## Azure API Management Reviews
  ### 1. API Management for Research

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Research | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 29, 2019

**What do you like best about Azure API Management?**

Allows individuals across the organization to collaborate on the brainstorming, creation, testing, refinement, and ultimate publication of APIs. Provides a single location for teams to work on the back end of the API and deploy it for use. 

**What do you dislike about Azure API Management?**

Not all members of the team will be equally willing to use the management tool or equally skilled with employing its functions. Creating a new API project can also be slow and time-consuming, which is difficult when projects need to move quickly.

**Recommendations to others considering Azure API Management:**

Make sure that your team members go through a training before trying to implement an API deployment together. It would help to have a test API before moving into a full-scale API management project. 

**What problems is Azure API Management solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Our organization has a large number of telecommuters who work from home or in different offices across the world. The API Management software allows programmers from across the organization to work together synchronously or asynchronously to develop our APIs in an efficient and cost-effective way. 

  ### 2. Azure API Management Review

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

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

**Reviewed Date:** January 31, 2019

**What do you like best about Azure API Management?**

Great for beginners - It has everything you'd need for a fully-functioning API.  And when you signup/register, you get full access to all of the functions.

**What do you dislike about Azure API Management?**

It is a great platform for beginners (like stated above) but once you get more advanced with your work, you might have to look into a platform that is more customizable. 

**Recommendations to others considering Azure API Management:**

If you are just starting out, this will be a great addition to your business. 

**What problems is Azure API Management solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We purchased Azure API Management in order to drive creativity and allow for more personal choices within our line of business. While working with Azure I have learned that a lot can be gained from such a "small" platform - even when you've been in the industry a while.
