This is par the best service I have seen in the cloud which is very easy to host and manage your APIs. The best part is monitoring and analyzing the issues so easily. The support from Microsoft is also so fast whenever needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing much to dislike. Querying part must be improved to get all the data to an excel for analysis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It provides excellent links for API communication, modernizes the standard of delivery and monitoring of queries and resources to use, I love having all the connections and data in one platform and connect to the back-end from wherever and the best everything is protected from end to end to ensure your integration.

The services contract is based on each hour and the queries in the long run become somewhat expensive if you have many APIs where there is a constant connection connection so you will have to increase the plan. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The software is a bit complicated to use for beginners/learners and the support is also slow to answer various concerns from clients. Besides, creating a new API is time-consuming. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

First evaluated when we tried to break the applications into functional pieces and micro pieces by introducing microservices and developing RESTful APIs. Once we started developing RESTful APIs, we were in need of test those APIs, educate developers about the models, publishing catalogs, authenticating and authorizing users for API usage, expose some of the APIs externally available in a central place. Tried AWS API gateway, swagger and few others and end up with using Azure API management because of below reasons:

1. Existing relationship with Microsoft Azure

2. Heavy use of DocumentDB

3. Very cost effective

4. Extensive monitoring & logging capabilities

5. Helpful Admin & Developer portals

6. Easy AD integration

7. Multi-region deployment

10. HA and fault tolerance

If you campare with AWS API Gateway, it is not the best but good enough for my need. It is still a strong enough tool for provisioning, managing and monitoring any type of APIs Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Azure API management is essentially PaaS. You need to move your all controls to internet/cloud. It took long time for our information security and legal to work on to come to an agreement. Long frustrating wait time.

Azure API management does not provide a way to generate SDK. You need to copy sample code from developers portal and use.

Has hard limits for each tier and that may creates lot of problem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

API management is a great program for process of design, publishing, documenting and analyzing APIs in a secure environment. It provides me with the ability to keep APIs in a store or catalog where I can expose them to internal and/or external stakeholders. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It truly is a great program, but I'd say it's only downfalls is that it can get expensive at first, as well as it's not as quick to use as they make it out to be. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We can rank representatives out throughout the whole dept by overall and individual metrics. We can also easily see how other depts are performing with just a few clicks. This helps out a lot with internal job transfers to other depts. azure API Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find when I have this application open that my other computer programs run very slowly Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
