Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Google, Amazon Web Services (AWS) and others in API Management."It allowed us to publish and replace pre-essential transactions in one place, with a uniformity in terms of control and policies."
"Good interface, intuitive solution."
"The tool's authentication mechanism is easy to implement. We had to define a few parameters."
"The most valuable aspect of Mashery is its stability."
"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 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."
"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."
"The platform's most valuable features are its capabilities to support security measures such as tokenization, token refresh, throttling, and enforcement of payloads."
"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."
"We can completely manage the APIs at the org level and BU (business unit) level."
"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."
"Akana API Management needs to improve its documentation."
"Policy management has been a bit of a concern."
"The security needs improvement, specifically, propagation of security to an API. Calling other APIs is something that is missing in the product and that makes us think about going to a competitor."
"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."
"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."
"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."
