We performed a comparison between IBM Cloud Pak for Integration and Microsoft Azure API Management based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two API Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most preferable aspect would be the elimination of the command, which was a significant improvement. In the past, it was a challenge, but now we can proceed smoothly with the implementation of our policies and everything is managed through JCP. It's still among the positive aspects, and it's a valuable feature."
"Cloud Pak for Integration is definitely scalable. That is the most important criteria."
"The most valuable aspect of the Cloud Pak, in general, is the flexibility that you have to use the product."
"It is a stable solution."
"Initial setup was quite easy."
"The mediation and translation from SOAP to REST technology makes it possible to open up legacy systems that couldn't be opened before."
"Ease of integration into the entire Microsoft environment."
"It seems quite good so far. It handles our current workload well, and I'm optimistic it can scale effectively as our needs grow."
"The tool helps to manage APIs."
"Microsoft Azure API Management is a good, comprehensive solution for enterprise implementation."
"The user management is pretty seamless."
"The initial setup is not that complex, but there are certain challenges."
"Its queuing and messaging features need improvement."
"The pricing can be improved."
"The initial setup is not easy."
"Setting up Cloud Pak for Integration is relatively complex. It's not as easy because it has not yet been fully integrated. You still have some products that are still not containerized, so you still have to run them on a dedicated VM."
"I would like to see better scalability and better performance."
"One of the most important improvements for us would be if it supported the HTTP/3 version and new protocol over a quick connection."
"Some of the DevOps stuff could be easier to work with. The migration paths are a little complicated, and moving code around could be more seamless. There should be less manual migration when several teams work together to publish code to the DevOps."
"Performance issues from this platform need to be sorted out."
"Technical support could be more helpful and responsive."
"The implementation has room for improvement and can be more user-friendly."
"Security could be improved."
"The portal where we publish the APIs could be improved. Maybe this is because we didn't configure it. It is quite easy to bypass API management because we have a lot of information shared on the portal, where we publish our APIs. I worry there is potential for a security breach in the API publishing. There needs to be more security available on terms of the way we publish them."
