Microsoft Azure API Management Reviews

I am a direct consultant, and I'm using it in my projects to collect the APIs and to provide API management for different APIs with the upstream and downstream. Additionally, I'm using it to streamline operations where any upstream or downstream applications need to give the collective API. I use API Management as a gateway, providing authentication and authorization. When APIs are authenticated, the upstream or downstream verification is sent to our solutions.

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.

Our primary use case for Microsoft Azure API Management is to front internal APIs and make them cloud-compatible. It adds extra authentication on top of old APIs and acts as a proxy towards internal APIs, providing a single endpoint that can manage multiple APIs behind it. This is particularly useful for large companies with numerous APIs, as it helps share and create visibility for different services.

Microsoft Azure API Management helps improve our organization by providing a way to front internal APIs, add extra authentication, and create visibility for different services. It allows for secure and manageable API interactions, particularly beneficial for large companies with multiple APIs.

I use Microsoft Azure API Management (APIM). Ask me questions about Microsoft Azure API Management to know my opinion.

The functionality in Microsoft Azure API Management that I find most valuable is enabling headers, which allows me to troubleshoot issues that occur on the customer side. When something happens on the customer side, certain headers are visible in the APIM logs but not in the corresponding Application Insights log when it goes to the corresponding microservice.

In our architecture, it first goes to APIM as an orchestration layer, and then it goes to the individual microservice layer. For instance, if we discuss the payment API call, it first happens in the APIM section and then goes to the corresponding microservices. The part of APIM that I find very useful is enabling headers for troubleshooting, which you cannot do from the microservice layer logs; you can only do it from the APIM logs.

The tool provides the data in an API, and our company fetches that data to our clients' websites. We also provide API data to the clients we handle.

The solution's most valuable feature is that it is very simple to manage, especially because I have good experience with Microsoft products. The tool is very easy to use and manage APIs.

We are working on almost everything Microsoft Businesses, Dynamics CRM and Dynamics FinOps ERP. We are utilizing Microsoft Azure hosting platform. We are using API service, Azure functions, event grid, API Management, and all types of Azure services on a need basis.

The integration and API Connect are valuable when we need to connect with web services and REST APIs. Microsoft Azure API Management covers all the security guidelines, security standards, compliance, which includes data security at rest and in transit, making it good from a security perspective.

It is being used for Oracle databases i.e., API management. We use it on our platform for employee travel bookings and for integrating financial data with our end-user database. It is a seamless bridge between those systems. We've also built a custom TXO dashboard for our CFO and management team.

We're still in the early stages of exploring its full potential. It's a new implementation, so we haven't fully formed our opinions yet. But it's promising! We're cautiously optimistic about its capabilities.

We use Azure API Management as a migration tool and for security. We have services interfacing with Boomi and APG, and we're migrating them to Azure API Management and Azure Logic App. This involves writing integration logic in Logic API and exposing APIs securely to external networks. We also integrate Snowflake with ServiceNow data using Kafka and Azure API.

Our primary advantage with Azure API Management is the ability to achieve real-time data updates for user queries. This is vital in retail, where customer concerns need immediate attention. By using Azure API Management with Snowflake and Kafka, we maintain accuracy and speed in our data processes and transactions.
