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…

Offers a good dashboard that provides a great overview to users
I would say that maybe along the same path that Traefik Enterprise is currently on, you have most of the things straight up in the UI that you can check even with minimal training. You can just use, understand, and debug things from the UI. There is still work to be done in the tool, which can ensure that anyone with just minimal know-how of the product doesn't have to really go into the terminal and see the status of routes, concierge routes, or whether certain things are up or not. One should be able to just check things straight up from the UI and get to know what kind of issues are there in the solution, and even though such a feature is already there in the tool, there is more work to be done in it. I would not particularly recommend any improvements when it comes to the security of traffic. I think the tool is pretty pluggable in terms of whatever security we want to put in our routes, even though it is just as a middleware or just as a supporting product for whatever we have in our services.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The UI management is very easy to use."
"The tool helps to manage APIs."
"Everything is already available and ready to operate without a lot of preparation work."
"Microsoft Azure API Management is 90 to 99 percent scalable. We have three instances running in parallel."
"Azure API Management is an API gateway that can be used for different purposes, for example, to monetize APIs."
"The ease of use of the solution is excellent."
"It seems quite good so far. It handles our current workload well, and I'm optimistic it can scale effectively as our needs grow."
"The API management and the hosting of the API platform are great."
"The tool handles scalability pretty easily. Adding more instances of services and all are pretty intuitive to do using Traefik Enterprise."
 

Cons

"I would like to see more security features become available."
"The external policies are impossible to look at and configure."
"It should be easier to integrate."
"It could be more user friendly for developers. It would be nice if developers could view things more easily."
"They're trying to implement versioning and trying to be able to manage different versions of your API all at the same time, but they're not doing that just quite right yet."
"Azure is our most expensive resource; it's costly."
"Maybe the customization could be a bit better."
"It would be better if it were easier to transition to Azure from JIRA. For example, different nomenclature must be performed when you shift to Azure from JIRA. JIRA's storage, tasks, and ethics are treated differently from Azure. Here they might become functions, which is not an option in JIRA because that nomenclature difference is there. If someone has to get into the nomenclature, then there can be different tasks from clients, and here, they may be treated as functions. JIRA has sub-tasks, but sub-tasks don't exist in Azure. The nomenclature and the linking between ethics and a function and a story are different, and people may have to learn to adapt to the new nomenclature."
"One should be able to just check things straight up from the UI and get to know what kind of issues are there in the solution, and even though such a feature is already there in the tool, there is more work to be done in it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Compared to other solutions the cost is a seven out of ten."
"Because of our partner relationship, our pricing is pretty decent. But in general, if I compare pricing, I think the initial offer that we got from Microsoft until the relationship kicked in was more expensive than AWS. There were some unexpected expenses because we had to pause. This was due to our inexperience and because we were doing this significant public cloud migration for the first time. We were using SAP on a public cloud for the first time."
"The solution appears cheaper because it's a cloud SaaS model."
"I rate the solution's pricing between three and four, as it could be more competitive."
"The price is comparable."
"Azure API Management is the most expensive solution on the market."
"Licensing fees are paid on an annual basis."
"I would describe the tool's price as being in the mid-range category."
"I would say that Traefik Enterprise is cheaper than the other alternatives in the market."
