Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"I don't believe the Salesforce has been fully utilized yet. It gives us quick engagement.""The API portal capability is a valuable feature.""In general, API governance provides a better experience for providers.""This product is a ten when it comes to API management.""This platform can be highly scalable.""There's drag and drop functionality so that you do not need to have a senior expert developer to make use of the tool. You can get more of your staff trained up to be able to use it as it's not overly technical.""The administration tool for this solution is good.""The best feature of Axway Amplify API Management is its exceptional level of security, which is highly reassuring, coupled with its remarkable capacity to handle substantial volumes of data in impressively efficient turnaround times."

More Axway AMPLIFY API Management Pros →

"We are able to go to market very quickly and deploy our functionalities very quickly.""It has improved API governance and gives analytics to API performance.""There are a few assertions which are built-in for threat protection. I have used them for vulnerabilities, like for DDoS attacks, XML schema validation, IP restriction, and for cross-domain.""Security is the most important parameter of the solution, for me, because whenever you are exposing your APIs to third-parties, it is critical that the data remains anonymous and that data is retained within the system, that it is not leaked. CA API Management provides good security features.""We can get more visibility into our data.""This improved our organization, because it gives the management data to discuss for the next course of action and it suggests what to work on, as the next thing.""We can create multiple orgs and set up policies and management. We can also integrate with an APM solution""Compared to other vendors, this product is much faster in coming up with new features, which is good."

More Layer7 API Management Pros →

"Conversion to RESTful and SOAP protocols and management console (can manage individually throttled settings to manage our service levels for customers).""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 most valuable aspect of Mashery is its stability.""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.""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.""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.""This has provided a new stream of traffic and exposure of our catalogue beyond the normal web store offering."

Cons
"The installation process is a bit complex and it could be a lot simpler.""The portal still has room for improvement.""The areas for enhancement should be improving certain filters within the solution. Although they are generally functional, there are occasional problems that could be more precisely adjusted. Additionally, the solution performs well within its workload limitations, but it may not be suitable for scaling up or managing a larger volume of transactions through the gateway. To address this, it may be necessary to adopt a unique architecture rather than relying on traditional pre-packaged options.""The API Mocking tools need to be improved.""Team management capabilities could be improved.""Areas of improvement include marketing and enhancing the data products area by using ETIs.""Sometimes we find bugs where certain calls are not returning all the data we need.""This solution does have some limitations regarding the deployment model."

More Axway AMPLIFY API Management Cons →

"We are looking for improvements related to integration. We want to see them add integration tools to the CA bundle. That would be helpful.""The Portal is not stable.""Some problems with response time.""One day, where we can have a microservices gateway and we will not need the classic gateway at all, that is what we want to see.""I would like to be able to see the publisher role be able to be organized within organizations, so somebody within that role can only manipulate their particular policies.""We have experienced technical difficulties with the product in the past.""As a SaaS product, control over some configuration elements and environments is lost.""Some users say that the API lacks some features and is lagging behind the competition although that has not been my personal experience."

More Layer7 API Management Cons →

"Policy management has been a bit of a concern.""The management console of API and customers' applications are not the most intuitive.""We observed delays under heavy load conditions, and without proper tuning, changes could take an extended period to filter and become effective.""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.""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.""TIBCO Cloud API Management should improve its installation and make it easy.""It lacks many features at the API gateway compared to other solutions."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The solution is expensive. When you acquire a license you have full access to the solution, unlike other competitors such as Apigee X, where there are fragmented licenses. Some licenses only allow access to certain features while others allow access to more features. Upon procuring this solution's license, you will have full access to the solution, allowing you to experiment with all of its features."
  • More Axway AMPLIFY API Management Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "CA has great pricing for gateways, so negotiate with your sales team."
  • "If the CA pricing for API management would be a little lower, they would be able to cover a broader market."
  • "Purchase 4.0 now and wait until they flush out the 4.1 problems."
  • "It depends on your use case of course, how much you want to go with that, because it can get pricey and depends on the size of your company."
  • "Be aware of additional licenses for your warm standby. Ensure you get plenty of non-production licenses."
  • "Do not buy piecemeal."
  • "It's my manager who takes care of the pricing. But I keep on hearing that it's a little pricey, it's on the higher side. That is what he says."
  • "Pricing is competitive. CA is ready to offer attractive discounts."
  • More Layer7 API Management Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "We have secured terms on which we have been happy to renew for a number of years."
  • "Its price is pretty reasonable. There are some lightweight API options available in the market, but given the feature set that TIBCO provides, its price is really reasonable."
  • "Licensing is quite flexible."
  • "TIBCO Cloud API Management is not an expensive solution."
