Microsoft Azure API Management Reviews

Microsoft Azure API Management is used for making the API calls from our internal application to another available internal application or to the external third-party applications. It can be hosted in the public environment or it can be a client application to which we are making a call and teaching the information. This solution is useful for making the API calls between the application. 

The Application Gateway we have found to be the most useful in Microsoft Azure API Management. We have integrated the Microsoft Azure API Management with Application Gateway. Application Gateway is a type of load balancer that we are using for the high availability of our API calls. 

Microsoft is releasing new features approximately every three to four months on each and every solution. Although it's not mandatory that we are using all the features of this particular solution because it depends on the business requirements. Whatever the features the Microsoft Azure API Management has, we are happy with them and we are using them.

The solution is secure and has all the components that we require. We are using the solution with the best practices.

I have been using Microsoft Azure API Management for approximately one and a half years.

Microsoft Azure API Management is a stable solution, it has high availability.

The solution is scalable.

We have used technical support once or twice a year. However, there is not much technical assistance required.

I rate the technical support from Microsoft Azure API Management a four out of five.

The initial setup of Microsoft Azure API Management is straightforward. It took us approximately 30 minutes to complete.

I would rate the initial setup of Microsoft Azure API Management a four out of five.

I rate Microsoft Azure API Management a nine out of ten.

I like API Management's ability to do hybrid cloud stuff.

Some of the DevOps stuff could be easier to work with. The migration paths are a little complicated, and moving code around could be more seamless. There should be less manual migration when several teams work together to publish code to the DevOps. 

For example, if you and I are working on the same application, and there are conflicts, you should be able to resolve those conflicts more easily. It shows you the conflicts, and you have to fix them yourself. Better conflict resolution with software migration is what I recommend.

I've been working with Azure API Management for maybe five years in total.

Azure API Management is relatively stable.

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.

I rate Azure API Management nine out of 10. I prefer Microsoft products to the others out there because Microsoft has always catered to software developers as opposed to Amazon or Google, which do a lot of other things. Microsoft has always had the best development toolsets, and it's better for application developers.

The main uses of this solution are sharing data, internal integrations, and combining different backend services into one API proxy. In the latter case, we extract the whole complexity of the integration, and after the work is done, there's a proxy available that can be used and reused by API consumers.

The most valuable features are authentication and authorization. I would also argue that the mediation and translation from SOAP to REST technology is equally important because it makes it possible to open up legacy systems that couldn't be opened before.

An improvement would be to provide more information about additional prices and the onboarding process.

I've been using this solution since 2016.

Azure is very much stable.

This solution is very scalable.

You really need an expert to onboard the solution because it comes with more complexity than you might think. Also, internal teams often start playing with the solution during onboarding instead of sticking to best practices, which can result in having to start the process over again.

The ROI on API management as a concept metric that we are using in conversations is that we can reduce integration lead times by 90%. So, where an integration would take a hundred days before, we can deliver that same integration in ten days after implementing Azure.

Azure's pricing is very competitive compared to platforms like Apigee and MuleSoft. However, when you start with Azure API management, you also need to onboard the Azure console and the Azure cloud environment, which comes with a price.

Azure is the best-priced quality solution in the market. If you have business-critical processes running over API management, I would advise installing managed services either internally or from a partner to have that very close follow-up. I rate this solution eight out of ten.

Microsoft Azure API Management is used for platform deployment, hosting, virtual servers, third-party integrations, and the Azure Marketplace.

Without a doubt, it has a very robust, strong marketplace where we can directly integrate with existing APIs and begin working on those.

Microsoft Azure API Management is a secure solution.

It should be easier to integrate.

We are in the process of migrating from Amazon AWS to Microsoft Azure API Management. We are just getting started, we have been using it for a few weeks.

Microsoft Azure API Management is a stable solution.

Microsoft Azure API Management is definitely a scalable product.

It is not based on how many resources will be used, but we will be using three virtual machines from the Azure platform.

We plan to increase our usage.

We are Microsoft partners, MSP, and we have our own service providers to support this activity.

We use Google Workspaces and our platform is on Microsoft Azure.

Previously, we were using AWS EC2 Instances, but because we are a Microsoft MSP and also took into account the Active Directory capabilities and the Azure Marketplace, we decided to shift more to Azure.

The initial setup is more or less straightforward.

It took a couple of weeks to complete the entire migration from Amazon AWS to Microsoft Azure API Management.

Licensing fees are paid on an annual basis.

At the moment, we are not using CRM solutions but we are looking into Zoho CRM.

We had planned to use Salesforce, but we changed our minds and decided to use Zoho CRM instead.

I would recommend this solution to others who are interested in using it.

I would rate Azure API Management a nine out of ten.

The ability to easily connect back to Service Fabric is the most important for us.

The importing of existing APIs is extremely easy. It's one of the better products.

The main benefit is that we are already on ExpressRoute. It is easy to integrate into our local network. Because we are mostly a Microsoft shop, we mostly use Azure API management because we don't want to run in different cloud providers right now since we are a financial company.

Microsoft Azure API Management should have the ability to allow multitenancy.

While the solution works well for us, I would like to see simple or integrated reporting built into the solution.

There is always room for improvement.

I have been using Microsoft Azure API Management for two years.

Microsoft Azure API Management is extremely stable.

Microsoft Azure API Management is very easy to scale.

I don't have any prior experience. We haven't had any issues or needed to contact the product's technical support.

The initial setup is straightforward. It is very easy to set up.

Because everything is automated directly from our pipelines, maintenance is a very small task that we require.

It is very easy to deploy, and configure.

We are partners.

I would rate Microsoft Azure API Management an eight out of ten.

We use this solution to integrate with a third party with API integration.

So far, we are satisfied with the product. The stability and performance are good.

It is easy to install, and it scales well too.

The technical support is good, and we get prompt support.

It could be more user friendly for developers. It would be nice if developers could view things more easily.

I've been using this solution for nearly six months.

It's a cloud-based solution.

So far, there's good stability, and we have not had any issues with it.

Because it is on the Azure platform, it is always scalable and is easy to scale as well. If you want to use it more, then we can add more resources.

We started using Microsoft Azure API Management six months ago as a POC, and now it's online. We probably have about 30,000 users.

We hope to increase usage by moving all API onto API Management.

Microsoft's technical support is good. We have the premium support package, so we get support straight away. 

The initial setup is straightforward.

Because you need to define the API contract, initially it may take about two months. However, this is not due to the Microsoft product.

We had our internal consultant handle the implementation. We had a team including an integration engineer.

We pay for a yearly license.

I would recommend Microsoft Azure API Management and would rate it at eight on a scale from one to ten. 

We are in the healthcare industry, so all the applications which are related to one hospital, it binds to Microsoft Azure API Management, and this is our use case for it.

I like the integration function of Microsoft Azure API Management. Integration of this solution is easy.

There's some area for improvement for this solution's performance. Sometimes it can be challenging. We're working with design patents and we're hoping to see the performance issues sorted out.

We've been working with Microsoft Azure API Management for a year now.

Microsoft Azure API Management is a stable product, but we have not been able to test it yet on a multi-cloud environment.

Microsoft Azure API Management is scalable. There are no issues with its scalability.

Microsoft has a good technical support team. They are very helpful.

Integration of this solution is easy. I won't call it an initial setup. It's an integration.

I was able to work with Apigee.

We used Microsoft Azure API Management only in the Microsoft environment, but not in a multi-cloud environment.

Microsoft Azure API Management is cloud-based, in particular, it is a single cloud centered around Microsoft components and not on the Cross components.

I have no idea on how long it took to implement Microsoft Azure API Management. The testing and development team is the best resource on how long it took.

The number of users of this solution in the group I'm associated with is 300,000. Increasing the number of users will depend on the mergers and acquisitions, and how the group is doing.

For maintenance, we have a backend support team that handles application support. The major point is that if the API has a lot of issues, particularly in data silos, Microsoft Azure API Management has made it more convenient to manage those.

We're still trying and testing the integration function of this solution, and we're also trying to go deeper into its performance.

My rating for Microsoft Azure API Management is a nine out of ten.

I don't have any variance data with Apigee. Apigee is better than Microsoft. I have more numbers for Apigee compared to Microsoft.

Most of the features are valuable to me. We are actively exploring the monetization aspect of Azure, and we are also working on a proof of concept to accomplish this.

The only complication I encountered was configuring the authentication in the API Management. That was a little difficult for me, but it gets better after that.

I could that the UI could be improved. All services have the use of Visual Studio to do the coding and to change the configuration. It would be beneficial to include that with Microsoft Azure API Management.

I have been working with Microsoft Azure API Management for more than two years.

Microsoft Azure API Management is a stable product.

It is easy to scale Microsoft Azure API Management.

We have fast-track support from Microsoft, which we do receive.

We are satisfied with the technical support of Microsoft.

The initial setup was simple, with no complications, other than the configuration of the authentication in the API Management.

Since everyone is isocentric here, it is reasonable for me. Rather than getting complicated with other licensing, and other products' licensing. There are many, many different types of licensing available in other products, such as perpetual for ten users. If you want more than ten users, you'll have to pay a higher license fee. As a result, we are not falling into those kinds of traps. Previously, we had to pay as you go.

I would rate Microsoft Azure API Management eight out of ten.

I am using Microsoft Azure API Management to connect external systems.

The solution has overall high performance.

Microsoft Azure API Management could improve by having better integration with third-party solutions.

In an upcoming release, there should be more focus on API lifecycle management, such as MuleSoft provides and the API gateway is not comprehensive enough, we need to put a lot of extra effort doing manual work. 

I have been using Microsoft Azure API Management for half a year.

The solution is stable.

For what we have been using the solution for it has been scalable.

Our company is a medium-size using this solution.

We have found some configuration that is not supported by the solution yet. There is room for improvement in their support.

I would rate the technical support of Microsoft Azure API Management a four out of five.

The setup and configuration are very quick.

The price of the solution is reasonable compared to others. 

We are still looking for a better API-optimized solution.

I would recommend this solution for some small and medium-sized projects, as it is quite easy and effective to start with. I am not sure if it is suited for large companies that have heavily loaded APIs which the solution might not be able to support.

I rate Microsoft Azure API Management an eight out of ten.

We use Microsoft Azure API Management with a custom software solution.

I like the stability and the ease of use.

The licensing fees should be cheaper.

I have been using Microsoft Azure API Management for three years.

It is a scalable solution. We have 60 users in our organization who use this solution.

Technical support is good.

I knew MuleSoft Anypoint. I worked with it for two years.

It was better for the enterprise architecture to use Microsoft Azure API Management.

Microsoft Azure API Management is easy to install.

We have a team of four engineers and managers to maintain this solution.

The licensing fees are expensive. I would like it to be cheaper.

Our licensing fees are paid on a monthly basis.

I would recommend this solution to others who are interested in using it.

I would rate Microsoft Azure API Management an eight out of ten.
