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."AtomSphere is tightly integrated into the Boomi iPaaS platform. And Boomi has been augmenting AtomSphere API Management for the past couple of years so version 2.0 is better than 1.0."
"The stability of the solution is good."
"AtomSphere API Management is a simple platform that's easy to use. If you're using it on-prem, there's a little learning curve."
"We can develop almost any interface that we need."
"Boomi AtomSphere API Management is a good product for integrating with Boomi as a backend service."
"The product's stability is good."
"We can create APIs straightforwardly and quickly and build jobs for data migration."
"Integrations take less time."
"The route limiting feature is very valuable."
"The features I like include ease of operation and implementation in a cloud environment, the dashboarding features for API statistics, and the user-friendly developer portal."
"The solution's technical support is good and fast in terms of responsiveness and problem-solving skills."
"The most valuable feature of Kong Enterprise is its capability to integrate with various security tools."
"Kong enterprise has significantly enhanced our ability to manage and secure our Microservices. Its most valuable feature is monitoring."
"The most valuable features of Kong Enterprise are the out-of-the-box open source easy functionality."
"The solution provides good performance."
"It boasts remarkable speed and stability, and these qualities, particularly the gateway's resilience, are standout features for me."
"Most of the basic functionality is there in Boomi, but APG is a more feature-rich solution."
"Boomi AtomSphere API Management can be improved in terms of threshold management and policy management."
"It's difficult to integrate the on-prem application with the Dell Boomi Cloud. We have to check to ensure the Dell domain engine is running. It just requires some service endpoints from our on-prem application to connect to Dell Boomi Cloud to make it available to integrate. It would be better if AtomSphere API Management were offered as a purely SaaS application, so I wouldn't need an on-prem component to make it available. We could make a test call or provide some connection parameters. That should enable it to pull the data."
"The API management has room for improvement."
"To some degree, you need to know what type or amount of API you are creating - whether it's a rest API or web service API. You need to know ETL in order to really get the most out of Boomi."
"The product is really complex to manage."
"From an improvement perspective, the price could be cheaper."
"The solution must provide more AI services."
"Kong Enterprise has decided not to support the web portal feature anymore, but I think that feature should stay in the on-premises solution."
"The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"It becomes difficult if you try to scale it up to multiple clusters."
"We are facing issues with the solution's features like reports and traffic analysis."
"Kong Enterprise fails to provide live tracing of the APIs, which is possible nowadays."
"The tool needs improvement in UX."
"Kong is meant for north-south communications, so it will be interesting to see what solutions they can come up with in the realms of east-west communications, service-to-service communications, and Zero Trust architecture. I believe that if they can provide for these areas, then they will be able to solve the overall integration and security concerns for microservices architecture in general."
"The ease of billing is lost when Kong is not available directly on the Azure marketplace. This is one area where they can improve."
