Featured Reviews

Jason Hale - PeerSpot reviewer
Complex to manage, and the documentation is quite hard to learn, though APIs can be created quickly and easily
We faced issues with error management. When there was an issue with a job, it was quite difficult to find the reason for the error in the environment. There are multiple screens on the user interface. So we have to jump through different screens during the deployment of APIs constantly. It is quite easy to lose track of what we are doing. It was really easy to see processes running and what was happening in the environment. However, getting things from development to production was somewhat challenging. The documentation is quite hard to learn. I rate the documentation a three out of ten. The product is really complex to manage.

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

"We can develop almost any interface that we need."
"The product's stability is good."
"Integrations take less time."
"The stability of the solution is good."
"We can create APIs straightforwardly and quickly and build jobs for data migration."
"Boomi AtomSphere API Management is a good product for integrating with Boomi as a backend service."
"AtomSphere API Management is a simple platform that's easy to use. If you're using it on-prem, there's a little learning curve."
"AtomSphere is tightly integrated into the Boomi iPaaS platform. And Boomi has been augmenting AtomSphere API Management for the past couple of years so version 2.0 is better than 1.0."
"The most valuable features are the collaboration between multiple teams and the control and distribution of specifications."
"I rate the solution's stability a ten out of ten."
"The scalability is endless."
"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 product's initial setup phase was easy and not at all difficult."
"It is a stable solution."
"The tool's most valuable feature is licensing."
"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."
 

Cons

"The product is really complex to manage."
"It's difficult to integrate the on-prem application with the Dell Boomi Cloud. We have to check to ensure the Dell domain engine is running. It just requires some service endpoints from our on-prem application to connect to Dell Boomi Cloud to make it available to integrate. It would be better if AtomSphere API Management were offered as a purely SaaS application, so I wouldn't need an on-prem component to make it available. We could make a test call or provide some connection parameters. That should enable it to pull the data."
"From an improvement perspective, the price could be cheaper."
"Most of the basic functionality is there in Boomi, but APG is a more feature-rich solution."
"The solution must provide more AI services."
"To some degree, you need to know what type or amount of API you are creating - whether it's a rest API or web service API. You need to know ETL in order to really get the most out of Boomi."
"The API management has room for improvement."
"Boomi AtomSphere API Management can be improved in terms of threshold management and policy management."
"More integration and usability with the cloud microservices would be nice"
"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."
"It could be more intuitive compared to one of its competitors."
"SwaggerHub's UI needs to be improved as it looks very old school."
"SwaggerHub could be improved with better integration for tools."
"It has limited functionality...Unfortunately, some of its features are not what we need."
"We have to use additional tools to test APIs."

"The price is reasonable."
"Boomi AtomSphere API Management gives customers a good price. Price-wise, the product is good."

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