We performed a comparison between IBM API Connect and TIBCO Cloud API Management based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."It allows enterprises to expose some of their tech to outside stakeholders."
"It is quite stable. We've not had any problem. It has made for a good buy because we are finding that other companies that have similar set ups go down maybe once a month."
"API Connect's most valuable feature is its ability to act as a gateway. It's very easy to configure security and everything else in it. You don't have to kill yourself implementing custom configurations."
"API Connect is a very good platform for the development of APIs."
"Security is well organized and managed within the solution."
"I have found the API Management to be most valuable."
"API Connect is a good product, and everything works fine. All the analytics are good, and it is easy to follow up. I like it in that sense. I'm more focused on following up on analytics by seeing how many API calls we are getting and where we see a lot of problems. I was working on that API level."
"In-built policies and security functions."
"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."
"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."
"Conversion to RESTful and SOAP protocols and management console (can manage individually throttled settings to manage our service levels for customers)."
"It is easy to work with ."
"We can completely manage the APIs at the org level and BU (business unit) level."
"This has provided a new stream of traffic and exposure of our catalogue beyond the normal web store offering."
"The most valuable aspect of Mashery is its stability."
"Very few outages or SLA issues."
"The product's setup phase and its setup for the users in different environments, along with DevOps integration, are areas of concern where there is a need for improvement."
"The administration of the user interface and the technical documentation are areas of concern in the solution where improvements are required."
"We've had some issues upgrading to the latest version of the solution."
"The implementation process could benefit from improvements, as it may take some time to become accustomed to the deployment."
"Automation for our Domino applications could be improved."
"The developer portal could be easier to customize."
"Possible improvement is mainly around having more of the cloud oriented architecture bringing stability in adding new capabilities around security."
"They seem to have left out a feature for microservices and also a certification module for OIDC."
"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."
"The management console of API and customers' applications are not the most intuitive."
"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."
"TIBCO Cloud API Management should improve its installation and make it easy."
"We observed delays under heavy load conditions, and without proper tuning, changes could take an extended period to filter and become effective."
"The way agile life cycle is working needs improvement. I also want to see more support for open API standards. I want to see some improvement on the protocol transformation. That is quite missing now. These are the three main issues."
"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."
"It lacks many features at the API gateway compared to other solutions."
