"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."
"The solution is a good general API manager. They have a few propriety features but are offering items that are standard in the industry as well."
"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."

"As well as the SOA Gateway - that is, the API Gateway; we call it the SOA Gateway - we also are now deploying the developer portal component of the SOA Gateway. That has limitations."
"Layer7 API Management’s price could be reduced."
"The cloud-native architecture of the product needs improvement."
"There is a need for the migration of policies, better reporting, and monitoring integration."
"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 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."
"I'd like to see TIBCO integrate authentication and security features into Mashery."
"We observed delays under heavy load conditions, and without proper tuning, changes could take an extended period to filter and become effective."
"TIBCO Cloud API Management should improve its installation and make it easy."
"Policy management has been a bit of a concern."
"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."
