API Connect

What do you like best? Ability to API enable our core assets, and sunset several other API tools such as API Manager, APIgee, WSRR. What do you dislike? When we started implementing API Connect, there was no elegant way to just do discovery the services. I believe my tech team has been working to get that issue resolved. What business problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? Democritizing data; breaking monoliths into micro services to enable agility.
