    Broadcom
    Well suited for publishing internal services with very high security, protecting against attacks, and managing on-demand load. Also good for transform messages and SQL to Rest services. Not appropriate for business logic implementation.

    Usability
    Broadcom
    The Layer7 API Management is a great solution, but, sometimes the documentation is not clear or has lack of examples.

    Support Rating
    Broadcom
    The support team is good and the response time is reasonable, but (there is always a but), when support inquiries are made by someone experienced, and the question is not trivial, it is boring and takes a long time to get the case escalated to the next level of support.
