Has required significant improvements due to limited features but offers simple implementation and good support
Boomi AtomSphere API Management has very few features. If you ask me to name the top two, I would say MuleSoft and Apigee, as it depends on the customer-to-customer use cases. After those, WSO2, Kong, and whether you say Informatica API Manager or Boomi AtomSphere API Management, they stand with only three out of ten features which are essential for API management. All the features that Apigee has, they need to add. All the features that MuleSoft has, they need to add. It is not a simple task. The problem is that they lack features. It is not their performance. There are many features to mention. When you take and compare all the features that Apigee has and all the features that MuleSoft has, they need to implement those features.

Has supported smooth channel partner integration and data analysis for several years
We use the existing services hosted in Microsoft Azure API Management without making any changes. For transformation capabilities, we utilize ADF, Data Factory instead of Microsoft Azure API Management. Regarding security features in Microsoft Azure API Management, we utilize token bearer authentication. As retailers with integration to our channel partners, we haven't experienced any security issues with Microsoft Azure API Management since it isn't exposed to external parties. We use a basic Azure function hosted in Microsoft Azure API Management rather than the integrated developer portal. Tracking analytics and performance analytics in Microsoft Azure API Management is straightforward. We use basic features for performance analytics and log analytics due to additional subscription charges. We enabled log analytics for Microsoft Azure API Management in the past month to investigate issues such as unreachable endpoints or request timeouts.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Integration is straightforward. There is no issue with it."
"We can create APIs straightforwardly and quickly and build jobs for data migration."
"Boomi allows for more secure URLs and easy customization of HTTP and HTTPS protocols, which I find very beneficial."
"Integrations take less time."
"AtomSphere API Management is a simple platform that's easy to use. If you're using it on-prem, there's a little learning curve."
"The stability of the solution is good."
"The user interface, which we use to create the integration, basically has the data structures collected, is pretty easy to navigate, is a drag and drop style of working, and there is very little code required so the creation of the endpoints is very simple."
"Boomi AtomSphere API Management is a good product for integrating with Boomi as a backend service."
"We chose Azure because it's easy to deploy and it's cheap."
"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 ability to create a subscription model for APIs allows companies to monetize valuable data and share it securely."
"We use this solution for API rate limiting and for its security features against DDoS."
"We use Microsoft due to the stability of the company."
"The API management and the hosting of the API platform are great."
"I like the stability and the ease of use."
"The ease of use of the solution is excellent."
 

Cons

"To some degree, you need to know what type or amount of API you are creating - whether it's a rest API or web service API. You need to know ETL in order to really get the most out of Boomi."
"Most of the basic functionality is there in Boomi, but APG is a more feature-rich solution."
"The API management has room for improvement."
"Scalability is an area where Boomi lacks."
"The product is really complex to manage."
"From an improvement perspective, the price could be cheaper."
"Overall, I would rate AtomSphere lower than solutions like APG or API Connect."
"Boomi AtomSphere API Management has very few features. If you ask me to name the top two, I would say MuleSoft and Apigee, as it depends on the customer-to-customer use cases."
"What would make Microsoft Azure API Management better are more APIs. They keep updating their APIs, but it would be better if the solution had more APIs for the services and more integration with other platforms."
"I would like to see more integration with other platforms, as well as increased security."
"It could be more user friendly for developers. It would be nice if developers could view things more easily."
"The API gateway can be very complex."
"I rate the technical support from Microsoft Azure API Management a four out of five."
"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."
"There's some area for improvement for this solution's performance. Sometimes it can be challenging."
"In the next release, Azure APIM should include deployment in various environments and CI/CD for deployment."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product can get very expensive quickly if you connect to multiple databases."
"Boomi AtomSphere API Management is a cheap product."
"Boomi AtomSphere API Management gives customers a good price. Price-wise, the product is good."
"The price is reasonable."
"Azure's pricing is very competitive compared to platforms like Apigee and MuleSoft."
"It costs around 30,000 Kronas a month, which translates to about $3,000 dollars monthly."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a five out of ten."
"Azure is a pay-as-you-go model. You build out your virtual environment and pay a monthly price depending on CPU cores, storage, etc."
"Since this is a cloud-based solution you have to abide by those financial limits, this creates some different challenges compared to other solutions."
"Since everyone is isocentric here, it is reasonable for me."
"I would describe the tool's price as being in the mid-range category."
"It's pay as you go. The subscription packages have room for different scales. It's calculated by the number of apps or computers you use. You do not have to use the enterprise subscription. These subscriptions have different pricing, so you can find one to meet your needs for scalability."
