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.

Self-hosted media streaming has become secure and automated, and certificate management is simplified
I think Traefik Enterprise can be improved with native multi-cluster control plane syncing. For example, when using syncing similar to Kubernetes, Traefik Enterprise could also utilize multi-cluster control plane syncing. I believe it could improve some documentation context. Sometimes it supports many dynamic provider environments, but the documentation for each dynamic provider is not comprehensive. I think that can be improved. The dashboard could also be enhanced, such as managing any network operation or providing a toggle for a maintenance page. Those things can be improved in the UI dashboard. Traefik Enterprise can be improved with things such as hard controller defenses for distributed rate limiting, high-capacity log streaming buffering, and implementing some asynchronous configurable non-blocking internal ring buffer mechanisms in log shipping. Additional improvements could include native blue-green canary automation, fragmented CLI engine management, such as using the control plane operation in Kubernetes, open API driver REST endpoints, removing unnecessary maintenance, and separating the operational libraries such as TCTL. Those kinds of small improvements could be made.

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."
"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."
"Centralized API Platform allow us better reusability and monitoring"
"I don't believe the Salesforce has been fully utilized yet. It gives us quick engagement."
"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."
"This product is reliable and stable."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is security."
"Traefik Enterprise has made it so easy to set up, and I have noticed a positive impact on my organization with its ease of configuration."
"The tool handles scalability pretty easily. Adding more instances of services and all are pretty intuitive to do using Traefik Enterprise."
"We migrated successfully across all our production environments, and it is working smoothly with very smooth handling of ingresses and traffic."
"Using Traefik Enterprise and Let's Encrypt provides dynamic certificate provisioning, and instead of setting up SSL certificates for 20 or more Docker applications individually, I set up Traefik Enterprise one time and it saved approximately 20 to 30 hours of maintenance per week while also preventing port overlap and managing automatic TLS upgrades from HTTP to HTTPS immediately."
"Traefik Enterprise has a positive impact on my organization mainly by providing visibility and data governance."
"One of the best features that Traefik Enterprise offers, without a doubt, is the advanced control; we are able to have native protection directly at the entry point, with the OWASP Top 10 and the WAF."
"Traefik Enterprise brought us an easier way because we faced a problem with Ingress Nginx, we needed another tool which could replace our current stack, we found Traefik easily and discovered how it is installed, and in most cases, it is easy to work with it."
"Traefik Enterprise is helping us tremendously because we do not need to manage multiple service domains."
 

Cons

"This solution does have some limitations regarding the deployment model."
"Ultimately, from a very high-level overview, cloud platforms or Kong could have a slight advantage when compared to Axway AMPLIFY API Management."
"Team management capabilities could be improved."
"I have experienced issues with Axway AMPLIFY API Management's stability at times, particularly when there are a large number of API calls."
"The portal still has room for improvement."
"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."
"A significant area of improvement for Axway AMPLIFY API Management is the Amplify Central portal, which should help expose APIs on a webpage for potential customers."
"The problem I see today with the middlewares is that they do not add rules."
"One should be able to just check things straight up from the UI and get to know what kind of issues are there in the solution, and even though such a feature is already there in the tool, there is more work to be done in it."
"I would appreciate improvements to the user interface because it currently appears generic."
"I do not see many points for improvement in Traefik Enterprise at the moment; the only point might be the documentation—making it available in more languages and a bit more friendly for those who are just starting out, because we had some difficulty at the beginning and had to look for some information and courses elsewhere."
"With Traefik, there are a lot of files that should be specified for Traefik. With Nginx, we have one file, which is Ingress Nginx, but with Traefik, there is more than one file you need to configure to work it as well."
"I think Traefik Enterprise can be improved with native multi-cluster control plane syncing."
"Overall, my experience with Traefik Enterprise was positive, but I think the learning curve could be improved, especially for new users."
"I have not seen a return on investment and I am not handling this, so I do not have access to relevant metrics like fewer employees needed or money saved."
 

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."
"I would say that Traefik Enterprise is cheaper than the other alternatives in the market."
