Featured Reviews

ShashankRavikumar - PeerSpot reviewer
Enables real-time insights and secure API management for efficient customer interactions
The main improvement needed is the ability to have different base URLs for HTTP and HTTPS for different clients. Currently, I can have only one base URL for one atom. It would help if I could set up a proxy with different URLs within Boomi as a simple configuration instead of needing external applications. Also, Boomi can integrate AI to manage backend loads and provide insights into runtime engine consumption.
Praveen_Srivastava - PeerSpot reviewer
Streamlined operations with gateway and authentication features
Azure API Management has helped streamline our operations by acting as a gateway for upstream and downstream applications. It provides authentication and authorization, ensuring that both verified and suspicious users are managed efficiently. The use of analytics within API Management is also valuable for tracking user behavior and ensuring security.

Quotes from Members

Pros

"Boomi AtomSphere API Management is a good product for integrating with Boomi as a backend service."
"AtomSphere is tightly integrated into the Boomi iPaaS platform. And Boomi has been augmenting AtomSphere API Management for the past couple of years so version 2.0 is better than 1.0."
"The stability of the solution is good."
"We can develop almost any interface that we need."
"The product's stability is good."
"Boomi allows for more secure URLs and easy customization of HTTP and HTTPS protocols, which I find very beneficial."
"AtomSphere API Management is a simple platform that's easy to use. If you're using it on-prem, there's a little learning curve."
"Integrations take less time."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Azure API Management is the developer portal because it's very quick and easy to get something published."
"I have found this solution to be easy to configure, simple to use, and flexible."
"The documentation and configuration of APIs."
"I like the API Management functions."
"I like that security features can be integrated with API Management. I also like that you can perform rate-limiting and throttling functions."
"Azure API is scalable."
"The integration and API Connect are valuable when we need to connect with web services and REST APIs."
"Azure API Management is an API gateway that can be used for different purposes, for example, to monetize APIs."
 

Cons

"The product is really complex to manage."
"Boomi AtomSphere API Management can be improved in terms of threshold management and policy management."
"Most of the basic functionality is there in Boomi, but APG is a more feature-rich solution."
"Scalability is an area where Boomi lacks."
"To some degree, you need to know what type or amount of API you are creating - whether it's a rest API or web service API. You need to know ETL in order to really get the most out of Boomi."
"The API management has room for improvement."
"The solution must provide more AI services."
"From an improvement perspective, the price could be cheaper."
"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."
"The cloud deployment performance could be better."
"Microsoft Azure API Management's most valuable features are the microservices we used to use. They were API callers to receive communication with the network and building system, to complete the request. The response would be through the processing system."
"When you start with Azure API management, you also need to onboard the Azure console and the Azure cloud environment, which comes with a price."
"The developer console for external users could be improved, especially in the testing site."
"I would like to see better scalability and better performance."
"They're trying to implement versioning and trying to be able to manage different versions of your API all at the same time, but they're not doing that just quite right yet."
"Microsoft Azure API Management is lagging behind Apigee and should also have a better CICD process."
