Layer7 API Security vs. SAP Integration Suite

Well suited for publishing internal services with very high security, protecting against attacks, and managing on-demand load. Also good for transform messages and SQL to Rest services. Not appropriate for business logic implementation.

The case of the SAP Integration Suite shows outstanding capability in handling huge data, and especially when handling corporate portfolio data with multiple owners. But we have noticed that in the cases of moving data from the older banking system, it is necessary to further refine the system. It does an excellent job of the current credit scoring.

• SOAP to Rest / Rest to SOAP web services transformation.
• Secure authorization and authetication (JWT, OpenIP Connect, OAuth, SAML and more). WASP Features as injection protection.
• Easy rule writing without coding.

• Broad Connectivity: SAP Integration Suite excels in connecting diverse systems, including SAP and non-SAP applications, databases, and third-party services.
• Pre-built Integrations and Templates:The suite provides a library of pre-built integrations and templates for common business scenarios.
• User-Friendly Design Tools:
• API Management:

• It would be nice to have an integration with services like Github for managing projects and versions.

• Could be even more business friendly with programming language abstracted
• Ability to simulate the integration flow instead of a real run
• Have some kind of an AI-assistant suggesting the optimal design of an integration flow as it's being built (best practice assistant)

SAP Integration Suite is very helpful to us in many ways to manage purchase procedures, stocks, and data of vendors and suppliers. Also, it helps to manage data for service providers. SAP Integration Suite has the tool to conduct training and evaluation. Unique features like the cloud can provide access from any place and by any device is very helpful.

The Layer7 API Management is a great solution, but, sometimes the documentation is not clear or has lack of examples.

It is a user-friendly platform that enables fast setup for new subaccounts, launchpad and applications.

The support team is good and the response time is reasonable, but (there is always a but), when support inquiries are made by someone experienced, and the question is not trivial, it is boring and takes a long time to get the case escalated to the next level of support.

Support is hard to reach and takes a long time to get a response.

Work with an SAP implementation partner, if possible.

We evaluated 3 tools and decided on Layer7 API Management because it had the shortest implementation times and fastest learning curve, without losing power of customization and scalability.

We used to have a in house application in Camel and Karaf as a middleware, and after we migrate to S4HANNA we decide to give a try and move to the cloud with SAP Integration Suite, knowing the capabilities and the needs that we have in the company and the projects that were running on premise in our middleware.

Incentivized

• Very fast implementation and is easy to learn & use.

Incentivized

• Ability to have multiple integrations across different SAP systems or modules and be able to actively monitor in one place
• APIs already exist for the different fields in SAP products and are easy to locate
• Can set email notifications to aid with monitoring and alert business process owners of issues
