"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Azure API Management is the developer portal because it's very quick and easy to get something published."
"Microsoft Azure API Management is better because it has a DevOps integration by default."

"The ability to easily connect back to Service Fabric is the most important for us."
"It's easy to use compared to other products. It's easy to set up."
"The most valuable features of Microsoft Azure API Management are the easy configuration and deployment with automation."
"Swagger (OpenAPI Specification) and Blueprint Support"

"I would like an integrated option to download a Swagger version of the definition."
"Azure API Management could be improved with better integration with all of Microsoft's tools."
"An area for improvement in Microsoft Azure API Management is deployment, in particular, the deployment of versions in Oryx. The development to production instance isn't adequate for me and needs to be improved. Microsoft Azure API Management lacks automation, which is another area for improvement."
"The developer console for external users could be improved, especially in the testing site."
"They need to work on the third party integrations."
"Azure is our most expensive resource; it's costly."
"The portal where we publish the APIs could be improved. Maybe this is because we didn't configure it. It is quite easy to bypass API management because we have a lot of information shared on the portal, where we publish our APIs. I worry there is potential for a security breach in the API publishing. There needs to be more security available on terms of the way we publish them."
"This solution is only available as a cloud-based deployment and it would be very helpful to have an on-premises version."
"The licensing tiers can be misleading."
