We performed a comparison between SwaggerHub and webMethods API Gateway 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."Code generation is one of the important features of SwaggerHub. We design our API, and we can generate a very rich codebase and add to it. The code generation feature is very valuable."
"The scalability is endless."
"The most valuable features are the collaboration between multiple teams and the control and distribution of specifications."
"I rate the solution's stability a ten out of ten."
"It is a stable solution."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy and not at all difficult."
"You can click & play and add the notation in a human-readable form. Spotlight is also very good in the graphical design of APIs."
"The tool's most valuable feature is licensing."
"There were no complexities involved in the setup phase...The product is able to meet my company's API protection needs."
"I like the solution's policies, transformation, mediation, and routing features."
"What I like the most about the solution is that it comes with ready-made tools like handling security tokens and OAuth."
"This solution has given us a competitive advantage because we have better automation and insight."
"The developer portal is a valuable feature."
"It's a good tool, and it has a stable messaging broker."
"The most valuable aspect of this solution for me has been the configuration-based UI. Once you get the hang of it, it enables you to easily develop an API. In addition, it has many in-built policies that are quite handy."
"The cloud version of the solution is very easy to set up."
"It has limited functionality...Unfortunately, some of its features are not what we need."
"SwaggerHub lacks in terms of integrations. They have APIs integrated, and they also have some connectors, but they don't have integration with many of the things that we use. For example, for connecting with SVN, we had to implement external scripts. So, they should work on the integration because currently, we have to work on the integration with our DevOps, continuous delivery, or continuous deployment. It would be great if these integrations are built-in. Mainly, we would like it to integrate with SVN and Jira."
"It could be more intuitive compared to one of its competitors."
"The review process should be improved. There seem to be some gaps, at least for us, for the editing part because we would like to have a full request review mechanism. They support some comments, but it is really hard to manage those comments. We would like to use the full request. Therefore, we are now looking to integrate with repositories. It has integration with Bitbucket and GitHub, but we have some internal constraints, and we need to move some of the repositories to GitHub. Our source code is on-premise in Bitbucket, and it was a bit of a problem for us to integrate. Now we are transitioning our repositories to GitHub, and hopefully, we can enable the integration. This will probably solve the problem with the review and approval. Its customization should also be improved. There are limitations around the support for the developer portal. There should be more customization options for the website that you can use as a developer portal. Currently, it has only Swagger UI with minimal customization. You cannot actually add additional pages and documentation for explaining concepts and general things. That's why we have started to look around to see what other tools are doing. They should also allow tagging on the API. We would like to add some tagging on the API to reflect certain things. Currently, any metadata that you would like to have has to be a part of the spec. You cannot do anything else. It should also have support for Open API 3.1, which was released at the beginning of the year. It would be great to be able to switch to that."
"We have to use additional tools to test APIs."
"More integration and usability with the cloud microservices would be nice"
"SwaggerHub could be improved with better integration for tools."
"SwaggerHub's UI needs to be improved as it looks very old school."
"It is an expensive solution and not very suitable for smaller businesses."
"The price has room for improvement."
"In terms of improvements, maybe on the API monetization side, having users able to create separate consumption plans and throttle all those consumption plans towards the run time could be better."
"The configuring of the JWT token would be improved as it is a confusing process. We require more information on this part of the solution."
"With performance, there is room for improvement in regards to if we would like to put another extra layer of security on it, such as SSL. This is affecting their performance quite significantly. They need to improve the process of managing the SSL and other things inside their solutions, so there will not be quite such a significant impact to the performance."
"The high price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Understanding the overall architecture is difficult."
"They should develop clear visibility for the onboarding."
