IBM API Connect vs. Integrate.io

IBM API Connect is a great tool for interface analysis and for tracking API usage and activity. I can use the IBM API with different products and apps, which further proves its versatility.
Even if IBM API is excellent and helpful, there are situations when its sophisticated features are difficult to comprehend. Additionally, IBM API Connect subscription and licensing can be prohibitively expensive at times.
