We performed a comparison between IBM Cloud Pak for Integration and Microsoft Azure 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 most preferable aspect would be the elimination of the command, which was a significant improvement. In the past, it was a challenge, but now we can proceed smoothly with the implementation of our policies and everything is managed through JCP. It's still among the positive aspects, and it's a valuable feature."
"The most valuable aspect of the Cloud Pak, in general, is the flexibility that you have to use the product."
"Cloud Pak for Integration is definitely scalable. That is the most important criteria."
"It is a stable solution."
"The UI management is very easy to use."
"The user management is pretty seamless."
"We use this solution for API rate limiting and for its security features against DDoS."
"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."
"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 most valuable feature of Microsoft Azure API Management is the developer portal because it's very quick and easy to get something published."
"I like API Management's ability to do hybrid cloud stuff."
"The tool helps to manage APIs."
"The pricing can be improved."
"Its queuing and messaging features need improvement."
"The initial setup is not easy."
"Setting up Cloud Pak for Integration is relatively complex. It's not as easy because it has not yet been fully integrated. You still have some products that are still not containerized, so you still have to run them on a dedicated VM."
"The integration with other API gateways is where they might try to improve."
"Microsoft Azure API Management is lagging behind Apigee and should also have a better CICD process."
"Microsoft Azure API Management should have the ability to allow multitenancy."
"This solution is only available as a cloud-based deployment and it would be very helpful to have an on-premises version."
"Microsoft Azure API Management's most valuable features are the microservices we used to use. They were API callers to receive communication with the network and building system, to complete the request. The response would be through the processing system."
"Sometimes when immediate support is required, it isn't available."
"The scalability of this solution could be improved. The volume which the API Management task service can handle needs to be improved. Cost wise, this solution could be optimized."
"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."
