Axway AMPLIFY API Management vs SwaggerHub comparison

"We like the portal for documentation a lot."

"This product is reliable and stable."

"Axway AMPLIFY API Management is niche technology that people prefer because it has emerged beautifully and has very nice support and enterprise-level features which are not provided by cloud Azure or AWS."

"Its flexibility allows us to adapt to different scenarios."

"The most useful features in Axway AMPLIFY API Management, in my opinion, primarily involve the security aspect of the product, which provides us very good methods of securing the network."

"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."

"We like the portal for documentation a lot."

"SwaggerHub is helping with team collaboration, as all the people now know the link, they just go there and get the information they need, and it is really a documentation tool for sharing documentation information about the API we support."

"SwaggerHub plays a crucial role in order to bring teams and automate things faster and also reduce the man-hours and increase the work efficiency."

"The most valuable features are the collaboration between multiple teams and the control and distribution of specifications."

"Normally, they publish their APIs on SwaggerHub for seamless integration with SmartBear and ReadyAPI, which allows us to perform detailed end-to-end automation testing."

"The best feature that SwaggerHub offers is the collaboration capability that helps us the most across all of our teams, as we have a single API infrastructure but several teams working in different areas of these APIs."

"Since I started using SwaggerHub, it has had a positive impact on our organization due to better collaboration between developers and the quality assurance team, and it has reduced errors because of its automated validation."

"You can click & play and add the notation in a human-readable form. Spotlight is also very good in the graphical design of APIs."

"The tool's most valuable feature is licensing."

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

"A significant area of improvement for Axway AMPLIFY API Management is the Amplify Central portal, which should help expose APIs on a webpage for potential customers."

"The API Mocking tools need to be improved."

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

"Ultimately, from a very high-level overview, cloud platforms or Kong could have a slight advantage when compared to Axway AMPLIFY API Management."

"Team management capabilities could be improved."

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

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

"The scalability aspect of SwaggerHub can be improved. It becomes a bit unreliable when the load is increased and isn't up to par with expectations for scalability."

"SwaggerHub could be improved with better integration for tools."

"In SwaggerHub, I appreciate that it is a powerful platform for API design and collaboration, but currently, the access control is somewhat limited."

"SwaggerHub can be improved since the API testing features are limited compared to Postman, and it is somewhat expensive for small teams as paid plans cost a lot."

"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."

"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."

"Some areas of SwaggerHub that could be improved include the interface between the code editor and the visual editor, the integration with private APIs, which currently requires an upgraded account."

"More integration and usability with the cloud microservices would be nice."

"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."

"It has a yearly subscription, but I am not sure."

"The tool is cheap."
