IBM API Connect is more flexible and easy to use. It has a lot of features that differ in the market like API monetization & analytics.
This IBM system allows easy data transfer across many different platforms, and its API functionality is on top. The security for the multiple data processed via IBM API Connect is the best, and the access control and document management features are more responsive. Its interface is very friendly, and it is easy to learn the basic usability of IBM API Connect.

The BEST API Management Solution for Enterprises
There are two main reasons for choosing IBM over others. 1) Pricing 2) The conversation during the sales stage. The team at IBM understood our requirements and acted as consultants instead of sales people. They genuinely focused on providing a solution to our pain points which reflected during the implementation and continued after go-live in the form of technical support.
IBM APIC far and away blows the other two systems I've used out of the water. There really isn't any comparison, in my humble opinion. Ease of use, security, versioning, efficiency, accountability are basically 'forced' by APIC, which allows less burden on the users themselves.

Stable and secure API Integration product.
IBM API Connect is easier to use and develop API flows. The developer community and IBM Support are outstanding compared to other peers.

IBM API Connect is better but comes at a cost
- MuleSoft Anypoint Platform, Kong Gateway Community (Open Source) and Apigee
IBM API CONNECT competitors have the following advantages:
- Cost advantage
- Better user pool
- Better documentation
- Easier onboarding
Trans are constantly evaluating if they can avoid vendor lock-in with IBM.

IBM API connect review.
IBM API Connect and Apigee are both robust API management platforms. IBM API Connect was selected for its strong integration capabilities, hybrid cloud deployment options, and comprehensive analytics. It aligns well with organizations seeking flexibility and control over their API ecosystems, especially when dealing with complex integration scenarios across diverse environments.

APIC, a decent pick that could do better
- Kong Gateway Community (Open Source)
API Connect was far more mature, far quicker than Kong. It was clear a few years ago that API Connect features such as Applications and Product groupings were the way forward as Kong was at the time lacking these but planning to replicate them in their roadmaps

IBM API Connect for all your API needs
This is more of a combinatory set of features where it isn't a question of either or, but rather what and how when. Choosing the right tool and implementation format for the problem at hand - and having the option to select tooling from the full set in the toolbox.

Complete API management solution with room for improvement in DX, stability, and overall quality
- Axway AMPLIFY API Management, Apigee Edge, Kong Gateway Community (Open Source) and Azure API Management

IBM API Connect--to the future and beyond
IBM API Connect is very mature and offers lot of flexibility for enterprise requirements, highlighted in the following key areas:
- Consumer management
- Workflow on product lifecycle
- Intuitive UI-based development options
- Superior runtime with DataPower
- Easier code migration with single YAML deployment
- Rich analytics options like built-in dashboards
- Product architecture is flexible to accommodate hybrid or multi cloud designs easily
Above all, IBM API Connect has great execution capability. The product road map, especially with recent versions to adopt latest technologies and patterns, makes it a future-proof choice. Also IBM has a great ecosystem of supporting software like Cloud Pak, OpenShift, and RHEL.

Easy, reliable API management tool
As we have already have deep work relationship with IBM, when it comes to API gateway, we start looking at the API service IBM provides. And that is when we found out IBM API connect. It is very reliable and convenient tool to manage our API. It works with our cloud agnostic strategy.

Market leader in API Management
The power of IBM APIC is much more in contrast to Apigee or any other product of the same domain because it is having DataPower as the backbone which allows for easy integrating with almost any platform, providing the highest level of security, handling millions of transactions at wire speed and also capable of transforming the message content as and when required. Secondly, it acts as a unified portal for all the services and we can manage all the API's from a single place and make changes. We can look for any services here, it acts as a repository for all the organization services and we can assign specific audience to specific services.

API Connect
We selected API connect as both tools have more or less same features, the differentiation was we also use IIB, and seamless integration with IIB was the major factor
