Quite flexible and provides excellent performance for API gateway
What is our primary use case?
We have implemented this product in different domains, such as insurance and banking.
What is most valuable?
It's quite flexible and easy to deploy, especially for beginners. It has almost all the features that an API gateway should have.
What needs improvement?
The only disadvantage I can see is that it requires heavy hardware support, which can be considered quite expensive.
In terms of new functionality, I think the analytics can be improved in V10. The analytics feature was better in the older version, 2.18. But in V10, it's not as flexible. When exporting analytics as KSP or JSON, it's not well formatted. They can work on enhancing the analytics part. Additionally, they can focus on reducing the hardware cost.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been working on IBM API Connect for the last six years. I am using V10.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It's very stable. Previous versions were not as stable, but now, starting from 2018, I can see that the product is very stable. I would rate it a ten out of ten.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
It is scalable. I would rate it a ten out of ten. Any number of users can utilize the solution. All of our clients are enterprise clients.
How are customer service and support?
So far, whatever the PMR I have raised, IBM has given a solution that may be complicated, and it might take time, but in the end, we got the correct solution. The response time can be improved.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I also have experience with Red Hat 3scale API gateway.
IBM API Connect is much much better. In terms of features, there are some limitations with 3scale. Additionally, the support for Red Hat 3scale is not as good. Even the documentation provided by Red Hat is not as comprehensive as IBM's strong documentation. If you're a beginner developer and referring to the IBM Knowledge Center, you can easily develop your API, but that's not the case with Red Hat. Red Hat's documentation is still not as mature as IBM's.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is quite easy. The deployment of the environment and the solution itself is quite easy. The deployment itself can be done in a few minutes. Let's say 30 minutes for deployment and 30 more minutes for configuration. Within one hour, your environment is ready.
One person is more than enough for the deployment.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The pricing for 3scale is definitely cheaper. However, for enterprise-level projects, we don't recommend 3scale. If the client is medium or small and requires a basic API proxy or minimal transformation, we propose Red Hat. But for big, mature clients with complex solutions, we recommend IBM API Connect.
The pricing for us on a yearly basis. But currently, IBM API Connect also provides it as a cloud service, where you pay as you use it. That provision is also available. Only the license is covered. There are no hidden costs or extra charges.
What other advice do I have?
I would suggest that if you're looking for stability and excellent performance for your API gateway, you should definitely choose IBM API Connect.
Overall, I would rate it as a ten.
