Cons
"It would be great if they have an asset report. It's hard to get support for that.""The installation process is a bit complex and it could be a lot simpler.""Team management capabilities could be improved.""The product shows a lack of maturity. The setup is difficult, the tech support and community are lacking, and it is not very stable.""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 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.""This solution does have some limitations regarding the deployment model.""Sometimes we find bugs where certain calls are not returning all the data we need."

More Axway AMPLIFY API Management Cons →

"The user interface could be a bit better.""They don't have different URLs for administrators.""I would improve the product documentation. There are some gaps, and it can be difficult to find the proper documentation for the product if you need to solve something.""From what I have experienced from the versions I have tried, they could improve on the multi-tenant environments to allow some kind of SSO single sign-on between tenant.""Based on our recent large scaling project, the latency needs to be improved.""We had some problems with the reverse proxy not being able to invoke fully qualified domain names, so we have to build some custom scripts to solve this issue.""We found WSO2 API Manager to be a bit complex.""The initial setup can be difficult."

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."
