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."It gives a holistic environment for us to set up the APIs and that's the main value that it adds. It gives end to end for us."
"WSRR is a powerful component for getting the endpoints."
"API Connect's data gateway is one of the strongest in the market."
"The most valuable features of the solution stem from the fact that it is very easy to use and is something that is easily configurable."
"The developer portal has been the most useful feature."
"The solution provides a common place for all APIs, allowing for easy sharing and exchange of information between internal and external stakeholders."
"The most valuable features of IBM API Connect are its performance and user-friendliness."
"IBM API Connect is a reliable and scalable solution."
"This has provided a new stream of traffic and exposure of our catalogue beyond the normal web store offering."
"Very few outages or SLA issues."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The administration of the user interface and the technical documentation are areas of concern in the solution where improvements are required."
"Different versions of the same thing can mean unnecessary duplication."
"I would like to see support for non-Java based services. We struggle a bit to be able to deploy and connect our .NET services because of things like data types. We had to map a couple of things. For one solution provider, we had to move them to .NET Core before we could use it properly. I would like to see more agnostic tool service platforms rather than moving it more towards Java or open source."
"The integration of cloud-based services is where we're looking for improvement in this platform."
"Firstly, the pricing model, when compared to other open sources, is high. Secondly, the availability of resources in the market, specifically the developers available in the market, is not so much."
"The platform’s integration with the payment gateway needs enhancement. The setup process and support services could be improved."
"Business applications could be exposed to users."
"It would be helpful to have access monitoring."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"It lacks many features at the API gateway compared to other solutions."
"I'd like to see TIBCO integrate authentication and security features into Mashery."
"The management console of API and customers' applications are not the most intuitive."
"TIBCO Cloud API Management should improve its installation and make it easy."
