Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Git integration""Quick and easy way to share a new API design with teams.""In two years, there was one time the service was down for an hour or so.""I find the generation of mock services very useful, especially when demonstrating for new consumers.""I do like the overall performance of the solution."

More Apiary Pros →

"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.""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.""When we did the product evaluation, we saw that TIBCO Mashery offers end-to-end API life cycle management. It provides all API features that are required for managing the complete life cycle. It includes the developer portal and tools for API monitorization. The out-of-box security features that TIBCO Mashery provides are enterprise-grade, which gives it an edge over other API products.""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.""Conversion to RESTful and SOAP protocols and management console (can manage individually throttled settings to manage our service levels for customers).""This has provided a new stream of traffic and exposure of our catalogue beyond the normal web store offering.""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."

Cons
"Swagger (OpenAPI Specification) and Blueprint Support""I would like an integrated option to download a Swagger version of the definition.""The Oracle release cycle is very bad because the patches only update once a year."

More Apiary Cons →

"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.""Policy management has been a bit of a concern.""It lacks many features at the API gateway compared to other solutions.""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.""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.""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."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "There is a free subscription option to start and try the service."
  • "It is easy to get started with personal (free) accounts, but a subscription is required for additional features."
  • More Apiary 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."
