We performed a comparison between Axway AMPLIFY API Management and Microsoft Azure API Management based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two API Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We like the portal for documentation a lot."
"The most valuable features are security enforcement and throttling."
"This platform can be highly scalable."
"Most of the features are valuable to me."
"The solution has overall high performance."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Azure API Management is the developer portal because it's very quick and easy to get something published."
"Everything is already available and ready to operate without a lot of preparation work."
"The stability and performance are good. It is easy to install, and it scales well too."
"Azure APIM's best features are its straightforward access management (it's a single point of access for all monitoring and logging and for policy implementation) and its integration with the Azure Cloud infrastructure."
"The initial setup is not that complex, but there are certain challenges."
"API Management does not take long to deploy."
"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."
"The portal still has room for improvement."
"Technical support could be more helpful and responsive."
"Microsoft Azure API Management should have the ability to allow multitenancy."
"From my understanding, there are some constraints around governance and service-to-service intercommunication managing priorities and our own governance."
"If I compare this solution to others I have used in other phases of my life, having APIM being an Azure resource, it is easy to configure and deploy. However, this conversely reduced the flexibility. The difficulty is how do we configure it in a manner that a larger enterprise would probably want it to be. This creates a bit more complexity, working around the constraints of the resource itself. If comparing it to other solutions, it is more of a legacy design with an older approach. The various level components are still around resembling an on-premise type of design similar to other solutions, such as Apigee or Mulesoft. They are still predominantly carrying some legacy design. Which might be suited for organizations where they have a more complex network layout. APIM is easy to deploy, but on the other side of that, it is constrained to how Azure has designed it to be."
"In the API you need to delete the suffix. It is annoying that you need to have a suffix. We can add a suffix at the API level, not at the operation level, and that could be improved on."
"I would like to see more security features become available."
"The integration with other API gateways is where they might try to improve."
"It would be better if it were easier to transition to Azure from JIRA. For example, different nomenclature must be performed when you shift to Azure from JIRA. JIRA's storage, tasks, and ethics are treated differently from Azure. Here they might become functions, which is not an option in JIRA because that nomenclature difference is there. If someone has to get into the nomenclature, then there can be different tasks from clients, and here, they may be treated as functions. JIRA has sub-tasks, but sub-tasks don't exist in Azure. The nomenclature and the linking between ethics and a function and a story are different, and people may have to learn to adapt to the new nomenclature."
