Comprehensive API management has improved monetization and streamlined secure integrations
Axway AMPLIFY API Management could be improved in terms of user interface and navigation, as it could be more user-friendly. There are no helping resources such as question marks or help icons to easily identify elements, making it difficult for new users to learn the platform without some form of training. The configuration and policy setups also require multiple steps, which complicates the process, and it would be easier if some steps could be skipped. Better analytics and reporting capabilities should provide improved trackability for API performance and consumer behavior. Documentation for advanced use cases would help reduce the learning curve. However, when trying to integrate with third parties, it can be quite difficult and requires a lot of authentication and authorization, which is better for security but poses challenges for new users trying to connect with a third party to transfer data between platforms. Additionally, the customization options for the dashboard are very limited, which restricts my ability to customize the entire dashboard meaningfully.

Unified API gateway has reduced tool sprawl and has improved traffic control and observability
I give Gloo Platform a rating of 10 out of 10 because I genuinely appreciate it; it has all the features and requirements that I need. I give it a 10 because it fits my use case perfectly, enabling me to achieve my objectives, and I genuinely appreciate the Gloo Platform community and the people there. Regarding Gloo Platform's AI capabilities, I find them beneficial because they recently added agentic features and many AI capabilities that I find helpful. The accuracy and reliability of Gloo Platform's AI features is mostly consistent, although sometimes it does experience hallucinations. If you need a solution that provides management for your APIs along with features such as rate limiting, mTLS, and other functionalities, I would recommend Gloo Platform; it is truly excellent. I rated this review 10 out of 10.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I don't believe the Salesforce has been fully utilized yet. It gives us quick engagement."
"Centralized API Platform allow us better reusability and monitoring"
"The administration tool for this solution is good."
"In general, API governance provides a better experience for providers."
"Axway is a good product according to Gartner which is why we started to adopt it."
"I would recommend the solution for other people who want to start using it."
"It provides very strong security functionality to protect information in an easier way."
"The most valuable features are security enforcement and throttling."
"You don't need many frameworks or other things to run Glue."
"Gloo Platform's features are optimal for my use case because I have numerous applications and microservices running, requiring rate limiting and traffic management integrated into one platform, which proves very beneficial."
 

Cons

"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."
"Areas of improvement include marketing and enhancing the data products area by using ETIs."
"I have experienced issues with Axway AMPLIFY API Management's stability at times, particularly when there are a large number of API calls."
"The product shows a lack of maturity. The setup is difficult, the tech support and community are lacking, and it is not very stable."
"Not a ten because of the pricing and technical support."
"The installation process is a bit complex and it could be a lot simpler."
"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 API Mocking tools need to be improved."
"I sometimes face issues with integration."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is expensive. When you acquire a license you have full access to the solution, unlike other competitors such as Apigee X, where there are fragmented licenses. Some licenses only allow access to certain features while others allow access to more features. Upon procuring this solution's license, you will have full access to the solution, allowing you to experiment with all of its features."
