We performed a comparison between Apigee, Axway AMPLIFY API Management, and TIBCO Cloud API Management based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Google, Amazon Web Services (AWS) and others in API Management."The solution is stable and reliable."
"It's a good return on my investment."
"It has all the features necessary to work in anything from a basic scenario to advanced applications."
"A special feature is configuring target servers, proxy config, and Cert related security, which regularizes incoming traffic from cloud users or external applications to internal applications in a secured manner."
"Apigee provides out-of-the-box policies, so it is ready to use with minimal configuration to those policies. You can govern your API and manage the life cycle of the API completely with the Apigee tool."
"Apigee has proven to be one of the best of the breed."
"The usability is one of the best aspects of the product."
"The security that you have with Apigee is very good and aligns with compliance."
"We like the portal for documentation a lot."
"This platform can be highly scalable."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is security."
"This product is a ten when it comes to API management."
"The most valuable features are security enforcement and throttling."
"In general, API governance provides a better experience for providers."
"I don't believe the Salesforce has been fully utilized yet. It gives us quick engagement."
"There's drag and drop functionality so that you do not need to have a senior expert developer to make use of the tool. You can get more of your staff trained up to be able to use it as it's not overly technical."
"Very few outages or SLA issues."
"The control that we have and the security features are very valuable. With regard to API implementation or API orchestration, it works very well in the cloud because as soon as you create an API with one click, you can actually expose your APIs."
"Conversion to RESTful and SOAP protocols and management console (can manage individually throttled settings to manage our service levels for customers)."
"The reason why we selected the solution originally was because of its ability to have a gateway both on-premise and in the cloud. This is the most valuable aspect of the solution for us."
"The platform's most valuable features are its capabilities to support security measures such as tokenization, token refresh, throttling, and enforcement of payloads."
"It is easy to work with ."
"The solution is a good general API manager. They have a few propriety features but are offering items that are standard in the industry as well."
"We can completely manage the APIs at the org level and BU (business unit) level."
"Compared to its competitors, such as Axway AMPLIFY API Management and Layer7 API Management, Apigee could benefit from having more policies to cater to various use cases. This would reduce the need for writing custom JavaScripts. If more features come straight out of the box, we can leverage them instead of writing custom code to achieve the same functionality."
"The entire user across all the layers should be singly authenticated through an external authentication system."
"What my clients don't like is that the on-premises solution is not being treated and maintained as well as the cloud solution."
"The analytical aspect of it could be better. I think it is fair if Apigee lets you configure some of the metrics of the key details you want to monitor in terms of analytics."
"It is an expensive solution."
"The solution is pretty expensive."
"I don't have any notes for improvement."
"The caching capabilities are somewhat limited. This is more on the developer-oriented capabilities."
"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 product shows a lack of maturity. The setup is difficult, the tech support and community are lacking, and it is not very stable."
"The installation process is a bit complex and it could be a lot simpler."
"The areas for enhancement should be improving certain filters within the solution. Although they are generally functional, there are occasional problems that could be more precisely adjusted. Additionally, the solution performs well within its workload limitations, but it may not be suitable for scaling up or managing a larger volume of transactions through the gateway. To address this, it may be necessary to adopt a unique architecture rather than relying on traditional pre-packaged options."
"The API Mocking tools need to be improved."
"Sometimes we find bugs where certain calls are not returning all the data we need."
"The portal still has room for improvement."
"This solution does have some limitations regarding the deployment model."
"I'd like to see TIBCO integrate authentication and security features into Mashery."
"The management console of API and customers' applications are not the most intuitive."
"Monetization is not that great in API management. You need customization. Improvements are needed with sandbox local as well as with monetization. Those features are missing."
"The security needs improvement, specifically, propagation of security to an API. Calling other APIs is something that is missing in the product and that makes us think about going to a competitor."
"It lacks many features at the API gateway compared to other solutions."
"They can fix some stability issues and probably make it more user-friendly so that not only an IT savvy person but an end-user can also easily navigate through this solution."
"The way agile life cycle is working needs improvement. I also want to see more support for open API standards. I want to see some improvement on the protocol transformation. That is quite missing now. These are the three main issues."
"We observed delays under heavy load conditions, and without proper tuning, changes could take an extended period to filter and become effective."
