We get stability, scalability, and security
Axway provides good documentation that newcomers can easily follow, but I believe the initial setup would be tough for someone new. Experienced employees know where everything is and how to do their job, so it would be difficult for a new hire to get up to speed. For an experienced person, I give the initial setup a ten out of ten. Deployment can be considered a hundred lines of code and some a thousand lines. For a simple deployment, it takes 10-15 seconds. And if the environment connectivity is good enough to respond and there is some heavy code that is being deployed, it takes around 30-60 seconds max, if we are referring to the cloud, where the connectivity for the long duration of the calls is there. The total deployment time is one minute to finish up. From the industrial point of view, Europe has a major chunk of users followed by, the US, and then Australia or the Asia-Pacific region.

Offers an interpreted language, which doesn't require compilation and good community support
Glue is not mandatory. It's an option. If you have the learning capability to learn Glue quickly, you can go for it. But there are other alternatives where you will find many articles, study material, and certifications on the internet, apart from Glue. So, if Glue is not mandatory for you, go for something else. If you don't have any other option, go for Glue. But it's not easy because Glue is difficult to learn, and it is difficult to remember the syntax. Every time you need support, if you're going to have a bigger integration or connectivity with third-party libraries or services, you won't find many articles or help on the internet. However, the community is there, but you need to spend some time with them to make them understand the issue. Keeping all these points in mind, I would still suggest that if you have an alternative language to go for, you should go for it. Otherwise, go for Glue. It is not easy for a beginner to learn to use Glue for the first time. There are a few videos and courses available, but it's difficult. It's not as easy as other languages, also in terms of available content. So, it's a bit hard. But once you understand the concept, then you can potentially grasp things further. Overall, I would rate it an eight out of ten because I didn't use Glue for all purposes. I used it mainly for integration and service connectivity.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The administration tool for this solution is good."
"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."
"The most valuable features are security enforcement and throttling."
"The best feature of Axway Amplify API Management is its exceptional level of security, which is highly reassuring, coupled with its remarkable capacity to handle substantial volumes of data in impressively efficient turnaround times."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is security."
"In general, API governance provides a better experience for providers."
"We like the portal for documentation a lot."
"I don't believe the Salesforce has been fully utilized yet. It gives us quick engagement."
"You don't need many frameworks or other things to run Glue."
 

Cons

"The installation process is a bit complex and it could be a lot simpler."
"The API Mocking tools need to be improved."
"It would be great if they have an asset report. It's hard to get support for that."
"Sometimes we find bugs where certain calls are not returning all the data we need."
"The product shows a lack of maturity. The setup is difficult, the tech support and community are lacking, and it is not very stable."
"This solution does have some limitations regarding the deployment model."
"Team management capabilities could be improved."
"Areas of improvement include marketing and enhancing the data products area by using ETIs."
"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."
