Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Google, Amazon Web Services (AWS) and others in API Management.
"I don't believe the Salesforce has been fully utilized yet. It gives us quick engagement."
"In general, API governance provides a better experience for providers."
"The administration tool for this solution is good."
"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."
"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."
"This platform can be highly scalable."
"The API portal capability is a valuable feature."
"We like the portal for documentation a lot."
"You can create little, custom Java assertions that you can insert to do your business logic, which might not be covered by the commercial product out-of-the-box."
"The speed and versatility in the implementation of APIs without writing a line of code in any programming language."
"The Portal API helps us with deployments. It also helps to have a catalog of everything. The replication is also a critical feature for us. It helps to have a more robust architecture and makes our systems are highly available."
"The latest version that just came out at the first of October really was a powerful move in the right direction. I was very, very pleased with that because it allows now beginning to use information of things. We've got this IOT infrastructure that we can plug into, and for my use cases there are a lot of outdoor sensors that provide valuable information to my customers."
"Key features include: lightweight mediation, transformation from JSON to XML and XML to JSON, API portal and API key management, the Developer Portal, and Circuit Breaker is a cool feature, too."
"We loved the portal part the most, which had monetization and showed how people were using the stuff. It is a good product as a whole and has a lot of microservices and granular features."
"Containerization and the monetization module are quite unique for an API tool... In addition, the development time and rollout time are pretty quick."
"Easy to use, nice UI, and good search functionality."
"The platform's most valuable features are its capabilities to support security measures such as tokenization, token refresh, throttling, and enforcement of payloads."
"This has provided a new stream of traffic and exposure of our catalogue beyond the normal web store offering."
"It is easy to work with ."
"Conversion to RESTful and SOAP protocols and management console (can manage individually throttled settings to manage our service levels for customers)."
"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 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 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."
"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."
"The product shows a lack of maturity. The setup is difficult, the tech support and community are lacking, and it is not very stable."
"Team management capabilities could be improved."
"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."
"Sometimes we find bugs where certain calls are not returning all the data we need."
"The portal still has room for improvement."
"The API Mocking tools need to be improved."
"Areas of improvement include marketing and enhancing the data products area by using ETIs."
"It would be great if they have an asset report. It's hard to get support for that."
"Layer7 API Management could improve by assing more portal-based capabilities."
"The cloud-native architecture of the product needs improvement."
"From the last version, they have added more dashboard support, but there is still a lot they need to improve. In terms of monitoring, it's almost all covered. The interface can be improved, though."
"It is not possible for clients to migrate to a newer version."
"There is a need for the migration of policies, better reporting, and monitoring integration."
"It needs better mobile features and HA configuration."
"The interface is Java which is difficult to make look very nice."
"The portal is not the most intuitive and the way things are displayed makes it difficult to find the information we need."
"The management console of API and customers' applications are not the most intuitive."
"TIBCO Cloud API Management should improve its installation and make it easy."
"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."
"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."
"Policy management has been a bit of a concern."
"It lacks many features at the API gateway compared to other solutions."
"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."
