Getting a simple service up is incredibly easy. Grouping services by domains and managing said domains is intuitive and straightforward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Developer experience when it comes to writing and debugging XSLT stylesheets / GatewayScript scripts is far from ideal. Clearing stylesheets cache should be somewhat automatic during development, and there should be a straightforward way to write code locally and push it to the appliance.

IBM has been the market leader in the Middleware segment for a long time now with the help of IBM Datapower Gateway and IBM MQ. Datapower is the complete solution whether you are using any protocol (MQ, SOAP, REST, HTTPS...).

Since it is a hardware device it is capable o\f providing wire speed transfer rates with the ability to transform your message body completely or only few tags. There are various models availabel in the market for Datapopwer like Integration Appliance XI50, B2B Appliance XB60 and Messaging Appliance XM70.

Datapower has in the inbuilt ability to detect threat of various natures and treat them accordingly. It gives you the flexibility to scale or descale because it provides you with a parameter called threshold value where you can define how many transactions you want to allow per minute or second.

Datapower is the most secure device because it gives us with the options of integrating some of the most secure protocols into our service namely SSL, TLS, OAuth, SAML and even Kerboros too. I have personally never seen a message getting lost or hacked in Datapower. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Datapower doesn't have any flaws according to me. The only thing which I could suggest is that they need to come up with more detailed documentation because Datapower has a plethora of options but the audience isn't well aware of them because they have not documented them well use-case wise. Another thins is the initial setup which is quite cumbersome if you are doing it the first time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The efficiency and speed of which DataPower processes requests is up there. In all my experience with working with physical DataPower appliances (XB62, IDG, X152), I"ve never had to worry about CPU/memory/disk space usage. Definitely helps me sleep at night. Super easy to setup basic proxies, SSL validation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'm not the best at XSLT, and a lot of the transformations require that. Converting from XSLT <-> JSON has been difficult (using JSON X), but I believe there are some actions in the 2018 instance that is supposed to make that easier, looking forward to it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
