We performed a comparison between Layer7 API Management 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."Layer7 API Management's availability on an on-premises deployment model, actually decreases the production time if its users have any issues at the server level."
"We are able to go to market very quickly and deploy our functionalities very quickly."
"The most valuable features of Layer7 API Management are integration, ease of use, building APIs easily, and portal straightforward."
"It is fairly stable for the Gateway side."
"Every API that we get from external or from internal goes through this layer first, and it should not be a bottleneck. That was the problem we had before. Now it's no longer a bottleneck. It's more like a throughput, this process is less than 10 milliseconds for any particular API."
"As an organization grow, you can use CA API Management for authentication purposes through the CA API Gateway. It allows for multiple identity providers with different Active Directories."
"It impresses me as a product because it never goes down. It always does what it is supposed to do."
"The solution has numerous configuration options to increase security in communication."
"The platform's most valuable features are its capabilities to support security measures such as tokenization, token refresh, throttling, and enforcement of payloads."
"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."
"The reason why we selected the solution originally was because of its ability to have a gateway both on-premise and in the cloud. This is the most valuable aspect of the solution for us."
"Very few outages or SLA issues."
"This has provided a new stream of traffic and exposure of our catalogue beyond the normal web store offering."
"Conversion to RESTful and SOAP protocols and management console (can manage individually throttled settings to manage our service levels for customers)."
"The solution is a good general API manager. They have a few propriety features but are offering items that are standard in the industry as well."
"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."
"The API Development tool can be made more user-friendly by providing folder properties."
"The overall cost of Layer7 API Management is high, they can improve it by making it less expensive."
"As the number of instances increases, its complexity of installation increases if you do not use the OVA."
"The delivery is bulky in terms of implementation. Its price could also be better. It is a very good product as compared to CA API, Google API, and WSO2 API, but its price is high. From the cloud-native perspective, some new features need to be added. It could also be made simpler to implement."
"There could be more integration options included in the product."
"The interface is Java which is difficult to make look very nice."
"Needs to work better with DB2 UDB."
"We have experienced technical difficulties with the product in the past."
"TIBCO Cloud API Management should improve its installation and make it easy."
"Policy management has been a bit of a concern."
"It lacks many features at the API gateway compared to other solutions."
"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."
"The management console of API and customers' applications are not the most intuitive."
"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."
"I'd like to see TIBCO integrate authentication and security features into Mashery."
"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."
