APIM is useful for the standard scenarios: 1) Securing your back-end APIs - If you have a legacy back-end web service that has a basic authentication scheme, you can add some additional security by placing APIM in front, and requiring subscription keys. Leverage your existing firewall to ensure only your APIM instance can communicate with your back-end API, and you've basically added a layer of protection. 2) Lift and shift - there are always going to be clients that don't want to update their clients to use a newer API; in some cases you can make a newer API look like an older one by implementing some complex policies in APIM. You can also do the opposite, making older APIs look new, such as making an XML back-end accept both JSON and XML. 3) Centralizing your APIs - if you've acquired another company and want to make their API set look as if it's a part of the larger whole, APIM is an easy way to provide a consistent front-end interface for developers.

Mashery is great when it comes to deployment to your own datacenter and when it comes to managing third party API's like Salesforce using Mashery Cloud version. I would be a little bit more careful when deploying it on Kubernetes as it was not designed for it. New version 5 is re-architected to run more on natively on Kubernetes, but we have not tested it yet.Incentivized
Easy commissioning of APIs.Great policies to control access.Easy mock services for testing.Incentivized
Easy integration of the TIBCO Cloud Mashery developer portal allows simple onboarding and user and application management.Configuration of TIBCO Cloud Mashery is both flexible and focused to address the main tasks for an API Management solution.The built-in OAuth Token capabilities provide a quick start to properly manage application access.Incentivized
Lack of robustness is a bit of an issue. Several other providers offer more options and capabilities, but then, they are lacking in interface ease.As with anything Azure, pricing is really hard to stay on top of. I always find that you really don’t know what you’re paying for until you get the bill. Having an excellent Azure Administrator can help resolve that.Integrating with app services outside of Azure can be a challenge, or at least much more challenging than just using Azure App Services.Incentivized
The "Control Center" admin dashboard is not performant. We have a lot of configuration data in Mashery (many endpoints, many plans, many users, many keys, etc.) and the website struggles with the volume of data it has to deal with.Their systems have limitations that make it more difficult for us to operate the way we would like. For example, there is a limit to the number of API Definitions we can create, as well as a limit to the number of Endpoints we can define in a Plan.Their support organization leaves a lot to be desired. Responses are slow, and when they do come they are often inadequate. We have to re-phrase the question to get them to answer it differently, or we have to repeatedly follow up to ask for additional clarifying information.Incentivized

i find some of the package adding and key are complex . UI experience is bad . Every step need front and backward navigation too much. It would be better if endpoint itself contain package and key addiction option Incentivized
Support has been good overall.Incentivized
Initially it was difficult to understand . after few day , it was easy Incentivized
Azure APIM vs Amazon API Gateway: 1) Azure APIM was a complete package that included a developer portal.2) We are very Microsoft centric - so the Microsoft product suite aligned very well with our business needs.3) It was faster and easier to stand up Azure APIM for testing than it was for the Amazon API Gateway.

I've really only looked at Mashery since it has been around a very long time and has a rich feature set. I do know our platform teams are looking into AWS gateway but not sure this product has everything we need.Incentivized
We can always think of positive ROI impact on businessIt helps to easily facilitate the design, deployment, and maintenance of our APIs
As a API Mediation layer it has helped with the troublesome port setup with internal and external clients. Meaning it made that easy to the client that they know where to go for access to an API.The interactive documentation is very well put together and has reduced the time that developers have to go back and forth with each other to figure how to call the API.Incentivized
