Cons
"Lacks an integrated billing feature."

More Akana API Management Cons →

"It would be useful to have a more complete development environment for the developer, with different integrative capabilities to manage all the life cycles for the API. I think the full version formula for that is really useful. They should improve the development environment for easier integration.""The user interface could be improved, as well as customer support and having a local customer representative in a country.""The user interface, in general, can be better. The user interface for the entire Amazon cloud can be more friendly. There are some scenarios that are not really easy to manage and configure through the user interface.""The integration could be improved.""I am not completely satisfied with Technical Support.""Monitoring could be improved."
