I like the automation and security features
3scale enables us to secure API access. Jobs aren't allowed to talk to the agent without the correct credentials.

Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "I don't think that 3scale is very expensive."
  • "3scale API Management has reasonable pricing, judging from its competitor, Kong. My organization pays yearly for the 3scale API Management license, though I'm unable to give the exact figure because every single day there are new clusters deployed. I'm in charge of three to four clusters in my team, but give or take, it costs a few thousand lakhs."
  • "The cost was around $45,000 per year."
  • "The pricing is affordable, it's cheap."
