very stable.
Cons:
- Installation and updates were a nightmare each time. We use OpenShift; and we had problems for up to three weeks for an update, including support from IBM. We cannot afford that in production, which leads to investigations on our side.
- Small amount of policies, compared to some of the competitors. In the current version, a "map" is not supported (according to IBM).
- No debugging of the flow.
- High footprint of pods and resources, compared to an alternative.
IBM API Connect and Apigee compete in the API management category. Apigee appears to have the upper hand due to its superiority in analytics and monetization features, as well as better user feedback on ease of policy creation.
Features: IBM API Connect offers a robust security framework with OAuth integration, seamless integration with IBM's ecosystem, and a comprehensive catalog for API management. It is highly regarded for supporting both external and internal API consumers efficiently....
