We performed a comparison between TIBCO Cloud API Management and Tyk 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 reason why we selected the solution originally was because of its ability to have a gateway both on-premise and in the cloud. This is the most valuable aspect of the solution for us."
"The most valuable aspect of Mashery is its stability."
"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."
"Very few outages or SLA issues."
"It is easy to work with ."
"This has provided a new stream of traffic and exposure of our catalogue beyond the normal web store offering."
"Conversion to RESTful and SOAP protocols and management console (can manage individually throttled settings to manage our service levels for customers)."
"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."
"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 feature I find most valuable is that this solution allows us to manage our security."
"The portal for developers that this solution provides has great functionality."
"It is a good product for API management."
"You can set up workflows and write limited pieces of logic."
"The most valuable feature is the load balancing with the circuit-breaker function."
"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."
"TIBCO Cloud API Management should improve its installation and make it easy."
"We observed delays under heavy load conditions, and without proper tuning, changes could take an extended period to filter and become effective."
"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."
"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."
"Policy management has been a bit of a concern."
"I'd like to see TIBCO integrate authentication and security features into Mashery."
"Sometimes when new features are released, they are not immediately stable."
"I would like to see some additional features like having some extensions for .NET core because we use it for our back-end language."
"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."
"We would like a better tool for generating documentation for the APIs to be developed."
"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."
"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."
