We performed a comparison between Microsoft Azure API Management and webMethods API Gateway 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 valuable features are the API and integrations."
"Most of the features are valuable to me."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Azure API Management is the developer portal because it's very quick and easy to get something published."
"The stability and performance are good. It is easy to install, and it scales well too."
"Azure APIM's best features are its straightforward access management (it's a single point of access for all monitoring and logging and for policy implementation) and its integration with the Azure Cloud infrastructure."
"The solution has overall high performance."
"The tool helps to manage APIs."
"Azure API Management is an API gateway that can be used for different purposes, for example, to monetize APIs."
"This solution has given us a competitive advantage because we have better automation and insight."
"It's a good tool, and it has a stable messaging broker."
"In the API gateway, there is a new feature that allows us to filter logs within a payload. This has been a useful feature."
"There were no complexities involved in the setup phase...The product is able to meet my company's API protection needs."
"What I like the most about the solution is that it comes with ready-made tools like handling security tokens and OAuth."
"The most valuable aspect of this solution for me has been the configuration-based UI. Once you get the hang of it, it enables you to easily develop an API. In addition, it has many in-built policies that are quite handy."
"The cloud version of the solution is very easy to set up."
"The developer portal is a valuable feature."
"The licensing fees should be cheaper."
"The developer console for external users could be improved, especially in the testing site."
"Specific to API development, I think Microsoft is still far behind AWS. AWS has grown by leaps and bounds, and Microsoft is a close second. But in terms of features and other stuff they provide, Microsoft's compatibility with publicly available APIs is a little limited. So, that is a little bit of a constraint. But what they provide is good, it's just that they need to build more on their API suite. I think Google is doing a really good job at that."
"Microsoft Azure API Management should have the ability to allow multitenancy."
"Microsoft Azure API Management's most valuable features are the microservices we used to use. They were API callers to receive communication with the network and building system, to complete the request. The response would be through the processing system."
"It can be quite complex, somewhat lacking in flexibility."
"Microsoft Azure API Management needs to improve stability."
"Performance issues from this platform need to be sorted out."
"There are things that could be improved with the webMethods API gateway. One thing is that it's too attached to the integration service and we'd like it to be a little bit more independent. We would like for them to separate operations so that it doesn't rely on the bulky integration server and so that it can be used everywhere."
"In terms of improvements, maybe on the API monetization side, having users able to create separate consumption plans and throttle all those consumption plans towards the run time could be better."
"The high price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"With respect to the API gateway, the runtime component, the stability after a new release is something that can be improved."
"They should develop clear visibility for the onboarding."
"Understanding the overall architecture is difficult."
"It is an expensive solution and not very suitable for smaller businesses."
"With performance, there is room for improvement in regards to if we would like to put another extra layer of security on it, such as SSL. This is affecting their performance quite significantly. They need to improve the process of managing the SSL and other things inside their solutions, so there will not be quite such a significant impact to the performance."
