We performed a comparison between Microsoft Azure API Management and Pipedream 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."The user management is pretty seamless."
"I have found this solution to be easy to configure, simple to use, and flexible."
"The ability to easily connect back to Service Fabric is the most important for us."
"Without a doubt, it has a very robust, strong marketplace where we can directly integrate with existing APIs and begin working on those."
"It seems quite good so far. It handles our current workload well, and I'm optimistic it can scale effectively as our needs grow."
"The stability and performance are good. It is easy to install, and it scales well too."
"Azure API Management is an API gateway that can be used for different purposes, for example, to monetize APIs."
"The documentation and configuration of APIs."
"It is a developer-friendly platform that allows writing custom scripts."
"The most valuable feature of Pipedream is the ability to use Python code in general."
"The most valuable features of Pipedream are the prebuilt integrations that require no coding."
"The solution enables users to integrate several things."
"Technical support could be more flexible and try to meet the client's needs a bit more effectively."
"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."
"Support for GraphQL could be better."
"Security could be improved."
"Microsoft Azure API Management should have the ability to allow multitenancy."
"The hybrid part could be improved because API Management is entirely cloud-based, but some of our resources are on-prem, so formatting is an issue. Our goal is dual implementation."
"Microsoft Azure API Management could improve the documentation. The documentation feels like marketing information and not sufficient technical information. Your easiest option is to purchase services from a Microsoft partner and this is their marketing."
"If I compare this solution to others I have used in other phases of my life, having APIM being an Azure resource, it is easy to configure and deploy. However, this conversely reduced the flexibility. The difficulty is how do we configure it in a manner that a larger enterprise would probably want it to be. This creates a bit more complexity, working around the constraints of the resource itself. If comparing it to other solutions, it is more of a legacy design with an older approach. The various level components are still around resembling an on-premise type of design similar to other solutions, such as Apigee or Mulesoft. They are still predominantly carrying some legacy design. Which might be suited for organizations where they have a more complex network layout. APIM is easy to deploy, but on the other side of that, it is constrained to how Azure has designed it to be."
"We faced some server timeouts."
"They should give more information about trigger failure."
"Documentation isn't available for everything in the solution, so you may have to figure out a lot of things by yourself."
"There is a potential area for improvement in handling loop operations over items."
