No dislikes so far. It would take time to find something because it is spotless and powerful.

It is beneficial for me to design APIs role-based. Efficiently distribute something with the role architecture.
It has a high-level infrastructure to support all types and improves our APIs, and the idea of shared API blueprints is well designed.

  ### 5. Apiary for API Documentation

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 05, 2019

**What do you like best about Apiary?**

Apiary is easy to use, and their formatting makes it easy to read the code

**What do you dislike about Apiary?**

It's not easy to transfer ownership of API documentation once it's been created, which isn't ideal for an agency's use for client projects

Definitely a great tool for API documentation, but if you're an agency or otherwise need to share or transfer the documentation, it might not have all the features you want

**What problems is Apiary solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Easy collaboration for API documentation

It allows me to access all of the resources that I need and serves as the "portal" to organize all of these company resources.

  ### 7. Quick and fluid way to document and prototype an API

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Internet | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 26, 2018

**What do you like best about Apiary?**

Getting a working API sandbox, and clean API documentation up rapidly. I've used this tool to explore different formats and work out how I want my API to work, without having to do a great deal of coding.

**What do you dislike about Apiary?**

I found that this tool became less feasible as my API grew past a certain size. At some point I'm past the point of prototyping, and I have code that is living and changing, it's suddenly becomes hard to keep my docs in sync with the API. I found that I was eventually reaching for a tool that generated docs based directly on my code and test suite.

I also found collaboration with this tool to be tricky. If there is a version / commit log feature I couldn't find it, so as we were editing it was very easy for things to get deleted, changed, or lost.

**Recommendations to others considering Apiary:**

When you're building an API from scratch, this tool is great!

**What problems is Apiary solving and how is that benefiting you?**

API Documentation and specification.
