Microsoft Azure API Management Reviews

I primarily utilize the platform for integrations, monitoring, and process automation within our business workflows.

The solution's configuration capabilities are the most effective features for enhancing API security.

The product's navigation feature needs enhancement. 

I have been working with the platform for approximately three to four years.

I rate the solution's scalability around eight or nine.

The support services are good. However, they could be improved. 

Positive

The deployment process is not overly difficult. However, each API integration presents interface connectivity and parameters, which can introduce challenges.

The time required for deployment varies depending on the integration interface in question.

I rate the solution's pricing between three and four, as it could be more competitive.

The platform's insights improve over time, allowing us to monitor system health and receive notifications for updates.

We integrate it with Dynamics and other business tools, which enhances our data analysis and reporting capabilities. It facilitates better insights and easier data manipulation, although I rely on my team for detailed analytics.

I recommend the platform, particularly for organizations that require API utilization and integration, as it has proven to be effective in our experience.

Overall, I rate it an eight out of ten. 

Microsoft Azure API Management provides customers with customized solutions for various use cases and situations, allowing them to deploy their API strategy and products while also managing and protecting APIs.

It provides solutions for architecting, deploying, and monitoring APIs with other Azure services. 

Users can manage their complete API lifespan using Azure API Management.

The most valuable feature of Microsoft Azure API Management is monitoring.

When compared with Apigee, I prefer Microsoft Azure API Management.

When comparing the API Gateway of Microsoft Azure API Management with those of Apigee and Vital Mikram, which are other API management solutions, I prefer, Vital Mikram, the others are similar.

I would like to see more integration with other platforms, as well as increased security.

I have been working with Microsoft Azure API Management for ten years.

Azure has both a certificate and a level certification.

Microsoft Azure API Management is stable.

Microsoft Azure API Management is a scalable solution.

We have ten users in our organization.

We have a team of five to ten technicians to maintain this solution per unit.

Technical support is good.

The initial setup is straightforward.

It was deployed very quickly.

We deployed it ourselves. It was done in-house.

The price is comparable.

In my opinion, it is similar to Apigee.

I would rate Microsoft Azure API Management a seven out of ten.

The integration with Azure Active Directory is a good security feature for authentication and authorization. There is multifactor authentication. You can also use all of the Azure AD features integrated with API Management. 

There is always room for improvement. There should be more analytics abilities so you can know how much traffic there is. Log Analyzer isn't well integrated with this solution. 

I have been using this solution for two to three years.

It's on the cloud, we don't have any hiccups or problems with the stability. 

The technical support is pretty good. Sometimes it's slow. It depends on each case. Sometimes they need to engage with the US and there's a big time difference between there and Australia so it takes longer. 

Our public APIs are mostly in Axway. B2C APIs are a combination of Azure and AWS. Cost is a big difference. Axway offers two solutions. One on-prem and the other option is cloud. It's not a SAS solution, they host us in AWS but we can push the costs for version upgrades. It's much more expensive than Azure or AWS.

You have to read about how to do it four or five times and then you can implement it. It's a publicly accessible API so it needs a security layer and then you can secure it. Otherwise, anybody can access it. You need proper controls, authentication, and authorization. You need to sort this out first. 

I would recommend doing a combination of AWS API Gateway and Azure API Management. You can authenticate APIs in Azure Active Directory and from there you expose all of your serverless components and use them as a backend with Azure. But it depends on what your use case is. It can be used as a combination or as a standalone. 

I would rate it an eight out of ten. 

To make it a ten, there should be better analytics features so we can know how our product is performing. 

We are in the healthcare industry, so all the applications which are related to one hospital, it binds to Microsoft Azure API Management, and this is our use case for it.

I like the integration function of Microsoft Azure API Management. Integration of this solution is easy.

There's some area for improvement for this solution's performance. Sometimes it can be challenging. We're working with design patents and we're hoping to see the performance issues sorted out.

We've been working with Microsoft Azure API Management for a year now.

Microsoft Azure API Management is a stable product, but we have not been able to test it yet on a multi-cloud environment.

Microsoft Azure API Management is scalable. There are no issues with its scalability.

Microsoft has a good technical support team. They are very helpful.

Integration of this solution is easy. I won't call it an initial setup. It's an integration.

I was able to work with Apigee.

We used Microsoft Azure API Management only in the Microsoft environment, but not in a multi-cloud environment.

Microsoft Azure API Management is cloud-based, in particular, it is a single cloud centered around Microsoft components and not on the Cross components.

I have no idea on how long it took to implement Microsoft Azure API Management. The testing and development team is the best resource on how long it took.

The number of users of this solution in the group I'm associated with is 300,000. Increasing the number of users will depend on the mergers and acquisitions, and how the group is doing.

For maintenance, we have a backend support team that handles application support. The major point is that if the API has a lot of issues, particularly in data silos, Microsoft Azure API Management has made it more convenient to manage those.

We're still trying and testing the integration function of this solution, and we're also trying to go deeper into its performance.

My rating for Microsoft Azure API Management is a nine out of ten.

I don't have any variance data with Apigee. Apigee is better than Microsoft. I have more numbers for Apigee compared to Microsoft.

Most of the features are valuable to me. We are actively exploring the monetization aspect of Azure, and we are also working on a proof of concept to accomplish this.

The only complication I encountered was configuring the authentication in the API Management. That was a little difficult for me, but it gets better after that.

I could that the UI could be improved. All services have the use of Visual Studio to do the coding and to change the configuration. It would be beneficial to include that with Microsoft Azure API Management.

I have been working with Microsoft Azure API Management for more than two years.

Microsoft Azure API Management is a stable product.

It is easy to scale Microsoft Azure API Management.

We have fast-track support from Microsoft, which we do receive.

We are satisfied with the technical support of Microsoft.

The initial setup was simple, with no complications, other than the configuration of the authentication in the API Management.

Since everyone is isocentric here, it is reasonable for me. Rather than getting complicated with other licensing, and other products' licensing. There are many, many different types of licensing available in other products, such as perpetual for ten users. If you want more than ten users, you'll have to pay a higher license fee. As a result, we are not falling into those kinds of traps. Previously, we had to pay as you go.

I would rate Microsoft Azure API Management eight out of ten.

My primary use case is as part of a multi-channel strategy wherein APIMs are being used with micro-products or third-party clients. Our web application firewall receives all the external and public traffic, and it re-routes to the APIM, which is on the private subnet. The APIM manages both in authentication and authorization service composition layer.

One thing that could be improved is to remove the dependency of Kubernetes as an external L4 load layer balance. It would also be useful if APIM could integrate internally with Kubernetes right out of the box.

I have been using this solution for around two years.

General support has been very good, but sometimes when immediate support is required, it isn't available.

The initial setup was quite easy as it is a managed service.

I used a managed service to implement.

I would rate this product as seven out of ten.

We use the solution for API management.

The most valuable features are the API and integrations.

The implementation has room for improvement and can be more user-friendly.

I have been using the solution for one year.

I give the stability an eight out of ten.

The technical support team is good.

Positive

I give the initial setup an eight out of ten. The deployment took one business day. We require two people to complete the implementation.

The implementation is completed in-house.

Compared to other solutions the cost is a seven out of ten.

I give the solution an eight out of ten.

We have an Enterprise Agreement with Microsoft, so they are providing whatever support or help is needed.

For people that are already using other Microsoft Azure solutions, I recommend Microsoft Azure API Management.

The ability to easily connect back to Service Fabric is the most important for us.

The importing of existing APIs is extremely easy. It's one of the better products.

The main benefit is that we are already on ExpressRoute. It is easy to integrate into our local network. Because we are mostly a Microsoft shop, we mostly use Azure API management because we don't want to run in different cloud providers right now since we are a financial company.

Microsoft Azure API Management should have the ability to allow multitenancy.

While the solution works well for us, I would like to see simple or integrated reporting built into the solution.

There is always room for improvement.

I have been using Microsoft Azure API Management for two years.

Microsoft Azure API Management is extremely stable.

Microsoft Azure API Management is very easy to scale.

I don't have any prior experience. We haven't had any issues or needed to contact the product's technical support.

The initial setup is straightforward. It is very easy to set up.

Because everything is automated directly from our pipelines, maintenance is a very small task that we require.

It is very easy to deploy, and configure.

We are partners.

I would rate Microsoft Azure API Management an eight out of ten.
