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 API management is very good."
"I like that security features can be integrated with API Management. I also like that you can perform rate-limiting and throttling functions."
"Microsoft Azure API Management is 90 to 99 percent scalable. We have three instances running in parallel."
"The product gives API gateway-related features, like throttling, which are easy to use and low-code/no-code."
"We use Microsoft due to the stability of the company."
"It's very well integrated with the Azure environment."
"The API management is great."
"Easy to integrate API management platform. It is a stable and scalable solution."
"You can set up workflows and write limited pieces of logic."
"The feature I find most valuable is that this solution allows us to manage our security."
"It is a good product for API management."
"The scalability is very good. That was a key factor in the selection, like how it could be pushed to high volume and scalability, which seemed to be very good."
"The most valuable feature is the load balancing with the circuit-breaker function."
"The portal for developers that this solution provides has great functionality."
"Performance issues from this platform need to be sorted out."
"Microsoft Azure API Management is lagging behind Apigee and should also have a better CICD process."
"The portal where we publish the APIs could be improved. Maybe this is because we didn't configure it. It is quite easy to bypass API management because we have a lot of information shared on the portal, where we publish our APIs. I worry there is potential for a security breach in the API publishing. There needs to be more security available on terms of the way we publish them."
"The API gateway can be very complex."
"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."
"API Management's price could be lower."
"The external policies are impossible to look at and configure."
"One of the most important improvements for us would be if it supported the HTTP/3 version and new protocol over a quick connection."
"We ran it for a while, but then we decided to move away from Tyk, because Tyk's cloud version, the SaaS version, has a significant limitation of limited flexibility, so you can't program very much."
"Sometimes when new features are released, they are not immediately stable."
"We would like a better tool for generating documentation for the APIs to be developed."
"In terms of our usage, the main area of concern is that they tend to build enhancements slightly ahead of the considerations for what those enhancements and extensions are. So it could be slightly better communication with the customer base that would be my main issue with them."
"I would like to see some additional features like having some extensions for .NET core because we use it for our back-end language."
"It is a young product and does not have the kind of brand recognition that would make it a more popular solution with our clients."
