We performed a comparison between Microsoft Azure API Management and TIBCO Cloud 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."The UI management is very easy to use."
"The solution is reliable and very stable."
"Allows the possibility of VPN technology to connect your gateway directly with on-prem services"
"The documentation and configuration of APIs."
"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."
"We use Microsoft due to the stability of the company."
"It's very well integrated with the Azure environment."
"The most valuable features of Microsoft Azure API Management are the easy configuration and deployment with automation."
"Conversion to RESTful and SOAP protocols and management console (can manage individually throttled settings to manage our service levels for customers)."
"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."
"Very few outages or SLA issues."
"The platform's most valuable features are its capabilities to support security measures such as tokenization, token refresh, throttling, and enforcement of payloads."
"This has provided a new stream of traffic and exposure of our catalogue beyond the normal web store offering."
"When we did the product evaluation, we saw that TIBCO Mashery offers end-to-end API life cycle management. It provides all API features that are required for managing the complete life cycle. It includes the developer portal and tools for API monitorization. The out-of-box security features that TIBCO Mashery provides are enterprise-grade, which gives it an edge over other API products."
"It is easy to work with ."
"We can completely manage the APIs at the org level and BU (business unit) level."
"In the API you need to delete the suffix. It is annoying that you need to have a suffix. We can add a suffix at the API level, not at the operation level, and that could be improved on."
"In terms of improvement, it would be helpful if they could develop an on-premises option."
"It can be quite complex, somewhat lacking in flexibility."
"An area for improvement in Microsoft Azure API Management is deployment, in particular, the deployment of versions in Oryx. The development to production instance isn't adequate for me and needs to be improved. Microsoft Azure API Management lacks automation, which is another area for improvement."
"The developer console for external users could be improved, especially in the testing site."
"It should be easier to integrate."
"Microsoft Azure API Management needs to improve stability."
"The developer portal can be improved."
"Policy management has been a bit of a concern."
"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."
"It lacks many features at the API gateway compared to other solutions."
"TIBCO Cloud API Management should improve its installation and make it easy."
"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."
"The management console of API and customers' applications are not the most intuitive."
"We observed delays under heavy load conditions, and without proper tuning, changes could take an extended period to filter and become effective."
