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

Transforms internal APIs with secure, manageable cloud compatibility
Our primary use case for Microsoft Azure API Management is to front internal APIs and make them cloud-compatible. It adds extra authentication on top of old APIs and acts as a proxy towards internal APIs, providing a single endpoint that can manage multiple APIs behind it. This is particularly…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"In general, API governance provides a better experience for providers."
"The API portal capability is a valuable feature."
"I don't believe the Salesforce has been fully utilized yet. It gives us quick engagement."
"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."
"This platform can be highly scalable."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is security."
"We like the portal for documentation a lot."
"The most valuable features are security enforcement and throttling."
"Initial setup was quite easy."
"I like that security features can be integrated with API Management. I also like that you can perform rate-limiting and throttling functions."
"The tool is very easy to use and manage APIs."
"The user management is pretty seamless."
"We're very satisfied with Azure API Management. We've had no issues with bugs, everything runs smoothly, and the connection between the cloud and the on-premise infrastructure was good."
"I like API Management's sandbox feature. It's an environment where you can test out the API before putting it into production and connecting it to a live environment."
"The price is pretty reasonable for us."
"Easy to integrate API management platform. It is a stable and scalable solution."
 

Cons

"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."
"It would be great if they have an asset report. It's hard to get support for that."
"The product shows a lack of maturity. The setup is difficult, the tech support and community are lacking, and it is not very stable."
"Team management capabilities could be improved."
"Areas of improvement include marketing and enhancing the data products area by using ETIs."
"Sometimes we find bugs where certain calls are not returning all the data we need."
"The portal still has room for improvement."
"This solution is only available as a cloud-based deployment and it would be very helpful to have an on-premises version."
"Sometimes when immediate support is required, it isn't available."
"I could that the UI could be improved."
"They need to work on the third party integrations."
"One of the most important improvements for us would be if it supported the HTTP/3 version and new protocol over a quick connection."
"I would like to see better scalability and better performance."
"I'd like to have better flexibility and more capabilities."
"The solution's data mapping and orchestration are very code-intensive or require callouts to external systems."
 

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."
"Microsoft is competitively priced."
"There are additional costs to the standard licensing fees."
"Licensing fees are paid on an annual basis."
"Since this is a cloud-based solution you have to abide by those financial limits, this creates some different challenges compared to other solutions."
"Since everyone is isocentric here, it is reasonable for me."
"Azure's pricing is very competitive compared to platforms like Apigee and MuleSoft."
"Azure API Management is the most expensive solution on the market."
"The price of the solution is reasonable compared to others."
