We performed a comparison between IBM DataPower Gateway and TIBCO Cloud API Management 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."I like all of the features in this product and it does what it's supposed to do."
"It is very easy to set up and configure, even for users with no prior experience."
"The most valuable feature is the security appliance, it's very secure."
"It can look for the various security threats, productions, payload scanning, and perform routing based on the content type."
"It is easy to use, easy to install, and it's resilient for high availability."
"The solution is very easy to work with."
"The most valuable features for our business include the ability to monitor and log data transactions and handle multiple request at an enterprise level."
"The performance is good. It's been very stable."
"When we did the product evaluation, we saw that TIBCO Mashery offers end-to-end API life cycle management. It provides all API features that are required for managing the complete life cycle. It includes the developer portal and tools for API monitorization. The out-of-box security features that TIBCO Mashery provides are enterprise-grade, which gives it an edge over other API products."
"We can completely manage the APIs at the org level and BU (business unit) level."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to have different packages based on the API keys. The same core system can have different packages based on different environments."
"It is easy to work with ."
"The control that we have and the security features are very valuable. With regard to API implementation or API orchestration, it works very well in the cloud because as soon as you create an API with one click, you can actually expose your APIs."
"Conversion to RESTful and SOAP protocols and management console (can manage individually throttled settings to manage our service levels for customers)."
"Very few outages or SLA issues."
"The most valuable aspect of Mashery is its stability."
"It is a costly product."
"The two biggest issues of this solution are the complexity and the maintenance procedures."
"The components that they include in the product that are, in fact, a WTX, really need to be removed from the product because they tend to fail."
"I would like the tool to improve its training."
"One area that could be improved is the integration with Postgres and SQL databases. Currently, IBM DataPower Gateway only integrates with Oracle databases."
"The programming language is only supported in XSLT and Gateway script."
"In the next release, I would like to see the product price reduced. It should be cheaper."
"Traceability could be improved, especially for business operations. The traceability of the transactions could be an improvement point for DataPower to work on. It would be better if they provided JSON support. JSON protocol data has changed format. It started performing internal transformation to JSONx. This might be an additional complexity."
"It lacks many features at the API gateway compared to other solutions."
"The security needs improvement, specifically, propagation of security to an API. Calling other APIs is something that is missing in the product and that makes us think about going to a competitor."
"We observed delays under heavy load conditions, and without proper tuning, changes could take an extended period to filter and become effective."
"The way agile life cycle is working needs improvement. I also want to see more support for open API standards. I want to see some improvement on the protocol transformation. That is quite missing now. These are the three main issues."
"Policy management has been a bit of a concern."
"The management console of API and customers' applications are not the most intuitive."
"They can fix some stability issues and probably make it more user-friendly so that not only an IT savvy person but an end-user can also easily navigate through this solution."
"Monetization is not that great in API management. You need customization. Improvements are needed with sandbox local as well as with monetization. Those features are missing."
