Overall Satisfaction with IBM API Connect
We use IBM API Connect to complete our architecture and provide security, controll and goverment to our APIs. Thanks to the tool, we managed to reduce the integration time from 1 month to 1 week. We ran into some complications regarding the update of the tool, nevertheless, we could expose our bussiness logic through a single point. We have now visibility of the analitycs regarding the consumption and use of our platforms and provides us usefull information for decision making. It has his learning curve and I recommend complementing the development with a, API First approach and an efficient catalog/product management. I recommend choosing the cloud option, because the problems that we ran into, were because of our on premise deployment of the tool. Another problem that we face, is the replication of the changes in the datapower, but we managed to solve them with the update of the tool and a better management of the products an our APIs.
