There were two main reasons for consideration. One of them was the cost. It is true that the other solution had more capabilities, but we didn't have plans to use them. We didn't need them, but the cost was slightly higher. Also, we were already working with the Red Hat solution and integrating it with some other solutions we have in place. It was better and more convenient for us. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

The customer service and support are not very good. I remember working on a dev functionality for this product. The documentation provided by Red Hat was not up to the mark. We reached out to them because my company is in partnership with them, but we did not receive a satisfactory response. Even in our company, another team implementing Red Hat faced difficulties in solution development despite having paid support from Red Hat.

Key learnings from peers

Last updated Nov 21, 2024

Valuable Features

"The product is stable."
"I like the API automation."
"The solution is quite lightweight, and the installation is very easy. It's like a two-click installation."

Room for Improvement

"The user experience could be better. The developer portal is too complex and hard to configure."
"The product is not that flexible for developers. It's less flexible and rigid. It's not easy to make changes or customize it."
"What was suggested by Red Hat was a crucial part of the configuration, but when we started to ask about the supportability of this configuration, Red Hat said only some parts of the configuration would be supported."

Pricing

"The pricing is affordable, it's cheap."
"The cost was around $45,000 per year."
"3scale API Management has reasonable pricing, judging from its competitor, Kong. My organization pays yearly for the 3scale API Management license, though I'm unable to give the exact figure because every single day there are new clusters deployed. I'm in charge of three to four clusters in my team, but give or take, it costs a few thousand lakhs."
