We performed a comparison between 3scale API Management and Pipedream 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 standard deployment is very simple."
"The most valuable features are the gateway and security features."
"The solution is quite lightweight, and the installation is very easy. It's like a two-click installation."
"It's good that they aren't adding a lot of features like ESP, etc. It's okay with just being a gateway."
"The product is stable."
"3scale API Management's best feature is API management."
"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."
"I like the API automation."
"The most valuable features of Pipedream are the prebuilt integrations that require no coding."
"The most valuable feature of Pipedream is the ability to use Python code in general."
"It is a developer-friendly platform that allows writing custom scripts."
"The solution enables users to integrate several things."
"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."
"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."
"The product is not that flexible for developers. It's less flexible and rigid. It's not easy to make changes or customize it."
"It would be helpful to improve the customization features so that the customer can do it based on their own needs."
"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."
"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."
"They should give more information about trigger failure."
"Documentation isn't available for everything in the solution, so you may have to figure out a lot of things by yourself."
"We faced some server timeouts."
"There is a potential area for improvement in handling loop operations over items."
