We performed a comparison between Layer7 API Management and TIBCO Cloud API Management based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two API Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution's technical support is good."
"The Gateway can front our APIs very easily."
"I appreciate Layer 7 API management for its comprehensive approach to the entire API lifecycle, including governance, management, and analytics."
"It can be scaled as we need. And it can be used in different regions. We have different data centers in the U.S. and Beijing. We use it on-premise, on-cloud, and it can be hosted and used at any place and scaled across the regions."
"The speed and versatility in the implementation of APIs without writing a line of code in any programming language."
"Has great drag-and-drop features and requires minimal coding."
"We are able to go to market very quickly and deploy our functionalities very quickly."
"The benefits are rapid development and deployment of APIs, which means that your information, your ability to handle information, to receive it and to send it, to visualize it, to report on it, to get intelligence out of it, happens fast and happens with accuracy."
"It is easy to work with ."
"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."
"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 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 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."
"Very few outages or SLA issues."
"It would be nice if we could create APIs directly from Swagger files. We're doing that ourselves with a middle layer. But if you could integrate with open API Swagger specs, and then just create a Swagger and upload it to the gateway and it would create all my API template policy, and would apply the OAuth restrictions, the types of security restrictions I have on there, that would be pretty cool."
"They need a multifactor authentication solution for the API layer and the other layers, as well."
"One specific feature that we need is the ability to authenticate directly to the server with API data. It's not complex nowadays. This is a feature that we need and CA doesn't have it."
"I would like for the new release to allow us to speed up code generation. The integration with CICD could also be more seamless."
"The setup was not as straightforward as it should have been. Support should be improved."
"We have experienced technical difficulties with the product in the past."
"As a SaaS product, control over some configuration elements and environments is lost."
"The implementation of CA API Management was complex. It is a complicated solution. You have to know so much IT knowledge to do the implementation."
"I'd like to see TIBCO integrate authentication and security features into Mashery."
"It lacks many features at the API gateway compared to other solutions."
"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."
"We observed delays under heavy load conditions, and without proper tuning, changes could take an extended period to filter and become effective."
"Policy management has been a bit of a concern."
"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."
"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."
"The management console of API and customers' applications are not the most intuitive."
