We performed a comparison between IBM API Connect 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 is very stable."
"The management of the API and API portal is good."
"The most valuable features of IBM API Connect are its performance and user-friendliness."
"Its speed and performance are valuable."
"It is a very scalable solution."
"The functionalities on offer are very good."
"One of the most valuable features of this solution is that it protects our backend system. We are exposing services to external parties and using this solution to protect the backend system, and to have a navigation in between."
"It is a complete all-in-one solution."
"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."
"This has provided a new stream of traffic and exposure of our catalogue beyond the normal web store offering."
"Conversion to RESTful and SOAP protocols and management console (can manage individually throttled settings to manage our service levels for customers)."
"The platform's most valuable features are its capabilities to support security measures such as tokenization, token refresh, throttling, and enforcement of payloads."
"Very few outages or SLA issues."
"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."
"The design time setup has a lot of customizable fields, but we need certain standard fields to be added, such as what all of the consuming systems are. This needs to be very clearly articulated during the design time."
"Installation is weak."
"It should be cheaper."
"The product's setup phase and its setup for the users in different environments, along with DevOps integration, are areas of concern where there is a need for improvement."
"In the next version, I don't know if they've already been included it or not, but the designer and all the tools should be on the cloud. I don't want any external installation or local installation."
"The installation was difficult with the IBM toolkit."
"The administration of the user interface and the technical documentation are areas of concern in the solution where improvements are required."
"Understanding the architecture, deployment criteria, and communication methods of the installation can be time-consuming."
"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."
"TIBCO Cloud API Management should improve its installation and make it easy."
"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."
"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 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."
