IgmarRautenbach - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Murahari Bandarupalli - PeerSpot reviewer
Simplifies API design and development for developers
SwaggerHub simplifies API development for developers by providing a platform where they can efficiently create APIs without manually creating JSON or visual files. Developers can streamline the process of developing APIs and generating requests. SwaggerHub is a platform used for API design and management. Postman serves as a tool for creating and testing API requests. While Postman offers capabilities for scripting and automation, SwaggerHub focuses on defining APIs using the OpenAPI Specification, facilitating collaboration, and generating documentation automatically. While there may be ways to integrate Postman scripts into other testing tools like JMeter, such integration would typically require manual effort and customization. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

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."
"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 features are security enforcement and throttling."
"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 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 administration tool for this solution is good."
"I rate the solution's stability a ten out of ten."
"You can click & play and add the notation in a human-readable form. Spotlight is also very good in the graphical design of APIs."
"It is a stable solution."
"The most valuable features are the collaboration between multiple teams and the control and distribution of specifications."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy and not at all difficult."
"It is quite a useful tool. It is quite good with the validation of the spec. It works quite well in terms of errors and conformity to the OpenAPI standard. It is better than Visual Studio Code in terms of editing."
"The scalability is endless."
"The tool's most valuable feature is licensing."
 

Cons

"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."
"Sometimes we find bugs where certain calls are not returning all the data we need."
"This solution does have some limitations regarding the deployment model."
"The installation process is a bit complex and it could be a lot simpler."
"The API Mocking tools need to be improved."
"It would be great if they have an asset report. It's hard to get support for that."
"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 product shows a lack of maturity. The setup is difficult, the tech support and community are lacking, and it is not very stable."
"The review process should be improved. There seem to be some gaps, at least for us, for the editing part because we would like to have a full request review mechanism. They support some comments, but it is really hard to manage those comments. We would like to use the full request. Therefore, we are now looking to integrate with repositories. It has integration with Bitbucket and GitHub, but we have some internal constraints, and we need to move some of the repositories to GitHub. Our source code is on-premise in Bitbucket, and it was a bit of a problem for us to integrate. Now we are transitioning our repositories to GitHub, and hopefully, we can enable the integration. This will probably solve the problem with the review and approval. Its customization should also be improved. There are limitations around the support for the developer portal. There should be more customization options for the website that you can use as a developer portal. Currently, it has only Swagger UI with minimal customization. You cannot actually add additional pages and documentation for explaining concepts and general things. That's why we have started to look around to see what other tools are doing. They should also allow tagging on the API. We would like to add some tagging on the API to reflect certain things. Currently, any metadata that you would like to have has to be a part of the spec. You cannot do anything else. It should also have support for Open API 3.1, which was released at the beginning of the year. It would be great to be able to switch to that."
"SwaggerHub's UI needs to be improved as it looks very old school."
"We have to use additional tools to test APIs."
"It has limited functionality...Unfortunately, some of its features are not what we need."
"SwaggerHub could be improved with better integration for tools."
"More integration and usability with the cloud microservices would be nice"
"It could be more intuitive compared to one of its competitors."
 

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."
"The tool is cheap."
"It has a yearly subscription, but I am not sure."
