We performed a comparison between Microsoft Azure API Management and SwaggerHub 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 most valuable features are the ease of use and it is a platform that has self-enablement for the customers to be able to register themselves."
"The tool helps to manage APIs."
"Microsoft Azure API Management is 90 to 99 percent scalable. We have three instances running in parallel."
"API Management does not take long to deploy."
"The initial setup is not that complex, but there are certain challenges."
"The API management is very good."
"Initial setup was quite easy."
"I like the API Management functions."
"Code generation is one of the important features of SwaggerHub. We design our API, and we can generate a very rich codebase and add to it. The code generation feature is very valuable."
"It is a stable solution."
"It is quite a useful tool. It is quite good with the validation of the spec. It works quite well in terms of errors and conformity to the OpenAPI standard. It is better than Visual Studio Code in terms of editing."
"I rate the solution's stability a ten out of ten."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy and not at all difficult."
"The tool's most valuable feature is licensing."
"You can click & play and add the notation in a human-readable form. Spotlight is also very good in the graphical design of APIs."
"The most valuable features are the collaboration between multiple teams and the control and distribution of specifications."
"Microsoft Azure API Management could improve by having better integration with third-party solutions."
"This solution is only available as a cloud-based deployment and it would be very helpful to have an on-premises version."
"Technical support could be more flexible and try to meet the client's needs a bit more effectively."
"There is a limitation of 32 kb of data in the APIs. Having the limitation increase would be a benefit."
"The solution’s security and performance could be improved."
"I would like to see more security features become available."
"They should improve the inbuilt policies that they have and that should properly create a deployment architecture as well."
"Performance issues from this platform need to be sorted out."
"We have to use additional tools to test APIs."
"More integration and usability with the cloud microservices would be nice"
"It has limited functionality...Unfortunately, some of its features are not what we need."
"SwaggerHub's UI needs to be improved as it looks very old school."
"SwaggerHub could be improved with better integration for tools."
"It could be more intuitive compared to one of its competitors."
"The review process should be improved. There seem to be some gaps, at least for us, for the editing part because we would like to have a full request review mechanism. They support some comments, but it is really hard to manage those comments. We would like to use the full request. Therefore, we are now looking to integrate with repositories. It has integration with Bitbucket and GitHub, but we have some internal constraints, and we need to move some of the repositories to GitHub. Our source code is on-premise in Bitbucket, and it was a bit of a problem for us to integrate. Now we are transitioning our repositories to GitHub, and hopefully, we can enable the integration. This will probably solve the problem with the review and approval. Its customization should also be improved. There are limitations around the support for the developer portal. There should be more customization options for the website that you can use as a developer portal. Currently, it has only Swagger UI with minimal customization. You cannot actually add additional pages and documentation for explaining concepts and general things. That's why we have started to look around to see what other tools are doing. They should also allow tagging on the API. We would like to add some tagging on the API to reflect certain things. Currently, any metadata that you would like to have has to be a part of the spec. You cannot do anything else. It should also have support for Open API 3.1, which was released at the beginning of the year. It would be great to be able to switch to that."
"SwaggerHub lacks in terms of integrations. They have APIs integrated, and they also have some connectors, but they don't have integration with many of the things that we use. For example, for connecting with SVN, we had to implement external scripts. So, they should work on the integration because currently, we have to work on the integration with our DevOps, continuous delivery, or continuous deployment. It would be great if these integrations are built-in. Mainly, we would like it to integrate with SVN and Jira."
