    Envoy
    Envoy Visitors would suit most office buildings and locations. It will easily cater to small, medium, and large enterprises. It is multi-faceted and very flexible to cope with any amount of people's data and is excellent for any companies wishing to capture the numbers of people entering and leaving their buildings. Its reporting capabilities are especially useful for operational and maintenance management.

    Based on our experience, IBM API Connect clearly excels in large enterprises navigating complex B2B ecosystems, especially within the Fintech and Banking sectors. Its capabilities are particularly valuable for achieving Open Banking compliance, facilitating the monetization of data and services, and seamlessly operating in hybrid cloud environments. However, it's crucial to understand that IBM API Connect primarily functions as an API management and orchestration tool. This means that backend integrations with providers like databases are best handled by dedicated integration middleware, such as IBM App Connect, allowing API Connect to then securely and efficiently expose those functionalities to external entities.

    • API discovery feature is very helpful to allow us to scope the work required before diving into things.
    • The ability to set permissions and rulesets at a user level is essential to restrict access to specific datasets.
    • Ability for external users (those from outside our organisation) to leverage the API in more restrictive manner.

    Cons
    Envoy
    • There aren't any features that are hard to use
    • In my opinion, I wish I can have an "idiot button" for visitors to press when they say "This is too complicated..."
    • I wouldn't mind if it were more personalized. Like to change a font color or background to match with a particular user.

    • Improvement can come in the interface of the tool, which is sometimes complex and requires a deep understanding of the tool.
    • Improving the different levels of access to the playroom could be helpful because product owners and developers need to see other information.
    • Publishing API and integration of API can be more straightforward.

    I can honestly say that the availability of the platform has been incredible, with almost no disruptions during the two years of the implementation. Availability is provided through the distributed architecture that may be deployed in multiple zones. We have had almost no cases of unplanned outages, and most maintenance operations were done during planned downtimes.

    Support Rating
    Envoy
    The system is very easy to use and intuitive so did not need to contact support on any occasion. Even when there was a major overhaul to the user interface, the reference and help docs assisted with finding features and functions. Overall due to the lack of needing to actually contact a support representative has given this application a high overall support score.

    I would imagine that Envoy has a very user-friendly and streamlined process for the visitor registration office. After the pandemic, solutions like this weren’t really in place. Now that the hybrid workforce is something of the foreseeable future, we were able to onboard with Envoy very quickly and it has cemented itself as an application of usage within our stack.

    Return on Investment
    Envoy
    • Because we are a non-profit, every visitor has the potential of being a donor or volunteer. Before we had this system we didn't have an easy way to follow-up or even capture information.
    • We create technology that helps the homeless communities, with that people have an expectation that we are up to date on technology. Envoy looks and feels like us.

    • Our company benefited from IBM API Connect's assistance in establishing cooperation with our outside providers and efficiently managing the API. As a result, we were able to expand our vendor ecosystem.
    • Additionally, creating APIs and implementing them on the goods was not too difficult. Additionally, we were able to ensure that only appropriate people could publish the APIs following evaluation by using role-based access control.
    • Our teams were able to reuse and share departmental APIs and services with each other thanks to the simple, self-service developer site.
