"Flexible Hybrid API Management, But Advanced Configurations Need Clarity"

4/5

What do you like best about Gravitee.io?

What I appreciate most about Gravitee is its flexibility in managing APIs across hybrid environments, combining SaaS and self-hosted gateways within a centralized management platform.

The platform provides a user-friendly interface for managing API lifecycles, applying security policies, and controlling API exposure. Its integration with our existing infrastructure, including Cloudflare, GitLab CI/CD, and Datadog, is particularly valuable.

Another strong point is the ability to automate API deployments through GitOps, reducing manual configuration and improving consistency across environments.

Finally, Gravitee's continuous innovation around API management and AI capabilities makes it an interesting platform for our future integration architecture. Their technical support has also been helpful when investigating more complex configurations and issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Gravitee.io?

While Gravitee is a powerful API management platform, some areas could be improved.

One challenge is the complexity of certain configurations, especially in hybrid environments combining SaaS and self-hosted gateways. Features such as sharding tags, gateway deployment settings, and custom domains are not always intuitive and sometimes require additional documentation or support.

We've also experienced limitations with custom domain verification when using Cloudflare as a reverse proxy. Although API traffic continued working, the verification mechanism restricted our ability to manage domains without temporary DNS changes.

Another area for improvement is observability. The Datadog integration could offer more granular control over which metrics and tags are exported, helping organizations better manage monitoring costs and avoid unnecessary data collection.

Overall, greater configuration flexibility, clearer documentation for advanced scenarios, and more control over monitoring integrations would make the platform even better for enterprise environments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Gravitee.io solving and how is that benefiting you?

Gravitee helps us centralize API management and governance across a complex enterprise integration landscape, where different applications and services need to communicate securely across cloud and on-premises environments.

Previously, exposing APIs often required traditional reverse proxy configurations and additional infrastructure coordination. With Gravitee, we can manage API exposure, security policies, routing, and access control through a centralized platform, reducing operational complexity and improving consistency.

Its integration with our GitLab CI/CD pipelines also allows us to automate API deployments and manage configurations as code, reducing manual effort and supporting a more standardized deployment process.

Another important benefit is the ability to manage both SaaS and self-hosted gateways, giving us flexibility in how we expose internal and external services without compromising our architectural requirements.

Overall, Gravitee helps us move towards a more scalable, secure, and standardized API management approach while giving our integration team better control over the API lifecycle. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
