User Testimonials
	Forum Systems Forum Sentry	Layer7 API Management
Likelihood to Recommend	Forum Systems No answers on this topic	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. Incentivized Leonardo Villa Director of Service Delivery Read full review
Pros	Forum Systems No answers on this topic	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. Incentivized Leonardo Villa Director of Service Delivery Read full review
Cons	Forum Systems No answers on this topic	Broadcom It would be nice to have an integration with services like Github for managing projects and versions. Incentivized Leonardo Villa Director of Service Delivery Read full review
Usability	Forum Systems No answers on this topic	Broadcom The Layer7 API Management is a great solution, but, sometimes the documentation is not clear or has lack of examples. Incentivized Leonardo Villa Director of Service Delivery Read full review
Support Rating	Forum Systems No answers on this topic	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. Incentivized Leonardo Villa Director of Service Delivery Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Forum Systems No answers on this topic	Broadcom 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. Incentivized Leonardo Villa Director of Service Delivery Read full review
Return on Investment	Forum Systems No answers on this topic	Broadcom Very fast implementation and is easy to learn & use. Incentivized Leonardo Villa Director of Service Delivery Read full review
