Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros | ||
This improved our organization, because it gives the management data to discuss for the next course of action and it suggests what to work on, as the next thing. I work for an information security company. CA API Management is capable of using tokens for authorization to manage access control for the APIs. As an organization grow, you can use CA API Management for authentication purposes through the CA API Gateway. It allows for multiple identity providers with different Active Directories. The solution helped us to quickly publish and monetize APIs. I have used versioning responses to publish or send APIs to different customers with different versions. From a security standpoint, it works great. It is the right solution for us. It's lightweight, a software-appliance configuration which was easy to deploy and configure. There are a few assertions which are built-in for threat protection. I have used them for vulnerabilities, like for DDoS attacks, XML schema validation, IP restriction, and for cross-domain. Containerization and the monetization module are quite unique for an API tool... In addition, the development time and rollout time are pretty quick. The security checking authentication is our primary use case for this solution. | It is possible to solve larger legacy API issues on an enterprise level with this product. Opens the door to connect modern web products to an old legacy system. OpenLegacy produces a war file which includes everything you need to deploy a Tomcat server. Using OpenLegacy, the exposure of services is far easier and quicker. In many cases, exposure of services requires just a few clicks and takes only minutes. In very complex cases, it still only takes half a day. Without OpenLegacy, it would take us several months to create the same services. Using mainframe programs (not screens), the OpenLegacy services do not require any changes by the mainframe programmers, thus reducing development cycles. OpenLegacy provides a way to go from the outside world to the legacy mainframe, to move the old standard application to a REST API application. New digital services can be created in a few clicks and this can be done easily by COBOL programmers. | 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. |
Cons | ||
From the last version, they have added more dashboard support, but there is still a lot they need to improve. In terms of monitoring, it's almost all covered. The interface can be improved, though. 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. They need a workflow for the API Developer Portal, where the process only allows requests to go to the correct person. 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. The entire lifecycle management approach needs improvement: from the API management, development, deployment, some of the settings around the quotas, and some security policy applications, etc. for the APIs. We found the Apigee platform a lot more robust in that area. There are old algorithms that the tool does not support - and it shouldn't, in my opinion. But sometimes customers need old algorithms, from old use cases and old applications, migrated to the platform. At those times, there are hiccups that happen. The security protocols in CA's product, for financial services, weren't as good as those in API Connect. We have experienced technical difficulties with the product in the past. | Customer support for the product is slow and not very good. It makes using the product difficult if you need help quickly. I would like to see SSL out-of-the-box. OpenLegacy certainly does SSL, but it was not the default for our use case. We are currently working with OpenLegacy to cross the SSL bridge and suspect that most users will want to do the same. Debugging and logging for programmers could be better. We would also be more than happy if the product had the option to work in the opposite direction – the ability to consume REST/SOW services in the outer world from the mainframe. | 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. |
Pricing and Cost Advice | ||
APIs can be developed to provide security. We can show them in one single pane of glass, such as the CA API Management API Developer Portal. It is there that we can provide the monetization for their APIs and what is happening on third-party applications, like Paytm or BookMyShow. CA API Management has a licensing path. If you want more features, it requires more licenses and more installation time. It has a reasonable pricing model by instance. For what we are after, the pricing is okay. It is competitive. We weren't comfortable with the pricing of licensing. It was slightly more expensive than its competitors. I do not have experience with the pricing or licensing of the product. I think it's competitive. It's not that expensive when you compare CA with the Oracle product. I feel that it is costly for medium-sized companies. | Information Not Available | Information Not Available |
