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."This product is a ten when it comes to API management."
"The administration tool for this solution is good."
"We like the portal for documentation a lot."
"The most valuable features are security enforcement and throttling."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is security."
"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."
"I don't believe the Salesforce has been fully utilized yet. It gives us quick engagement."
"What I like the most about the solution is that it comes with ready-made tools like handling security tokens and OAuth."
"The most valuable aspect of this solution for me has been the configuration-based UI. Once you get the hang of it, it enables you to easily develop an API. In addition, it has many in-built policies that are quite handy."
"Within the new version, webMethods API Gateway gives us an end-to-end lifecycle from the creation of the API up into the development, deployment, and promotion into production/live. The current end-to-end lifecycle of the API gives us enough authority and governance of the API. We know what are currently live services, what is in the testing stage of development, and what version that has been commissioned. So, the full life cycle itself gives us full authority and governance of the API."
"It's a good tool, and it has a stable messaging broker."
"In the API gateway, there is a new feature that allows us to filter logs within a payload. This has been a useful feature."
"I like the solution's policies, transformation, mediation, and routing features."
"There were no complexities involved in the setup phase...The product is able to meet my company's API protection needs."
"The cloud version of the solution is very easy to set up."
"The installation process is a bit complex and it could be a lot simpler."
"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 product shows a lack of maturity. The setup is difficult, the tech support and community are lacking, and it is not very stable."
"Sometimes we find bugs where certain calls are not returning all the data we need."
"It would be great if they have an asset report. It's hard to get support for that."
"The API Mocking tools need to be improved."
"Areas of improvement include marketing and enhancing the data products area by using ETIs."
"The portal still has room for improvement."
"Understanding the overall architecture is difficult."
"In terms of improvements, maybe on the API monetization side, having users able to create separate consumption plans and throttle all those consumption plans towards the run time could be better."
"The high price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"With performance, there is room for improvement in regards to if we would like to put another extra layer of security on it, such as SSL. This is affecting their performance quite significantly. They need to improve the process of managing the SSL and other things inside their solutions, so there will not be quite such a significant impact to the performance."
"The price has room for improvement."
"With respect to the API gateway, the runtime component, the stability after a new release is something that can be improved."
"There are things that could be improved with the webMethods API gateway. One thing is that it's too attached to the integration service and we'd like it to be a little bit more independent. We would like for them to separate operations so that it doesn't rely on the bulky integration server and so that it can be used everywhere."
"They should develop clear visibility for the onboarding."
