My list of dislikes is quite small. However, some plugins are only available on an enterprise license which can be a little annoying if you're trying to utilize those features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The approach and vision/mindset put in action. Many API platforms follow the standard way to 'just' publish a way to call interfaces, but the architecture designed to fit on-prem vs cloud vs multi-cloud is something useful. The approach and vision moved from an idea into reality will be for sure followed by other traditional players that would reinvent themselves to follow what i believe would become requirements for many customers in the API journey.

While the concept is valid and allows so many implementation scenarios, there is clear room for improvement in the way the solution could be introduced to customers. Startups or small companies looking for a way to pilot their strategy could find barriers in the limitations of SaaS version availability that is always a way to drive the final test before rolling out the solution at a corporate level. Also, suggest a few improvements in the way the solution advantages are presented and explained to customers to ensure the clear benefits of a new approach are perfectly understood.
