Microsoft Azure API Management Reviews

Most of the features are valuable to me. We are actively exploring the monetization aspect of Azure, and we are also working on a proof of concept to accomplish this.

The only complication I encountered was configuring the authentication in the API Management. That was a little difficult for me, but it gets better after that.

I could that the UI could be improved. All services have the use of Visual Studio to do the coding and to change the configuration. It would be beneficial to include that with Microsoft Azure API Management.

I have been working with Microsoft Azure API Management for more than two years.

Microsoft Azure API Management is a stable product.

It is easy to scale Microsoft Azure API Management.

We have fast-track support from Microsoft, which we do receive.

We are satisfied with the technical support of Microsoft.

The initial setup was simple, with no complications, other than the configuration of the authentication in the API Management.

Since everyone is isocentric here, it is reasonable for me. Rather than getting complicated with other licensing, and other products' licensing. There are many, many different types of licensing available in other products, such as perpetual for ten users. If you want more than ten users, you'll have to pay a higher license fee. As a result, we are not falling into those kinds of traps. Previously, we had to pay as you go.

I would rate Microsoft Azure API Management eight out of ten.

My primary use case is application monitoring.

We had all our Saas applications on the cloud, so it's easier to centralize everything in Azure, including configuration and maintenance. There's also no need to get another portal for maintenance on additional things, so we can monitor the issue directly.

The most valuable features are the Active Directory integration and wireless backup.

Azure API Management could be improved with better integration with all of Microsoft's tools. They should also provide basic cybersecurity tools in the package.

I've been using this solution for two years.

Azure API Manager is stable.

This solution is scalable.

Microsoft's technical support is helpful, although there are some issues with time zones.

Positive

The initial setup was easy - it didn't take long, and the additional features were added normally.

We implemented using an integrator.

There are no additional costs above the main license.

We're very satisfied with Azure API Management. We've had no issues with bugs, everything runs smoothly, and the connection between the cloud and the on-premise infrastructure was good. I would rate this solution nine out of ten.

Our company has some internal APIs and we use Microsoft Azure API Management to help keep everyone on the same page.

The most valuable feature of Microsoft Azure API Management is the developer portal because it's very quick and easy to get something published.

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.

In a feature release, there could be a better Canary release. They have a release but you need to code it yourself.

I have been using Microsoft Azure API Management for approximately two and a half years.

We have approximately 30 people using the solution in my company.

The support from Microsoft Azure API Management is okay.

The initial setup of Microsoft Azure API Management took us three days.

We did the implementation of the solution in-house.

We are paying standard fees to use Microsoft Azure API Management.

My advice to others is before getting into the solution, it is best to be certified so that all of the details you would need to know that are not easily available online, you would be mindful. It is a very good solution, but some features feel hidden at best.

I rate Microsoft Azure API Management an eight out of ten.

We use Microsoft Azure API Management for integration. We use it for managing, monitoring, and integrating with other systems, for example, for asset management and monitoring tools. If we want to integrate or enable monitoring and management, we use Microsoft Azure API Management.

What I like most about Microsoft Azure API Management is that it's flexible and user-friendly. The solution also has rich documentation and guides available, so users can configure and use it.

What would make Microsoft Azure API Management better are more APIs. They keep updating their APIs, but it would be better if the solution had more APIs for the services and more integration with other platforms.

I've been using Microsoft Azure API Management for the last six to eight months.

Microsoft Azure API Management is a scalable solution. You can customize it, and you can also use your scripts with it.

The installation process for Microsoft Azure API Management was easy.

I don't remember licensing information or costs for Microsoft Azure API Management.

Microsoft Azure API Management is used by over a hundred development teams for developing solutions, including integrations. Currently, there's no plan to increase its usage.

I would recommend the solution to other people who want to start using it.

I would rate Microsoft Azure API Management eight out of ten.

We primarily use the solution for storage. It’s for a database backup.

We really like the scalability.

It’s easy to set up.

The cloud deployment performance could be better.

Technical support could use some improvement.

I’ve been using the solution for three years.

It is stable. However, its performance is not better than an on-premises deployment.

The solution can scale and is easy to expand. It’s actually quite impressive.

We have about ten clients using the solution.

Technical support could be better. There’s a lot of bouncing around. It’s not orderly.

It is a straightforward setup. The implementation is not difficult or complex. The deployment is quick as well. It only took two or three days to get everything up and running.

We have about five technical people who can handle the setup and implementation process.

We are a Microsoft-managed partner, so we do have some pricing from the distributor.

The licensing is dynamic as it is based on cloud usage.

I can recommend Azure Block Storage to other people. However, they need to have an open mind in order to use cloud storage.

I’d rate the solution an eight out of ten.

The ability to easily connect back to Service Fabric is the most important for us.

The importing of existing APIs is extremely easy. It's one of the better products.

The main benefit is that we are already on ExpressRoute. It is easy to integrate into our local network. Because we are mostly a Microsoft shop, we mostly use Azure API management because we don't want to run in different cloud providers right now since we are a financial company.

Microsoft Azure API Management should have the ability to allow multitenancy.

While the solution works well for us, I would like to see simple or integrated reporting built into the solution.

There is always room for improvement.

I have been using Microsoft Azure API Management for two years.

Microsoft Azure API Management is extremely stable.

Microsoft Azure API Management is very easy to scale.

I don't have any prior experience. We haven't had any issues or needed to contact the product's technical support.

The initial setup is straightforward. It is very easy to set up.

Because everything is automated directly from our pipelines, maintenance is a very small task that we require.

It is very easy to deploy, and configure.

We are partners.

I would rate Microsoft Azure API Management an eight out of ten.

We have been using this solution to protect our APIs and to decouple our APIs between the host versus the outside world. It operates as a gateway pattern in front of the APIs.

We use this solution for API rate limiting and for its security features against DDoS.

The scalability of this solution could be improved. The volume which the API Management task service can handle needs to be improved. Cost wise, this solution could be optimized.

This is a stable solution.

This is not a scalable solution. 

The customer service and support for this solution is average. They have not been able to provide a solution to some of the challenges we have faced. 

Neutral

The initial setup is not complex as this is a PaaS-based solution.

This is an expensive solution. 

I would advise others to evaluate their volumes, nonfunctional requirements, and just check whether the NFR performance metrics of API Management has been met. Otherwise, better take a trade-off between, because we have gone through the hard path, tried everything using it, and then we have moved from API Management to Apigee.

I would rate this solution a seven out of ten. 

Our company uses the solution for API orchestration and UI management. We currently have 50,000 users. 

The UI management is very easy to use. 

The solution provides good management of API orchestrations. 

Technical support is very good and moves very fast. 

The API gateway can be very complex. We had difficulty managing end users for a very, very complex project. 

I am not sure that another API gateway would have better handled this difficult project. 

I have been using the solution for four years. 

The solution is stable. 

The solution is scalable. 

We have a partnership with Microsoft. Their support is very good and moves very fast. They are available to us in a maximum of ten to twenty minutes. 

The setup is very easy and doesn't take long. 

We implemented the solution in-house. 

I also use WSO2 and Kong. Of all the options, Kong is my preference because it is easier to use. 

The solution's support is very good. 

I rate the solution an eight out of ten.
