Why Layer7 is good when starting and still good when it's largely adopted.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are mainly using Layer7 API Management as a security gateway. Our customers are able to expose internet legacy and internal services to a new partners, delegating the authentication, authorization, data transformation, analytics and security controls to Layer7 practically without modifying their current software. It is used as a OAuth server or as a point for identity verification.

Pros and Cons

  • 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.
  • It would be nice to have an integration with services like Github for managing projects and versions.

Likelihood to Recommend

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.

Support Rating

8
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.
