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."I like all of the features in this product and it does what it's supposed to do."
"The solution is scalable, our customers are mostly South African banks and they handle mostly transactions with this solution."
"It can look for the various security threats, productions, payload scanning, and perform routing based on the content type."
"The product's most valuable features are AAA policies and security features."
"The most valuable features for our business include the ability to monitor and log data transactions and handle multiple request at an enterprise level."
"It is very easy to set up and configure, even for users with no prior experience."
"It is easy to use, easy to install, and it's resilient for high availability."
"The most valuable feature is the security appliance, it's very secure."
"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."
"When we did the product evaluation, we saw that TIBCO Mashery offers end-to-end API life cycle management. It provides all API features that are required for managing the complete life cycle. It includes the developer portal and tools for API monitorization. The out-of-box security features that TIBCO Mashery provides are enterprise-grade, which gives it an edge over other API products."
"Very few outages or SLA issues."
"The most valuable aspect of Mashery is its stability."
"The control that we have and the security features are very valuable. With regard to API implementation or API orchestration, it works very well in the cloud because as soon as you create an API with one click, you can actually expose your APIs."
"Conversion to RESTful and SOAP protocols and management console (can manage individually throttled settings to manage our service levels for customers)."
"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 programming language is only supported in XSLT and Gateway script."
"IBM DataPower Gateway is quite big for smaller organizations, looking at different types of clients who are virtually assisted in this, I would say it's not really a good product for smaller firms."
"Some pre-packaged connectors for integration with various applications, such as SaaS offerings, would be a useful addition."
"The initial setup isn't so easy, you need who has experience working with the solution to help."
"The product's cost for data appliances or hardware is quite high. It needs improvement."
"They should improve the solution's clustering features."
"Making it more user-friendly would be an improvement."
"The user interface or the application development perspective and customization of the tool could be a little better."
"We observed delays under heavy load conditions, and without proper tuning, changes could take an extended period to filter and become effective."
"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."
"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."
"It lacks many features at the API gateway compared to other solutions."
"I'd like to see TIBCO integrate authentication and security features into Mashery."
"TIBCO Cloud API Management should improve its installation and make it easy."
"Policy management has been a bit of a concern."
"The management console of API and customers' applications are not the most intuitive."
