3scale API Management vs Boomi AtomSphere API Management comparison

"To me, the most valuable feature of 3scale API Management is that it lets you add a backend to the product. I also like that you can integrate it well with OpenShift clusters, making 3scale API Management a useful solution."

"3scale API Management's best feature is API management."

"The product is stable."

"The standard deployment is very simple."

"I like the API automation."

"It's good that they aren't adding a lot of features like ESP, etc. It's okay with just being a gateway."

"The most valuable features are the gateway and security features."

"The gateway is the most valuable feature because it makes it possible for us to gather all traffic into one proxy, which is a good thing."

"Boomi AtomSphere API Management is a good product for integrating with Boomi as a backend service."

"The product's stability is good."

"We can develop almost any interface that we need."

"We can create APIs straightforwardly and quickly and build jobs for data migration."

"The stability of the solution is good."

"AtomSphere API Management is a simple platform that's easy to use. If you're using it on-prem, there's a little learning curve."

"AtomSphere is tightly integrated into the Boomi iPaaS platform. And Boomi has been augmenting AtomSphere API Management for the past couple of years so version 2.0 is better than 1.0."

"Integrations take less time."

"I believe the CMS part of it has room for improvement though. That is where you write a couple of things if you want to publish your API. It's based on liquid scripting, which doesn't seem like the obvious ones to script with."

"The user experience could be better. The developer portal is too complex and hard to configure."

"We tried to use the portal, but we decided that it wasn't enough. The content management system (CMS) is not easy to use if you want to customize things, and it's hard to get someone who has the knowledge to work with the CMS."

"The product is not that flexible for developers. It's less flexible and rigid. It's not easy to make changes or customize it."

"3scale API Management only supports restful APIs and doesn't support SOAP."

"What I'd like to improve in 3scale API Management is its route-limiting feature. Currently, I don't know how to do that effectively on the solution, but in Kong, I know how to do it, so I would love to see route-limiting being easily done on 3scale API Management. It would also be good if there was some authentication that you could do from 3scale API Management because Kong offers that functionality out of the box. What I'd love to see in the next release of 3scale API Management is the ability to integrate more plug-ins easily onto the platform, so you'll be able to extend it, and even do customs management. If Red Hat could offer that extension where it allows the internal organization where 3scale API Management is deployed on-premise to integrate its tools on top of 3scale API Management and provide an API for that, that will make the solution very powerful."

"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."

"It would be helpful to improve the customization features so that the customer can do it based on their own needs."

"To some degree, you need to know what type or amount of API you are creating - whether it's a rest API or web service API. You need to know ETL in order to really get the most out of Boomi."

"From an improvement perspective, the price could be cheaper."

"Boomi AtomSphere API Management can be improved in terms of threshold management and policy management."

"The API management has room for improvement."

"It's difficult to integrate the on-prem application with the Dell Boomi Cloud. We have to check to ensure the Dell domain engine is running. It just requires some service endpoints from our on-prem application to connect to Dell Boomi Cloud to make it available to integrate. It would be better if AtomSphere API Management were offered as a purely SaaS application, so I wouldn't need an on-prem component to make it available. We could make a test call or provide some connection parameters. That should enable it to pull the data."

"The product is really complex to manage."

"The solution must provide more AI services."

"Most of the basic functionality is there in Boomi, but APG is a more feature-rich solution."

"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."

"The pricing is affordable, it's cheap."

"The cost was around $45,000 per year."

"I don't think that 3scale is very expensive."

"Boomi AtomSphere API Management gives customers a good price. Price-wise, the product is good."

"Boomi AtomSphere API Management is a cheap product."

"The price is reasonable."

"The product can get very expensive quickly if you connect to multiple databases."
