What do you like best about IBM DataPower Gateway?

Can be used by a wide range of skill sets from beginner to expert. While its useful to be an xslt guru, most things can be done with the gateway (javascript-ish) scripts. Once you get a baseline set of flows, look towards automation to remove any user errors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IBM DataPower Gateway?

The new user interface stinks. I prefer the old web-gui. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
