Api connect review
What do you like best about the product?
It is a great api management solution with rich set of management and self service features. With Datapower as runtime it fits well in on prem for exposing in house APIs to internal and external developers. We are moving towards v2018 on kubernetes platform and we hope it will add more values.
What do you dislike about the product?
Installation on API Connect on VMWare OVA as well as on kubernetes is not properly documented.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Faster development by exposing the APIs.
Service availability and discovery.
Centralized self service portal for multi cloud environments.
Organization brand reach.

New in API Connect
What do you like best about the product?
IT gives us analytics, makes exposing APIs to clients much easier, it gives us a central point for consuming and managing APIs
What do you dislike about the product?
The fact the whenever we have to upgrade datapower, we have to delete the gateway server from API connect then re add it again after the datapower upgrade. I wish this dependency will be removed in the future as it is a bit disruptive and doing firmware upgrades should be as simple and transparent as possible
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We purchased API Connect so we have a central point to manage APIs. It also made it easier for us to expose our APIs to consumers.
Best platform to create APIs
What do you like best about the product?
The ensemble area is easy to create an API in less than 15 minutes.
What do you dislike about the product?
sometimes when I publish a product in API Gateway, it is sometimes slow.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Afterwards, we had many ways to connect with the banking core, but now we have one way to get specific data.
Good Product but need propoer documentation
What do you like best about the product?
Redily available OEMs for installation. Available developement starter kit.
What do you dislike about the product?
Supportx only Java and NodeJS developement. Python should be there.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Exposing the internal data to other systems so that there is always one source of truth
Used in production to desing implement strangler pattern
What do you like best about the product?
For me the best feature is that gateway is run on Datapower and it is reliable and easy to develeop and administer the product. Basing main deployment artefacts on open specifiaction and extending with custom stuff is a way to go. This enable implementation CI/CD processes.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes analytics gathering is broken and we have incosistent analytics data. Restart of manager VM and/or DP domain helps. Not a blocker for me but it would be nice if it would be fixed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Implemented strangler pattern by exposing large custom build Entreprise system as a set of well defined APIs so we can break the monolith into something more managable.
Love the product except few areas which can be improved
What do you like best about the product?
DataPower Gateway, ease of use, extensible
What do you dislike about the product?
Limited monitization support, no direct migration path available from v5.0.5 to 2018.x
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Exposing legacy functions as api's for faster time to market. IBM APIConnect has helped us stay ahead in the race
Recommendations to others considering the product:
APIConnect is a good product with DataPower as a security gateway
New generation complete API Suite

exposing backend services as APIs, rate limiting , security, SSO
Recommendations to others considering the product:
easy to use and very good compared to other products in the market
