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 feature of Microsoft Azure API Management is monitoring. When compared with Apigee, I prefer Microsoft Azure API Management."
"The Azure Active Directory Synchronization is quite good."
"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 is a good, comprehensive solution for enterprise implementation."
"The initial setup is not that complex, but there are certain challenges."

"It is a stable solution."
"The tool's most valuable feature is licensing."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy and not at all difficult."
"The most valuable features are the collaboration between multiple teams and the control and distribution of specifications."
"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 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."
"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 scalability is endless."
"Sometimes when immediate support is required, it isn't available."
"It could be more user friendly for developers. It would be nice if developers could view things more easily."
"This solution is only available as a cloud-based deployment and it would be very helpful to have an on-premises version."
"From my understanding, there are some constraints around governance and service-to-service intercommunication managing priorities and our own governance."
"The licensing fees should be cheaper."
"Microsoft Azure API Management could improve by having better integration with third-party solutions."
"I could that the UI could be improved."
"The implementation has room for improvement and can be more user-friendly."
"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."
"We have to use additional tools to test APIs."
"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."
"More integration and usability with the cloud microservices would be nice"
"It could be more intuitive compared to one of its competitors."
"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."
