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…

Has many add-on services and supports different authentication methods
The SAP Integration Suite can work with different authentication methods. It supports physical authentication, certificate-based integration, and mTLS authentication. This allows customers to choose the best integration approach based on their policies and procedures. Additionally, the suite offers both push and data integration capabilities. The SAP Integration Suite has different add-ons and services that are easy to activate. You can create chatbots and integrate them with websites and apps. You can also build custom customer apps from scratch using various technologies. These apps can be based on databases or programming languages like Java. The suite also supports special intelligence like machine learning, although we haven't used it yet. It offers various methods, such as API management. You can easily access data files in formats like JSON or Excel, depending on your needs.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The API management and the hosting of the API platform are great."
"The Azure Active Directory Synchronization is quite good."
"I like the support they provide for the APIs more than the solution itself. First of all, documentation-wise, both Microsoft Azure and even Google Cloud are up there. But in comparison, the real-time consulting and support for APIs make Microsoft stand out a little. I also like the performance. Standard public cloud provider-built APIs are more resilient and flexible in terms of what feature you want to use and what feature you don't want to use, and they're more customizable. They are more resilient in terms of performance in that particular environment because that is the design aspect of the offering. When public clouds build APIs and deploy them after testing them on their framework for a certain amount of time, I feel there is a massive difference in the product's performance. On the interface, everything is strong."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Azure API Management is the developer portal because it's very quick and easy to get something published."
"The solution has significantly improved our organization by providing a user-friendly and easy-to-deploy API management system."
"The most valuable features of Microsoft Azure API Management are the easy configuration and deployment with automation."
"The ease of setting up a new solution is the most valuable feature. It's very easy to set up a new solution and to deploy it to production."
"The ability to create a subscription model for APIs allows companies to monetize valuable data and share it securely."
"The solution is easy to use."
"The most beneficial feature for our clients is the easy access to their information, achieved effortlessly through integration."
"The SAP Integration Suite can work with different authentication methods. It supports physical authentication, certificate-based integration, and mTLS authentication. This allows customers to choose the best integration approach based on their policies and procedures. Additionally, the suite offers both push and data integration capabilities."
"The technical support services are good."
"The most beneficial feature of SAP Integration Suite for our operation is its capability to enable API-based cloud applications to integrate seamlessly with SAP S/4HANA."
 

Cons

"Documentations for implementing certain product features are very difficult to find"
"The user interface needs improvement."
"Some of the DevOps stuff could be easier to work with. The migration paths are a little complicated, and moving code around could be more seamless. There should be less manual migration when several teams work together to publish code to the DevOps."
"When you start with Azure API management, you also need to onboard the Azure console and the Azure cloud environment, which comes with a price."
"Microsoft Azure API Management needs to improve stability."
"They need to work on the third party integrations."
"Price is the first thing that comes to mind. It's quite expensive, which could be a barrier for some users."
"Microsoft Azure API Management is lagging behind Apigee and should also have a better CICD process."
"The product's UI could be faster."
"The setup process for the SAP integration Suite is not straightforward. It involves some technical aspects and can be complex."
"They could provide graphical data for over-viewing metrics such as payments, receipts, creditors, and refunds."
"I believe there are areas where SAP Integration Suite could be improved, such as enhancing message transformation capabilities and simplifying conditional routing features compared to the on-premise tool SAP PO (Process Orchestration)."
"The instances are costly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Microsoft is competitively priced."
"It costs around 30,000 Kronas a month, which translates to about $3,000 dollars monthly."
"Compared to other solutions the cost is a seven out of ten."
"Microsoft Azure is an expensive solution not for the large enterprises but for the medium and small."
"We are paying standard fees to use Microsoft Azure API Management."
"Azure API Management is the most expensive solution on the market."
"The licensing fees are expensive."
"Based on the resources that we are leveraging, the price we are paying to use this solution is slightly higher than other competitors. In a few cases, it has its own advantage in some resources."
"It is inexpensive for smaller businesses and expensive for larger businesses."
"I rate its pricing a five out of ten."
"I'm not well-versed in the details of pricing and standard licensing for SAP Integration Suite as I primarily focus on technical aspects. As far as I know, clients can choose between different levels of offerings based on their messaging frequency and business requirements, with premium levels offering more features and customization options."
