Sudhanshu Singh - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Amitava Roy - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers pre-built packages for quick and easy onboarding of APIs but configuration is not that easy
The configuration is not that easy. It's not that user-friendly, and security-wise when you try to implement the security layer on top of it, it's not that easy either. There are certain things where the performance is not that great. When the traffic is huge, we see some lag in performance.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature of the solution is security."
"This platform can be highly scalable."
"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."
"In general, API governance provides a better experience for providers."
"We like the portal for documentation a lot."
"The most valuable features are security enforcement and throttling."
"The administration tool for this solution is good."
"This product is a ten when it comes to API management."
"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."
"It is easy to work with ."
"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."
"Very few outages or SLA issues."
"This has provided a new stream of traffic and exposure of our catalogue beyond the normal web store offering."
"TIBCO Cloud API Management has brought numerous benefits for our organization, especially in product maturity and support."
"The solution is a good general API manager. They have a few propriety features but are offering items that are standard in the industry as well."
"The platform's most valuable features are its capabilities to support security measures such as tokenization, token refresh, throttling, and enforcement of payloads."
 

Cons

"The portal still has room for improvement."
"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 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."
"Areas of improvement include marketing and enhancing the data products area by using ETIs."
"This solution does have some limitations regarding the deployment model."
"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 product shows a lack of maturity. The setup is difficult, the tech support and community are lacking, and it is not very stable."
"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."
"We observed delays under heavy load conditions, and without proper tuning, changes could take an extended period to filter and become effective."
"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."
"I'd like to see TIBCO integrate authentication and security features into Mashery."
"The security needs improvement, specifically, propagation of security to an API. Calling other APIs is something that is missing in the product and that makes us think about going to a competitor."
"It's not that user-friendly, and security-wise when you try to implement the security layer on top of it, it's not that easy either."
"The management console of API and customers' applications are not the most intuitive."
"It lacks many features at the API gateway compared to other solutions."
 

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."
"We have secured terms on which we have been happy to renew for a number of years."
"TIBCO Cloud API Management is not an expensive solution."
"Its price is pretty reasonable. There are some lightweight API options available in the market, but given the feature set that TIBCO provides, its price is really reasonable."
"Licensing is quite flexible."
