    Likelihood to Recommend
    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.

    Like, a business wants its distributors to access products and services without giving them DB access. The SAP Integration Suite helps by exposing APIs through API management and separating external API consumers from the implementation. It fits in an organization because an organization needs a managed API layer rather than a collection of unmanaged ones.

    Pros
    Broadcom
    • SOAP to Rest / Rest to SOAP web services transformation.
    • Secure authorization and authetication (JWT, OpenIP Connect, OAuth, SAML and more). WASP Features as injection protection.
    • Easy rule writing without coding.

    • The extensive catalog of pre package integrations that have in the discovery center. That allows developers to find solutions that can fit the needs.
    • Monitor of the integrations and api deployed.
    • API management has been for us a very usefull tool inside integration suite, to be able to have the API Hub with the documentation of our apis.

    • Performance to be improved: for simple point to point integrations with bare minimum data it takes relatively more time than other applications
    • No possibility to have a dedicated own license running on my own network
    • Need to improve providing more pre loaded connectors
    • No availability of AI usage in standard edition

    It is in place, our system integrators are familiar with it, and it fits into the ecosystem. A better user interface, flow build and debugging experience would see it grow, many technical staff do not enjoy using it for this reason, however it is quite capable and powerful behind this one shortcoming.

    Usability

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

    The user interface is messy and not intuitive. It has a steep learning curve, and flows developed around are easy to make a mess with layout and can be difficult to follow. The debugging is also quite difficult, it takes some time to figure out how to follow the flow and examine data. Error handling is also difficult and not intuitive, it is better to let some errors leak and monitor through ALM.

    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.

    The support for SAP Integration Suite is satisfactory. We leverage SAP support through our manage services partner. So far, we have not had many major issues. One concern, to make our rating a ten, would be turnaround time on high priority incidents. SAP Integration Suite drives our key business functions forward. Without a reasonable service level agreement on turnaround, we sometimes find us running into issues running pay, etc.

    Used SAP own materials for training. With SAP changing the interface and terminology so often, the training materials sometimes refer to non-existent paths or renamed features.

    We evaluated 3 tools and decided on Layer7 API Management because it had the shortest implementation times and fastest learning curve, without losing power of customization and scalability.

    Before deploying SAP Integration Suite, we assessed Oracle Financial Services Analytics and IBM Risk Analytics. While Oracle had proved its mettle in the exceptional database support and IBM in presenting risk model tools, SAP Integration Suite overwhelmed others by being effortlessly integrated with our existing banking framework.

    On occasion an IFlow gets stuck in "Running" state and can't be terminated, since it is a cloud solution - there is no way to manually terminate it.
