Governance has streamlined service registry usage but deployment and integration still need work
I work with GraphQL, REST API, and SOAP services as well. API Connect works with GraphQL and can deploy GraphQL services. I also work with GraphQL in Software AG webMethods API Gateway. I'm working with DataPower. I have experience with IBM API Gateway, API Connect, Event Stream, and App Connect, the Cloud platform integration. I didn't involve DataPower with BPM before. I have used the webMethods API Gateway. I have used an open-source framework that is not a product for a specific vendor. I work with GraphQL in three different products: API Connect, the API Gateway of the webMethods Software AG, and the Java Spring framework. I work with CentraSite and also work with the Integration Server, webMethods Integration Server, and Universal Messaging. The governance is powerful. I can recommend CentraSite for any industry working with service registry and repositories. I would rate it eight out of ten. I have seven years of experience with IBM solutions and rate them nine or ten out of ten. I have one year of experience with webMethods and rate it eight out of ten. I have five years of experience with other solutions. The overall review rating for this product is seven.

Centralized API documentation has supported versioned collaboration across our teams
We have tried automated code generation several times, and I think maybe some people are still using it somewhere, but it is not something that we do as a consolidated practice. At some point, we were missing some tagging of the APIs, and we could not do that. We asked the provider, but I do not believe they added that kind of support. However, we somehow gave up a bit because we are now in the process of moving to different platforms ourselves, so most likely we are not going to invest in improving this integration with SwaggerHub or how we are using it. We will just keep it going for the platform we are leaving, and then because our focus is in a different place, we are not looking to change or do other things. I am not using SwaggerHub's OpenAI management feature. We are not looking much at what they added new. We got some notification that they added things, but we have so many other things to do.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The governance is powerful, and you can look up services very easily, which may reduce some development cycle time."
"One of the best features of SwaggerHub is how it allows me to create APIs and control the evolution of APIs within an organization."
"Normally, they publish their APIs on SwaggerHub for seamless integration with SmartBear and ReadyAPI, which allows us to perform detailed end-to-end automation testing."
"It is a stable solution."
"SwaggerHub has significantly improved how my organization designs, documents, and manages APIs, centralizing API management so that all API definitions are stored in one location, which makes it easy for stakeholders, developers, QA, DevOps, and products to access the latest version."
"The best feature that SwaggerHub offers is the collaboration capability that helps us the most across all of our teams, as we have a single API infrastructure but several teams working in different areas of these APIs."
"I rate the solution's stability a ten out of ten."
"It is quite a useful tool. It is quite good with the validation of the spec. It works quite well in terms of errors and conformity to the OpenAPI standard. It is better than Visual Studio Code in terms of editing."
"SwaggerHub is helping with team collaboration, as all the people now know the link, they just go there and get the information they need, and it is really a documentation tool for sharing documentation information about the API we support."
 

Cons

"The setup is mild. It's not so simple and not very difficult. You can make it happen with some configuration, but it's not easy for non-professional people."
"The customization and doc formatting options for documentation pages are restricted in SwaggerHub."
"Some areas of SwaggerHub that could be improved include the interface between the code editor and the visual editor, the integration with private APIs, which currently requires an upgraded account."
"It could be more intuitive compared to one of its competitors."
"The review process should be improved. There seem to be some gaps, at least for us, for the editing part because we would like to have a full request review mechanism."
"The scalability aspect of SwaggerHub can be improved. It becomes a bit unreliable when the load is increased and isn't up to par with expectations for scalability."
"SwaggerHub could be improved with better integration for tools."
"We have to use additional tools to test APIs."
"In SwaggerHub, I appreciate that it is a powerful platform for API design and collaboration, but currently, the access control is somewhat limited."
