Offers pre-built packages for quick and easy onboarding of APIs but configuration is not that easy

We use it for API management, as an API gateway. All those APIs have been published there, and we call them from there. It's a centralized platform. So, overall, it's used as an API gateway and for publishing APIs. This is a bit like a custom-built solution. So, it is specific to the customer. It…

An integration platform that enables you to automate tasks by connecting apps and services

Follow best practices,engage in their professional services to help build your messaging system and to be PR have some PR emphasis and and blue Bluegreen deployment You could take half your your clusters out, upgrade them, and put them back in so you have a quick callback. And also patch quarterly, we got we got downbound. And and at that point, it's a little hard to get into the cycle when you're releasing software every every week, and you're trying to, go through an upgrade seven fifty servers, it's a little hard to get into the upgrade flow when when you're running that tight. I rate the overall 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

"The platform's most valuable features are its capabilities to support security measures such as tokenization, token refresh, throttling, and enforcement of payloads."

"The solution is a good general API manager. They have a few propriety features but are offering items that are standard in the industry as well."

"This has provided a new stream of traffic and exposure of our catalogue beyond the normal web store offering."

"Conversion to RESTful and SOAP protocols and management console (can manage individually throttled settings to manage our service levels for customers)."

"The most valuable aspect of Mashery is its stability."

"It is easy to work with ."

"The most valuable feature is the ability to have different packages based on the API keys. The same core system can have different packages based on different environments."

"The reason why we selected the solution originally was because of its ability to have a gateway both on-premise and in the cloud. This is the most valuable aspect of the solution for us."

More TIBCO Cloud API Management pros

"There were no complexities involved in the setup phase...The product is able to meet my company's API protection needs."

"It's obvious that the heart of the product lies here. It's comprised of all aspects of ESB (Enterprise Gateway, Adapter, TN, Java) and BPM (task, rules engine)."

"Broker and UM are the best features."

"It is a bundled product stack for A2A and B2B usage. It is one of the best products which I have used during my integration career."

"I feel comfortable using this product with its ease of building interfaces for developers. This is a better integration tool for integrating with various applications like Oracle, Salesforce, mainframes, etc. It works fine in the integration of legacy software as well."

"The developer portal is a valuable feature."

"This solution has given us a competitive advantage because we have better automation and insight."

"The synchronous and asynchronous messaging system the solution provides is very good."

Cons

"It's not that user-friendly, and security-wise when you try to implement the security layer on top of it, it's not that easy either."

"The security needs improvement, specifically, propagation of security to an API. Calling other APIs is something that is missing in the product and that makes us think about going to a competitor."

"I'd like to see TIBCO integrate authentication and security features into Mashery."

"Monetization is not that great in API management. You need customization. Improvements are needed with sandbox local as well as with monetization. Those features are missing."

"It lacks many features at the API gateway compared to other solutions."

"TIBCO Cloud API Management should improve its installation and make it easy."

"The management console of API and customers' applications are not the most intuitive."

"The way agile life cycle is working needs improvement. I also want to see more support for open API standards. I want to see some improvement on the protocol transformation. That is quite missing now. These are the three main issues."

More TIBCO Cloud API Management cons

"For code version control, you need to use some external software."

"A while ago, they were hacked, and it took them a very long time to open their website again in order to download any service packs or any features. I don't know what they could do differently. I know that they were vulnerable, and there was some downtime, but because they were down, we were unable to download any potential service packs."

"The configuring of the JWT token would be improved as it is a confusing process. We require more information on this part of the solution."

"There are things that could be improved with the webMethods API gateway. One thing is that it's too attached to the integration service and we'd like it to be a little bit more independent. We would like for them to separate operations so that it doesn't rely on the bulky integration server and so that it can be used everywhere."

"Technical support is an area where they can improve."

"webMethods.io needs to incorporate ChatGPT to enhance user experience. It can offer a customized user experience."

"Need to see more API portal features like monetizing APIs and private cloud readiness."

"When migration happens from the one release to an upgraded release from Software AG, many of the existing services are deprecated and developers have to put in effort testing and redeveloping some of the services. It would be better that upgrade releases took care to support the lower-level versions of webMethods."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have secured terms on which we have been happy to renew for a number of years."

"Its price is pretty reasonable. There are some lightweight API options available in the market, but given the feature set that TIBCO provides, its price is really reasonable."

"Licensing is quite flexible."

"TIBCO Cloud API Management is not an expensive solution."

"It is worth the cost."

"This is not a cheap solution but, compared to other products such as those offered by IBM, the pricing is similar."

"I do think webMethods is coming under increasing pressure when it comes to their price-to-feature value proposition. It's probably the single biggest strategic risk they have. They're very expensive in their industry. They've been raising the price recently, especially when compared with their competitors."

"webMethods Trading Networks is a bit costly compared to others solutions."

"I would like to see better pricing for the license."

"Sometimes we don't have a very clear idea what the licensing will entail at first, because it can be very customizable. On one hand, this can be a good thing, because it can be tailored to a specific customer's needs. But on the other hand it can also be an issue when some customer asks, "What's the cost?" and we can't yet give them an accurate answer."

"I don’t have much idea about prices, but webMethods API Portal is not something cheaper."

"There are no hidden costs in addition to the standard licensing fees for webMethods. For corporate organizations, it's a very cheap or fairly priced product, but for growing or small businesses, it's quite expensive. These businesses would probably need to consider an enterprise services bus at some point. Thus, from a pricing point, it closes out non-cooperate businesses."
