"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 most valuable feature of the solution is security.""I don't believe the Salesforce has been fully utilized yet. It gives us quick engagement.""The most valuable features are security enforcement and throttling.""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.""The administration tool for this solution is good.""In general, API governance provides a better experience for providers.""This platform can be highly scalable."

Cons
"Akana API Management needs to improve its documentation.""The product has new features that we are going to implement in the next few months, such as API management and analytic reporting.""Lacks an integrated billing feature."

More Akana API Management Cons →

"This solution does have some limitations regarding the deployment model.""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.""The installation process is a bit complex and it could be a lot simpler.""Sometimes we find bugs where certain calls are not returning all the data we need.""In terms of customer service, the company needs to be easier to contact, and the support team needs to understand the situation and the product itself better.""The portal still has room for improvement."

Upon procuring this solution's license, you will have full access to the solution, allowing you to experiment with all of its features."
