Overall Satisfaction with IBM API Connect

IBM API Connect (APIC) is a go to platform solution for enterprise system integration needs, when the API based integration pattern or architecture is the right approach. The tooling offers AI driven support in implementation and several other developer experience friendly features allowing the developer to focus on the business requirements and logic rather than struggling with the toolset.

Pros

  • API access management
  • API mapping and design
  • API catalogue and gateway support

Cons

  • API monetization support
  • API reusability support
  • Natural language development with code assistants support
  • Supporting a unified data access layer architecture
  • Encapsulating and providing access to legacy platform systems
  • Reducing lead times for app development teams
The enterprise grade packaging and support of the technological features makes it easy to use, reliable and robust. It's hard to find areas where the product and platform comes up short in relation to technical or business requirements, making it easy to rate high on a scale from 1 to 10.
IBM API Connect can in some use cases, especially when customer requirements are highly security centric, provide a more robust approach to managing access, performance, and trust, in the IT estate. In many cases it boils down to customer preference and to some extent if the cost and licensing model respectively is suitable.
