- Ease of Use : Someone with basic understanding of the APIs can easily understand and start working on the API Gateway. Comparitively I found the configurations quite intuitive.

- Separate threat protection layer : The product comes in 2 flavors, standard edition gateway and an advanced edition gateway. Standard edition is just a threat protection layer which can address various threat protection requirements while advanced gateway provides rich set of features for API Gateway configuration.

- Analytics : The product ships with a built-in Kibana that addresss the analytics requirements

- Access control made easy : Access control to each API can be controlled in a variety of ways, and they are all quite intuitive. This makes access control hassle free. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- Heavy weight : From resource requirement perspective, it has reasonable high resource requirements which makes it not a first choice when it comes to deployment along with microservices. SoftwareAG has a micro gateway offering to address such requirements, but they fall short when it comes to features they offer Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Invoking a SOAP service as REST fails to respond in error scenarios. The Json response payload is incorrect in few scenarios. A new release is much appreciated, looking forward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
