We performed a comparison between IBM Cloud Pak for Integration and Microsoft Azure API Management based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two API Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Cloud Pak for Integration is definitely scalable. That is the most important criteria."
"It is a stable solution."
"The most preferable aspect would be the elimination of the command, which was a significant improvement. In the past, it was a challenge, but now we can proceed smoothly with the implementation of our policies and everything is managed through JCP. It's still among the positive aspects, and it's a valuable feature."
"The most valuable aspect of the Cloud Pak, in general, is the flexibility that you have to use the product."
"The UI management is very easy to use."
"The API management is great."
"The solution is reliable and very stable."
"The price is pretty reasonable for us."
"The solution has overall high performance."
"The initial setup is not that complex, but there are certain challenges."
"I like the stability and the ease of use."
"The most valuable features are the ease of use and it is a platform that has self-enablement for the customers to be able to register themselves."
"The pricing can be improved."
"Setting up Cloud Pak for Integration is relatively complex. It's not as easy because it has not yet been fully integrated. You still have some products that are still not containerized, so you still have to run them on a dedicated VM."
"Its queuing and messaging features need improvement."
"The initial setup is not easy."
"If I compare this solution to others I have used in other phases of my life, having APIM being an Azure resource, it is easy to configure and deploy. However, this conversely reduced the flexibility. The difficulty is how do we configure it in a manner that a larger enterprise would probably want it to be. This creates a bit more complexity, working around the constraints of the resource itself. If comparing it to other solutions, it is more of a legacy design with an older approach. The various level components are still around resembling an on-premise type of design similar to other solutions, such as Apigee or Mulesoft. They are still predominantly carrying some legacy design. Which might be suited for organizations where they have a more complex network layout. APIM is easy to deploy, but on the other side of that, it is constrained to how Azure has designed it to be."
"The solution’s security and performance could be improved."
"They need to work on the third party integrations."
"Multi-tenant functionalities is missing from the system, especially when it comes to the developer code of features."
"The cloud deployment performance could be better."
"Technical support could be more helpful and responsive."
"Security could be improved."
"It should be easier to integrate."
