"The most valuable feature of Kong Enterprise is its capability to integrate with various security tools."
"Good at intercepting traffic and modeling APIs around that."
"It boasts remarkable speed and stability, and these qualities, particularly the gateway's resilience, are standout features for me."
"The tool's feature that I find most beneficial is rate limiting. In our usage, especially in the financial sector, we prioritize limiting API usage. This is crucial because we provide APIs to other companies and must ensure they adhere to their allocated usage limits. Without rate limiting, there's a risk of excessive usage, which could result in significant costs."
"This has provided a new stream of traffic and exposure of our catalogue beyond the normal web store offering."
"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 most valuable aspect of Mashery is its stability."
"Very few outages or SLA issues."
"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."
"It is easy to work with ."
"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."
"The technical support team's response time needs to be improved."
"It becomes difficult if you try to scale it up to multiple clusters."
"Kong Enterprise needs to improve its pricing, which starts at hundreds of thousands of dollars. Pricing should be based on API usage rather than monthly. It should improve its documentation as well."
"We would like to see an automatic data API when we have a table in the database."
"Because it is open-source, it should be less expensive than others."
"We are facing issues with the solution's features like reports and traffic analysis."
"Kong Enterprise fails to provide live tracing of the APIs, which is possible nowadays."
"The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"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."
"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."
"TIBCO Cloud API Management should improve its installation and make it easy."
"It lacks many features at the API gateway compared to other solutions."
"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."
"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."
