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.

Centralized API documentation has supported versioned collaboration across our teams
We have tried automated code generation several times, and I think maybe some people are still using it somewhere, but it is not something that we do as a consolidated practice. At some point, we were missing some tagging of the APIs, and we could not do that. We asked the provider, but I do not believe they added that kind of support. However, we somehow gave up a bit because we are now in the process of moving to different platforms ourselves, so most likely we are not going to invest in improving this integration with SwaggerHub or how we are using it. We will just keep it going for the platform we are leaving, and then because our focus is in a different place, we are not looking to change or do other things. I am not using SwaggerHub's OpenAI management feature. We are not looking much at what they added new. We got some notification that they added things, but we have so many other things to do.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Axway is a good product according to Gartner which is why we started to adopt it."
"We like the portal for documentation a lot."
"For what we do, the API portal capability is the most valuable feature."
"This product is reliable and stable."
"It provides very strong security functionality to protect information in an easier way."
"The administration tool for this solution is good."
"Axway AMPLIFY API Management is niche technology that people prefer because it has emerged beautifully and has very nice support and enterprise-level features which are not provided by cloud Azure or AWS."
"Centralized API Platform allow us better reusability and monitoring"
"You can click & play and add the notation in a human-readable form. Spotlight is also very good in the graphical design of APIs."
"The best feature that SwaggerHub offers is the collaboration capability that helps us the most across all of our teams, as we have a single API infrastructure but several teams working in different areas of these APIs."
"The tool's most valuable feature is licensing."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy and not at all difficult."
"I rate the solution's stability a ten out of ten."
"SwaggerHub plays a crucial role in order to bring teams and automate things faster and also reduce the man-hours and increase the work efficiency."
"Since I started using SwaggerHub, it has had a positive impact on our organization due to better collaboration between developers and the quality assurance team, and it has reduced errors because of its automated validation."
"One of the best features of SwaggerHub is how it allows me to create APIs and control the evolution of APIs within an organization."
 

Cons

"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."
"They should also improve the way that we upgrade from one version to another. In our case, it's been very troublesome."
"Areas of improvement include marketing and enhancing the data products area by using ETIs."
"The portal still has room for improvement."
"The installation process is a bit complex and it could be a lot simpler."
"Ultimately, from a very high-level overview, cloud platforms or Kong could have a slight advantage when compared to Axway AMPLIFY API Management."
"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."
"The review process should be improved. There seem to be some gaps, at least for us, for the editing part because we would like to have a full request review mechanism."
"One of the most difficult things about SwaggerHub is the user interface and its usability, as it can feel quite complex and require too many clicks for simple actions."
"Some areas of SwaggerHub that could be improved include the interface between the code editor and the visual editor, the integration with private APIs, which currently requires an upgraded account."
"SwaggerHub can be improved since the API testing features are limited compared to Postman, and it is somewhat expensive for small teams as paid plans cost a lot."
"The scalability aspect of SwaggerHub can be improved. It becomes a bit unreliable when the load is increased and isn't up to par with expectations for scalability."
"More integration and usability with the cloud microservices would be nice."
"At some point, we were missing some tagging of the APIs, and we could not do that."
"We have to use additional tools to test APIs."
 

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."
"The tool is cheap."
"It has a yearly subscription, but I am not sure."
