High level security, handles large volumes of data, and useful filters
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. If there was a new release of this solution there should be a feature called "Revision History" or "Version Control" that would allow developers to easily navigate and compare different versions of their API flows within the Amplify API Management toolkit. This would save time and effort by eliminating the need to constantly switch between the toolkit and external Git repositories. Additionally, it would provide an added layer of security by allowing developers to quickly revert back to previous versions if a mistake or issue arises.

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…

"This product is a ten when it comes to API management."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is security."
"Good interface, intuitive solution."

Cons

"Sometimes we find bugs where certain calls are not returning all the data we need."
"Team management capabilities could be improved."
"Areas of improvement include marketing and enhancing the data products area by using ETIs."
"The installation process is a bit complex and it could be a lot simpler."
"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 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 product shows a lack of maturity. The setup is difficult, the tech support and community are lacking, and it is not very stable."
"The product has new features that we are going to implement in the next few months, such as API management and analytic reporting."
"Akana API Management needs to improve its documentation."
"Lacks an integrated billing feature."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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