What do you dislike about the product?
When it comes to implementing API gateways you can use powerful IBM DataPower which serves as a gateway. But you must be prepared to acquire knowledge of it if you don't already know it. Documentation for programming could be better.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
When you need to take control of your API lifecycle APIC is hard to beat. You can safely develop new APIs in local sandbox and when ready publish them to the public.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
IBM APIC can be a bit difficult to set up if you are not knowing Kubernetes.
