Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""Conversion to RESTful and SOAP protocols and management console (can manage individually throttled settings to manage our service levels for customers).""Very few outages or SLA issues.""This has provided a new stream of traffic and exposure of our catalogue beyond the normal web store offering.""It is easy to work with .""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 platform's most valuable features are its capabilities to support security measures such as tokenization, token refresh, throttling, and enforcement of payloads.""The most valuable aspect of Mashery is its stability."

"The solution is open-source.""WSO2 API Manager is easy to use.""WSO2 is very stable.""Helped us to quickly publish our Microservice APIs and enforcing different policies against them, it comes up with features like Security, Throttling policy and it provides complete access to customize API's which actually saves development effort and time.""Functionality-wise, I like WSO2 API Manager - Publisher API and WSO2 Enterprise Service Bus.""I think the best part about WSO2 API Manager is that it's highly customizable because it's open-source. The partnership model is quite lucrative for us, it helps us to go and pitch to our customers. You can build a lot of business models yourself that you want to use. You are able to do a lot of the solutions.""The solution is stable.""Based on the information I have, the solution's most valuable feature is its capability of implementing custom solutions."

Cons
"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.""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.""We observed delays under heavy load conditions, and without proper tuning, changes could take an extended period to filter and become effective.""Policy management has been a bit of a concern.""I'd like to see TIBCO integrate authentication and security features into Mashery.""The management console of API and customers' applications are not the most intuitive.""It lacks many features at the API gateway compared to other solutions.""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."

More TIBCO Cloud API Management Cons →

"They don't have different URLs for administrators.""The initial setup can be difficult.""We found WSO2 API Manager to be a bit complex.""I think they could greatly improve the general UX with their solutions.""WSO2 API Manager could improve the API approval system.""The professional support and licensing aspects of WSO have been a challenge.""They are developing another platform called Choreo that allows you to create API itself using the WSO2 programming language Ballerina. It would be great if they added a direct connection between Choreo and API Manager, that would be great. I think they are working on that, but I'm not sure.""We had some problems with the reverse proxy not being able to invoke fully qualified domain names, so we have to build some custom scripts to solve this issue."
