I also found the caching, automatic documentation, and version management functionalities most valuable."

"We're pretty much using all of the monetizations features out of the API manager so we can put up a portal and have a dev portal and then a prod portal and do rate limiting."

"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."

"The portal for developers that this solution provides has great functionality."
"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 most valuable feature is the load balancing with the circuit-breaker function."
"The feature I find most valuable is that this solution allows us to manage our security."
"You can set up workflows and write limited pieces of logic."
