Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The gateway is the most valuable feature because it makes it possible for us to gather all traffic into one proxy, which is a good thing.""It's good that they aren't adding a lot of features like ESP, etc. It's okay with just being a gateway.""The standard deployment is very simple.""The solution is quite lightweight, and the installation is very easy. It's like a two-click installation.""To me, the most valuable feature of 3scale API Management is that it lets you add a backend to the product. I also like that you can integrate it well with OpenShift clusters, making 3scale API Management a useful solution.""3scale API Management's best feature is API management.""I like the API automation.""The product is stable."

"The API portal capability is a valuable feature.""The best feature of Axway Amplify API Management is its exceptional level of security, which is highly reassuring, coupled with its remarkable capacity to handle substantial volumes of data in impressively efficient turnaround times.""This platform can be highly scalable.""We like the portal for documentation a lot.""I don't believe the Salesforce has been fully utilized yet. It gives us quick engagement.""The most valuable feature of the solution is security.""The administration tool for this solution is good.""The most valuable features are security enforcement and throttling."

Cons
"We tried to use the portal, but we decided that it wasn't enough. The content management system (CMS) is not easy to use if you want to customize things, and it's hard to get someone who has the knowledge to work with the CMS.""What I'd like to improve in 3scale API Management is its route-limiting feature. Currently, I don't know how to do that effectively on the solution, but in Kong, I know how to do it, so I would love to see route-limiting being easily done on 3scale API Management. It would also be good if there was some authentication that you could do from 3scale API Management because Kong offers that functionality out of the box. What I'd love to see in the next release of 3scale API Management is the ability to integrate more plug-ins easily onto the platform, so you'll be able to extend it, and even do customs management. If Red Hat could offer that extension where it allows the internal organization where 3scale API Management is deployed on-premise to integrate its tools on top of 3scale API Management and provide an API for that, that will make the solution very powerful.""What was suggested by Red Hat was a crucial part of the configuration, but when we started to ask about the supportability of this configuration, Red Hat said only some parts of the configuration would be supported.""The user experience could be better. The developer portal is too complex and hard to configure.""It would be helpful to improve the customization features so that the customer can do it based on their own needs.""The product is not that flexible for developers. It's less flexible and rigid. It's not easy to make changes or customize it.""I believe the CMS part of it has room for improvement though. That is where you write a couple of things if you want to publish your API. It's based on liquid scripting, which doesn't seem like the obvious ones to script with.""3scale API Management only supports restful APIs and doesn't support SOAP."

"Team management capabilities could be improved.""In terms of customer service, the company needs to be easier to contact, and the support team needs to understand the situation and the product itself better.""The API Mocking tools need to be improved.""This solution does have some limitations regarding the deployment model.""It would be great if they have an asset report. It's hard to get support for that.""The installation process is a bit complex and it could be a lot simpler.""The product shows a lack of maturity. The setup is difficult, the tech support and community are lacking, and it is not very stable.""Sometimes we find bugs where certain calls are not returning all the data we need."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "I don't think that 3scale is very expensive."
  • "3scale API Management has reasonable pricing, judging from its competitor, Kong. My organization pays yearly for the 3scale API Management license, though I'm unable to give the exact figure because every single day there are new clusters deployed. I'm in charge of three to four clusters in my team, but give or take, it costs a few thousand lakhs."
  • "The cost was around $45,000 per year."
  • "The pricing is affordable, it's cheap."

  • "The solution is expensive. When you acquire a license you have full access to the solution, unlike other competitors such as Apigee X, where there are fragmented licenses. Some licenses only allow access to certain features while others allow access to more features. Upon procuring this solution's license, you will have full access to the solution, allowing you to experiment with all of its features."
