We performed a comparison between MuleSoft Anypoint API Manager 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."Its best feature is that its plugins are somewhat unique in the market. We have budgets, Prime membership, and pre-plugins available in the marketplace that we can use immediately."
"We can use both on-premises and cloud setups."
"The ease of policy maintenance and API functionality are key features for me. They streamline business processes by allowing configurable control over policies, instead of writing codes and making maintenance more straightforward."
"If you adopt the whole platform, you can build composable applications. This will cut your time creating new applications and updating them – once you have everything running – by up to 50%."
"The security features are good. It's easy to configure the end-to-end integration with existing applications."
"This is a good API management product."
"The tool has a private area. It also has a cloud deployment option."
"The most valuable features are API development and API management."
"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."
"Very few outages or SLA issues."
"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 platform's most valuable features are its capabilities to support security measures such as tokenization, token refresh, throttling, and enforcement of payloads."
"The most valuable aspect of Mashery is its stability."
"We can completely manage the APIs at the org level and BU (business unit) level."
"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."
"The API gateway and API runtime are too heavy, which means that it is not suitable for microservices."
"Migrating any existing middleware platform to Mulesoft is difficult because of the transformation, conversion and integration involved. Better tools are needed to achieve quicker time to market."
"Anypoint could be improved by making it more open and configurable for small companies, who tend not to consider the solution as it's expensive and requires a lot of costs upfront."
"One improvement is maybe to add a plugin in the API manager. Let's say an organisation is using SOAP services or legacy APIs. Maybe I don't want to migrate it to rest API, but my plugin should be able to convert Jason to XML. Basically, protocol transformation features in API Manager."
"They should develop on MuleSoft as it would be a good way of improving API monetization."
"I'd like more monitoring and analyzing features included in the future."
"Better documentation to help explain each of the features would be really helpful."
"I would like to see more automation. Operations are done manually. It should also automate in the operation."
"Policy management has been a bit of a concern."
"The management console of API and customers' applications are not the most intuitive."
"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."
"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."
"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 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."
"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."
