We performed a comparison between Apigee, Microsoft Azure 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 most valuable feature of the current version of Apigee, such as Apigee Edge, is that the maintenance and scalability of the service are not our responsibility. As a SaaS platform, Google takes care of it, ensuring the system is stable. Another valuable feature is the ability to customize the platform extensively. We can add JavaScript functionality to cater to any use case that is not available out of the box."
"Apigee is relatively easy to use for developers."
"The initial setup was easy - there was an onboarding document with steps that we followed."
"Apigee is a great product with good feedback and recommendations from clients."
"The central monitoring feature is the most valuable. It also provides security for the APIs and high availability for our use cases. Apigee is the best product in the industry in comparison to other API management solutions. It helps in fast development, which is a top point. It also supports a lot of industry standards and has excellent documentation."
"Items around the mobilization of the API interface and the ability to automate validations for our APIs are the most valuable aspects."
"The developer portal is very useful to customers."
"It is easy to deploy, configure, and monitor the APA."
"I like that security features can be integrated with API Management. I also like that you can perform rate-limiting and throttling functions."
"The package as a whole is useful for our customers."
"The user management is pretty seamless."
"I like the stability and the ease of use."
"The solution has overall high performance."

"It is easy to work with ."
"When we did the product evaluation, we saw that TIBCO Mashery offers end-to-end API life cycle management. It provides all API features that are required for managing the complete life cycle. It includes the developer portal and tools for API monitorization. The out-of-box security features that TIBCO Mashery provides are enterprise-grade, which gives it an edge over other API products."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to have different packages based on the API keys. The same core system can have different packages based on different environments."
"Very few outages or SLA issues."
"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."
"The most valuable aspect of Mashery is its stability."
"Development IDE, especially for Architect Review."
"It is an expensive solution."
"The initial setup is not straightforward, particularly for hybrid solutions."
"The solution tends to hide the limitations to keep selling the product."
"Apigee's user interface could be more straightforward and have more options. Also, it would be nice if it were ready to work out of the box without so much configuration."
"I would like them to add features, such as caching and mediation policies."
"The solution is pretty expensive."
"Access restrictions can be improved."
"They need to work on the third party integrations."
"In the next release, Azure APIM should include deployment in various environments and CI/CD for deployment."
"Performance issues from this platform need to be sorted out."
"Azure is our most expensive resource; it's costly."
"The user interface needs improvement."
"Support for GraphQL could be better."
"Price is the first thing that comes to mind. It's quite expensive, which could be a barrier for some users."
"Microsoft Azure API Management's most valuable features are the microservices we used to use. They were API callers to receive communication with the network and building system, to complete the request. The response would be through the processing system."
"The management console of API and customers' applications are not the most intuitive."
"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."
"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."
"Policy management has been a bit of a concern."
"TIBCO Cloud API Management should improve its installation and make it easy."
"We observed delays under heavy load conditions, and without proper tuning, changes could take an extended period to filter and become effective."
"I'd like to see TIBCO integrate authentication and security features into Mashery."
"It lacks many features at the API gateway compared to other solutions."
