AD
Technical Solution Architect at liwa
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.
CHEW YONG - PeerSpot reviewer
Principle Solution Architect at beans
Facilitates seamless integration while offering room for OpenShift flexibility
I am still a reseller for IBM products today. I focus on integration solutions. For integration, my clients are using CP4I. For CP4I, I'm using ACE-S, API Connect, and MQ. These are the three products I'm selling from IBM. My clients are using IBM App Connect on-premises. I basically sell open source, specifically Red Hat Integration for integration purposes. Red Hat Integration is part of the Red Hat Integration bundle, which includes two different software solutions bundled together with Red Hat. It's bundled with the OpenShift plus the foundation. I am a Principal Solution Architect. I would be available for them to reach out by email for any questions or comments regarding my review. I want to be a reference for them. I rate Red Hat Integration an eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Other than that, it's easy to use and start up."
"The ease of setting up a new solution is the most valuable feature. It's very easy to set up a new solution and to deploy it to production."
"The way the API management handles the calls and call throttling is excellent."
"The initial setup is not that complex, but there are certain challenges."
"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."
"The analytics phase of API Management is very beneficial for tracking API usage and identifying suspicious users."
"The ease of use of the solution is excellent."
"The simplicity to learn and apply using API Management is valuable."
"Real-time event streaming is good because you can do real-time data insight, monitor any event that happens, take the action, and provide a real-time dashboard based on certain data."
"The most valuable features of Red Hat Integration lie in its ease of customization for business needs and the flexibility to design workflows according to specific requirements."
 

Cons

"From my understanding, there are some constraints around governance and service-to-service intercommunication managing priorities and our own governance."
"Support for GraphQL could be better."
"Nothing in specific but there is always some improvements that can be made to user interface to enhance and improve the UX experience."
"The cloud deployment performance could be better. Technical support could use some improvement."
"For Microsoft Azure API Management, the current problem is that the log cost is very high."
"Latency is an area that needs improvement, especially for multi-tenant applications."
"Sometimes when immediate support is required, it isn't available."
"They should improve the inbuilt policies that they have and that should properly create a deployment architecture as well."
"The performance of a few computations for the message broker version could be more stable."
"The disadvantage of Red Hat Integration is that it has to be tightly coupled to the OpenShift platform, so I couldn't run it on any platform other than OpenShift."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Since this is a cloud-based solution you have to abide by those financial limits, this creates some different challenges compared to other solutions."
"The price is comparable."
"The developer and standard pricing tiers of Azure API Management are very competitive compared to other products."
"The solution is highly expensive. Our customers worry about the costs. The price should be a lot less."
"Microsoft Azure is an expensive solution not for the large enterprises but for the medium and small."
"It costs around 30,000 Kronas a month, which translates to about $3,000 dollars monthly."
"Compared to other solutions the cost is a seven out of ten."
"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."
"It is an expensive platform and not suitable for small companies."
