Overall Satisfaction with IBM API Connect

IBM API Connect is currently being used as the enterprise API enabler platform.
  • user management with Active Directory
  • In my opinion, hard to use UI. Needs a lot of improvement. Hard restriction to manager is an overkill e.g. fixed window mode, inconsistent behavior to get properties, scrollbars are inappropriate. Please don't invest too much on the UI, let's do an eclipse plugin rather.
  • In my experience, upgrades are not compatible, had lot of challenges with built in policies during upgrade. e.g. IF 1.0.0 and IF 2.0.0
  • Each upgrade is a nightmare!
  • IBM documentation doesn't have how-to-use examples, some basics are available though. it doesn't motivate to use the policies e.g. condition editor
  • I don't have visibility on the Return on Investment
