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."Lifecycle management."
"I'm still evaluating, but in terms of overall performance and stability, it's quite good."
"It nice and easy for the clients and those using the product to access the product's help resources."
"I have found the most valuable features to be tracing a proxy, and managing proxy versions and revisions via the Edge UI component."
"The opportunity for customization is really vast and it is a really good feature built into the product."
"The initial setup was easy - there was an onboarding document with steps that we followed."
"I simply like how you can personalize your products and put them into product categories. That's what I like the most."
"We can customize the dashboard."
"You can set up workflows and write limited pieces of logic."
"It is a good product for API management."
"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 feature I find most valuable is that this solution allows us to manage our security."
"The most valuable feature is the load balancing with the circuit-breaker function."
"Integration should be improved."
"I would like to see better integration and some architectural improvements in future releases of the solution."
"The solution could add even more functionalities."
"Drag and drop of features would be more beneficial, rather than manually working on the configuration and updates."
"I would recommend this solution to those who want to start using it, but it depends on the requirements and automation."
"Proxy versioning seems a bit confusing/buried in the publishing experience, especially for the URI-based versioning approach."
"iPaaS is something that we would like to see. For example, MuleSoft is kind of an integrated platform as a service (iPaaS), and it provides a lot of out-of-the-box connectors and other such things. This is where Apigee lacks. I'm not sure if that's the roadmap for Apigee, but any improvements on those lines would be helpful where things become easier to implement."
"The initial setup for the on-prem solution is a little complex."
"We would like a better tool for generating documentation for the APIs to be developed."
"In terms of our usage, the main area of concern is that they tend to build enhancements slightly ahead of the considerations for what those enhancements and extensions are. So it could be slightly better communication with the customer base that would be my main issue with them."
"Sometimes when new features are released, they are not immediately stable."
"I would like to see some additional features like having some extensions for .NET core because we use it for our back-end language."
"We ran it for a while, but then we decided to move away from Tyk, because Tyk's cloud version, the SaaS version, has a significant limitation of limited flexibility, so you can't program very much."
"It is a young product and does not have the kind of brand recognition that would make it a more popular solution with our clients."
