Authentication mechanism is easy to implement but improvement is needed in documentation

For API security purposes, we use the tool to host all our APIs. This allows us to take advantage of the security features provided by the platform. With the solution, we can implement rules such as rate limiting and restricting the number of API calls for each user. It acts as a secure gateway…

An API management solution for ESB and B2B integration between systems with security

We don't have any challenges deploying the solution. A proper deployment takes probably takes a week. You must set up an architecture of how the enterprise requires it for availability and consider various other things. It becomes the backbone of an enterprise integration platform. If you look at deployments in real big enterprises, they can take much longer.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The tool's authentication mechanism is easy to implement. We had to define a few parameters."

"Good interface, intuitive solution."

"It allowed us to publish and replace pre-essential transactions in one place, with a uniformity in terms of control and policies."

"There's drag and drop functionality so that you do not need to have a senior expert developer to make use of the tool. You can get more of your staff trained up to be able to use it as it's not overly technical."

"The best feature of Axway Amplify API Management is its exceptional level of security, which is highly reassuring, coupled with its remarkable capacity to handle substantial volumes of data in impressively efficient turnaround times."

"The API portal capability is a valuable feature."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is security."

"This product is a ten when it comes to API management."

"We like the portal for documentation a lot."

"The administration tool for this solution is good."

"The most valuable features are security enforcement and throttling."

Cons

"Akana API Management needs to improve its documentation."

"Lacks an integrated billing feature."

"The product has new features that we are going to implement in the next few months, such as API management and analytic reporting."

"The areas for enhancement should be improving certain filters within the solution. Although they are generally functional, there are occasional problems that could be more precisely adjusted. Additionally, the solution performs well within its workload limitations, but it may not be suitable for scaling up or managing a larger volume of transactions through the gateway. To address this, it may be necessary to adopt a unique architecture rather than relying on traditional pre-packaged options."

"The installation process is a bit complex and it could be a lot simpler."

"Areas of improvement include marketing and enhancing the data products area by using ETIs."

"It would be great if they have an asset report. It's hard to get support for that."

"The portal still has room for improvement."

"This solution does have some limitations regarding the deployment model."

"In terms of customer service, the company needs to be easier to contact, and the support team needs to understand the situation and the product itself better."

"Sometimes we find bugs where certain calls are not returning all the data we need."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"For us, the pricing and licensing policies were for an on-premise installation with a fixed cost structure, that matched our budgeting policies."

"The solution is expensive. When you acquire a license you have full access to the solution, unlike other competitors such as Apigee X, where there are fragmented licenses. Some licenses only allow access to certain features while others allow access to more features. Upon procuring this solution's license, you will have full access to the solution, allowing you to experiment with all of its features."
