Facilitates API exposure securely and highlights developer portal flexibility needs

Not much stands out for me regarding the advantages of this product. We usually don't tinker with it. Developing developer portals could be more standards-based. I think currently it's Ruby-based. Having more options on designing that would be beneficial. Additional flexibility would have been great; we would have used it more if it aligned with our platform. I don't use the analytics part. We don't use monetization features, which help to create a revenue generation model.

Centralized monitoring has improved real-time issue tracking and reduced root cause analysis time

One of the best features that Coralogix offers is that it is integration friendly. I can seamlessly work with different cloud providers including AWS, Azure, and GCP. I can monitor Kubernetes or Docker platforms as well, and I can integrate with the DevOps chain including Jenkins and all infrastructure code, Terraform, or Ansible. Coralogix has positively impacted my organization by providing a centralized console to monitor the dashboard, giving me rich flexibility to see different sorts of data that is spread across the logs, metrics, or traces, which are the typical pillars of the observability tool. I have the interface where I can use the drag-and-drop feature, and I can create different types of charts. Mainly, I have the line charts and time series ones that I generally use in many use cases, gauges, tables, pie charts, or markdown widgets. These are the ones generically available, and I can switch between the visualization types. I am getting the underlying query in that and can import and export dashboards built upon the JSON format. I can have my own APIs integrated with my dashboards as well, such as with Terraform, which is useful for scaling across my environments. Regarding root cause analysis, mainly what I can do is correlate across all of the layers because the main logs that I work on are storage-related, including CIFS, NFS, SAN traffic, and the metrics including storage, throughput, or VM resource usage. Being able to view logs, metrics, or traces available, I get all of these in one place, and I can do root cause analysis much quicker.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"It's good that they aren't adding a lot of features like ESP, etc. It's okay with just being a gateway."

"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."

"3scale API Management's best feature is API management."

"The most valuable features are the gateway and security features."

"The standard deployment is very simple."

"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."

"I like the API automation."

"The product is stable."

More 3scale API Management pros

"The solution is easy to use and to start with."

"The initial setup is straightforward."

"The most valuable feature of Coralogix is that it is a very good vendor for metrics."

"The best feature of this solution allows us to correlate logs, metrics and traces."

"The solution offers very good convenience filtering."

"In my experience, the best feature Coralogix offers is that the dashboard is pretty good."

"Coralogix scales well, and I will rate it nine out of ten."

"Numerous data monitoring tools are available, but Coralogix somehow fine-tunes our policies and effectively supports our teams."

Cons

"3scale API Management only supports restful APIs and doesn't support SOAP."

"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."

"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."

"The product is not that flexible for developers. It's less flexible and rigid. It's not easy to make changes or customize it."

"The user experience could be better. The developer portal is too complex and hard to configure."

"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."

"It would be helpful to improve the customization features so that the customer can do it based on their own needs."

"We want it to work at what it is expected to work at and not really based on the updated configuration which one developer has decided to change."

"The user interface could be more intuitive and explanatory."

"Coralogix's dashboard and search capabilities do not help me in any particular way."

"Maybe they could make it more user-friendly."

"The features we were missing in the past were related to the way we see our metrics and aggregate our data."

"In terms of documentation, I think there can be more user-friendly documentation that stresses more on day-to-day issues."

"The documentation of the tool could be improved"

"The user interface is not intuitive, especially when first onboarding, and improvements could be made here."

More Coralogix cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is affordable, it's cheap."

"The cost was around $45,000 per year."

"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."

"I don't think that 3scale is very expensive."

"The cost of the solution is per volume of data ingested."

"Currently, we are at a very minimal cost, which is around $400 per month since we have reduced our usage. Initially, we were at $900 per month."

"We are paying roughly $5,000 a month."

"The platform has a reasonable cost. I rate the pricing a three out of ten."
