Helps monitor and manage API services and measure the API performance
What is our primary use case?
How has it helped my organization?
We use the product to enforce standards to check and align things with the application design. The tool has enhanced our digital transformation efforts. With the adoption of the cloud, we deploy a lot of APIs on Lambda. We also have APIs deployed on-premise. We use the front-end access of all the APIs on-premise and on the cloud.
What is most valuable?
The API lifecycle management has helped us to do the version controls and naming of the APIs. The product gathers data to measure API performance. Users monitor the utilization of each API and the response times. It helps manage the environment. The product facilitates development by allowing the developers to go to the portal and test the APIs.
What needs improvement?
It would be nice to have a SaaS solution that can be deployed into the cloud.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using the solution for many years.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The tool is very scalable.
How was the initial setup?
There's a bit of a learning curve to the setup process. Once the support team gets familiar with it, it is just like any other product.
What other advice do I have?
We started with DataPower ten years ago. Most of our APIs are SOAP APIs. When we started using RESTful APIs, we started using IBM API Connect. It took us a while to adopt API services. I will recommend the solution to people who need to manage their APIs. It's pretty good. It serves our purpose. Overall, I rate the product an eight or nine out of ten.
