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.

Enables ease of customization, but there could be a highly secure functionality
The most valuable features of Red Hat Integration lie in its ease of customization for business needs and the flexibility to design workflows according to specific requirements. The seamless authentication process offers the ability to adapt to organizational structures, such as leaving a bonded organization. Additionally, it provides better integration with SIP services than Cisco. Also, it is an open-source product with free registration and availability of information within a few minutes.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It's a very robust tool. So you see that there is a developer portal which can be used by developer or the vendors as well. And other external partners to create keys and manage their own APIs. The other thing is that they have a lot of policies there are too many options within API. So I do the difficult to tell one, but probably I would say, like, proxy sorry. The policies is one of the thing wherein you can just configure the policies and modify the behavior of the APIs."
"The stability and performance are good. It is easy to install, and it scales well too."
"The API management is very good."
"The ability to easily connect back to Service Fabric is the most important for us."
"Initial setup was quite easy."
"We're pretty much using all of the monetizations features out of the API manager so we can put up a portal and have a dev portal and then a prod portal and do rate limiting."
"Most of the features are valuable to me."
"It's easy to use compared to other products. It's easy to set up."
"The most valuable features of Red Hat Integration lie in its ease of customization for business needs and the flexibility to design workflows according to specific requirements."
 

Cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Compared to other solutions the cost is a seven out of ten."

"Licensing fees are paid on an annual basis."
"It is an expensive solution, but any API solution will be expensive."
"There are additional costs to the standard licensing fees."
"The solution is highly expensive. Our customers worry about the costs. The price should be a lot less."
