Database Manager at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees
Facilitating seamless integration and robust security support
The integration process is very easy, which is crucial for our organization. Another valuable aspect is the support from Microsoft. Whenever support is required, it is readily available. Additionally, I appreciate the technical expertise Microsoft brings to the table. The security features are highly satisfactory, with various options providing flexibility to implement security measures based on specific compliance requirements.

Provides robust security for financial transactions and protects the ERP database from direct exposure
My main feedback is about the account management. I feel they should connect with clients more frequently, beyond just selling the product. They should actively seek feedback and tailor the approach to client needs. It shouldn't always be about pushing additional products. My main suggestion is focused solely on the account management approach, specifically fostering closer and more proactive client relationships. So, the pricing could also be bit improvement.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The stability and performance are good. It is easy to install, and it scales well too."
"Azure API is scalable."
"The analytics phase of API Management is very beneficial for tracking API usage and identifying suspicious users."
"Security is the top feature of Azure API Management."
"The most valuable feature is its role as a linchpin in AI Hub architecture, enhancing data handling."
"Microsoft Azure API Management is a good, comprehensive solution for enterprise implementation."
"There were no scalability issues."
"Everything is already available and ready to operate without a lot of preparation work."
"The security, the authentication, and the publishing qualities are great."
"The most valuable features for us are security and centralization."
"It is very secure, easy to manage, and easy to configure. It is a web-based API. Moreover, we get direct support from Oracle guys."
"The initial setup isn't overly difficult."
 

Cons

"There is a limitation of 32 kb of data in the APIs. Having the limitation increase would be a benefit."
"The licensing part of Microsoft is always higher than other platforms, like Amazon services and other cloud services."
"The developer console for external users could be improved, especially in the testing site."
"There is room for improvement in the user interface and workflow for hosting APIs, especially third-party APIs."
"They're trying to implement versioning and trying to be able to manage different versions of your API all at the same time, but they're not doing that just quite right yet."
"Microsoft Azure API Management could be improved by enhancing the preview feature, specifically the workspaces."
"One of the most important improvements for us would be if it supported the HTTP/3 version and new protocol over a quick connection."
"Specific to API development, I think Microsoft is still far behind AWS. AWS has grown by leaps and bounds, and Microsoft is a close second. But in terms of features and other stuff they provide, Microsoft's compatibility with publicly available APIs is a little limited. So, that is a little bit of a constraint. But what they provide is good, it's just that they need to build more on their API suite. I think Google is doing a really good job at that."
"Before gaining experience with the product, I found that it was not simple to use and things took longer to do than I had anticipated."
"From an administration and developer point of view, the user interface and user experience are not great."
"We'd like it if they could reduce the cost without sacrificing on features."
"Oracle should actively seek feedback and tailor the approach to client needs. It shouldn't always be about pushing additional products."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Because of our partner relationship, our pricing is pretty decent. But in general, if I compare pricing, I think the initial offer that we got from Microsoft until the relationship kicked in was more expensive than AWS. There were some unexpected expenses because we had to pause. This was due to our inexperience and because we were doing this significant public cloud migration for the first time. We were using SAP on a public cloud for the first time."
"It's being paid 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."
"We are paying standard fees to use Microsoft Azure API Management."
"There are additional costs to the standard licensing fees."
"Azure API Management is the most expensive solution on the market."
"The product pricing is reasonable."
"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."
"Oracle is not a cheap solution and it is not affordable for all of our clients in Portugal."
