Overall Satisfaction with IBM API Connect

IBM API Connect is convenient and effective since it can manage multiple connections at once and track the API lifetime from a single dashboard. I got an API Gateway, secure authentication, portable development, multi-cloud support, and API customization for my project. I was skeptical about how easy this system would be to use while working for the company that implemented it.

Pros

  • Automatization facilitates the rollout of API enhancements.
  • Effective administrative assistance.
  • Simple setup and operation.

Cons

  • Continuous, non-intrusive improvements.
  • Updates and fixes aren't always simple to implement.
  • Open up the system to outside influences.
  • Easy and efficient management of APIs.
  • The services we provide are secured because we refrain from disclosing any of our endpoints to anyone else.
In static scenarios when there are little API changes or developer participation, it is possible that the vast functionality of the platform is superfluous. The members of our team have become so proficient with the platform that they are now able to instruct new users. Important data must be readily accessible and comprehensible to all employees at all times.

Do you think IBM API Connect delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Yes

Did IBM API Connect live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of IBM API Connect go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy IBM API Connect again?

Yes

IBM API Connect performs best on a dedicated server. Our flexible cloud-hosted products are managed by IBM Cloud. It works with IBM and other cloud services. We received an endpoint to access the cloud-based backend. Don't want the endpoint to be accessible from the internet? Use an API gateway. IBM's API gateway is a nice solution. If your company has multiple applications of different types and operating, it works great because you can partition them by URI.
