IBM API Connect Reviews & Product Details - Page 12

It allows you to maintain many API hassle free and needs very less maintenance. Also it is good to have different portals for developing rules and maintaining APIs. Also security can be maintained in only one one place(API connect) instead of configuring in every service. And with less technical knowledge it can be used.

The tool is simple but for a newbie it is confusing. it should be further more simplified and made it easy. ans also can have better simplified tutorials from IBM. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

APIC as an APIM product suite is a complete tool for API management and for microservices as well. I liked the control it gives to the governance and the analytics for product owners which is critical for product design and pricing. From a security and management point of view, I like the space management within the catalogs. The built-in policies security, mediation and transport are well defined.

There could have been more policies in the security section, a little better UI because sometimes it becomes little too confusing to browse through the different features. There should be a recovery process for lost API secret for app consumer. If they forget to copy paste their client secret then its tough on them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The run time - datapower is the fastest and best run time engine Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

upgrade releases have so many bugs that we have to keep repeatedly using ifixes to upgrade Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Of the 1700+ APIs we Service, of the 600+ teams developing those services, with all the traffic they can produce, the Management alone is fluid, functional, stable, easy to task, and monitor or track. Providing "Consumer" Applications and Backend Service Developers the space/time they need independently to develop and advace their services, develope their product, increase their feature stack, and provide changes at better rates than typicle 'client - server' relationships/infastructure/arcetecture. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its a simplified service with simple demands and simple archetecture, that QUICKLY can become a 'beast' to move/migrate/manipulate when a known "feature" is redicovered, or new fundamental change is rolled out. Dramatic, Visible, and Orcastrational changes can impact consumers and developers with what appears to be a whole new Product rather than an updated more current and 'intune' verson.

It is every easy to understand how to create an API and also publish it. The documentation of API Connect is nice as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is very hard to debug a policy once it created. I would like to have the same possibility to debug as you get in the IBM Integration Bus, to be able to see the different headers and the message body. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

IT gives us analytics, makes exposing APIs to clients much easier, it gives us a central point for consuming and managing APIs Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ability to API enable our core assets, and sunset several other API tools such as API Manager, APIgee, WSRR. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When we started implementing API Connect, there was no elegant way to just do discovery the services. I believe my tech team has been working to get that issue resolved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Love that we are moving to a unified platform to house all of our organizations API's. Certainly beats trying to determine whether an API already exists. We have just begun to roll this out across the organization and it has been incredibly well received. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Like anything it takes time to roll out any new technology - while we are moving it would be great to move much quicker. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It fits perfect for all the Bank industry in order to offer data as a service Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The cost, it a long way to get the ROI, for middle size bank it is an expensive bit Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
