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…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

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

"Good interface, intuitive solution."

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

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

"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 most valuable feature of the solution is security."

"We like the portal for documentation a lot."

"I don't believe the Salesforce has been fully utilized yet. It gives us quick engagement."

"The administration tool for this solution is good."

"The API portal capability is a valuable feature."

"In general, API governance provides a better experience for providers."

Cons

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

"Lacks an integrated billing feature."

"Akana API Management needs to improve its documentation."

"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."

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

"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."

"The product shows a lack of maturity. The setup is difficult, the tech support and community are lacking, and it is not very stable."

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

"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."

"Team management capabilities could be improved."

More Axway AMPLIFY API Management cons

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."
