Centralized gateway has strengthened API security and provides deep traffic analytics
Potential areas of improvement or lack of functions in Axway AMPLIFY API Management is a challenging question because even after working for almost six years, I have not been able to touch everything this tool offers. This tool is very comprehensive and useful. However, from my opinion, when there are different dashboards on which the API platform shows monitoring, I expect Axway AMPLIFY API Management to be more visible in terms of showing pre-historic data. In other words, if there is a very large volume or very large number of transactions going on live in production, sometimes it purges the previous data very quickly, leaving only one or two hours of data. When there is very low volume, it can sustain data up to five days. The visibility of the previous historic database is a feature that could be improved. Different tools can be used to empower this capability, such as Splunk or the ELK stack, which includes Elastic. There are different features that could be used, but Axway as an organization would likely implement their specific products. I am simply providing a very basic opinion anonymously and do not want to sound like I am against this organization.

Trust and reliability have been established with long-term usage and significant integration benefits
TIBCO Cloud API Management offers API management plus the ability to orchestrate all inbound and outbound API calls. When an API is exposed to the external system, it functions as a single integration. Behind the scenes, you can perform extensive API modeling, aggregation, and downstream systems can have more than one API and give the response back to a single API call. It has many features such as orchestration rule engine, which makes it quite good. TIBCO Cloud API Management has brought numerous benefits for our organization, especially in product maturity and support. Sales and support are strong areas, and I think it is very good. If they do not get the right support, then they should consider other options. The sales and support also provides cost optimization.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable features are security enforcement and throttling."
"I don't believe the Salesforce has been fully utilized yet. It gives us quick engagement."
"In general, API governance provides a better experience for providers."
"Centralized API Platform allow us better reusability and monitoring"
"Axway is a good product according to Gartner which is why we started to adopt it."
"The most valuable features are security enforcement and throttling."
"For what we do, the API portal capability is the most valuable feature."
"The UI and UX are quite good and easy to understand."
"The reason why we selected the solution originally was because of its ability to have a gateway both on-premise and in the cloud."
"The most valuable aspect of Mashery is its stability."
"Conversion to RESTful and SOAP protocols and management console (can manage individually throttled settings to manage our service levels for customers)."
"It is easy to work with ."
"The control that we have and the security features are very valuable. With regard to API implementation or API orchestration, it works very well in the cloud because as soon as you create an API with one click, you can actually expose your APIs."
"TIBCO API gateway is one of the best products available around this space."
"We can completely manage the APIs at the org level and BU (business unit) level."
"The platform's most valuable features are its capabilities to support security measures such as tokenization, token refresh, throttling, and enforcement of payloads."
 

Cons

"The product shows a lack of maturity. The setup is difficult, the tech support and community are lacking, and it is not very stable."
"In terms of customer service, the company needs to be easier to contact, and the support team needs to understand the situation and the product itself better."
"The API Mocking tools need to be improved."
"Axway's queuing messages could be enhanced."
"In terms of customer service, the company needs to be easier to contact, and the support team needs to understand the situation and the product itself better."
"A significant area of improvement for Axway AMPLIFY API Management is the Amplify Central portal, which should help expose APIs on a webpage for potential customers."
"It would be great if they have an asset report. It's hard to get support for that."
"The product shows a lack of maturity. The setup is difficult, the tech support and community are lacking, and it is not very stable."
"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."
"TIBCO Cloud API Management should improve its installation and make it easy."
"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."
"They can fix some stability issues and probably make it more user-friendly so that not only an IT savvy person but an end-user can also easily navigate through this solution."
"Monetization is not that great in API management. You need customization."
"The pricing could be improved. It's too expensive right now."
"It lacks many features at the API gateway compared to other solutions."
"The way the Agile life cycle works needs improvement. I also want to see more support for open API standards."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is expensive. When you acquire a license you have full access to the solution, unlike other competitors such as Apigee X, where there are fragmented licenses. Some licenses only allow access to certain features while others allow access to more features. Upon procuring this solution's license, you will have full access to the solution, allowing you to experiment with all of its features."
"TIBCO Cloud API Management is not an expensive solution."
"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."
"We have secured terms on which we have been happy to renew for a number of years."
