  • Seamless operation, maintained without downtime.
  • Around the clock operation and support.
  • Supports advanced security measures.
  • Traffic monitoring has limited usefulness.

  • Hardly any integration with other Tibco products.
  • Some throttling changes require intervention by support.

  • Easy to onboard customers.
  • Proper usage analytics.
  • Simple process to customize and deploy a landing page.
  • More granular API logs. The logs provided today are hard to follow when calls cannot be filtered by keys.
  • There is no way to set an automatic block of keys which hit a certain limit.

  • Throttling of requests helps prevent DOS attacks. Attackers try to wreak havoc wherever they can. Mashery helps you control your environments to throttle every endpoint independently.
  • The interface for setting endpoints is very intuitive and makes real-time adjustment easy to do.
  • TIBCO Cloud Mashery support is superb. I do not have to go to their website to know of any issues. They are proactive in communicating with their customers
  • I would like to see some simplification of their interface. There is a lot of info required. It makes it a bit hard to get developers up to speed.
  • I would add a support dashboard including a health report (no site is perfect...they will have issues at times). It is expected. It should be easy to assess that fact.
  • My company wrote a tool that takes JSON files and maps the entries into endpoints in Mashery. It would be great for TIBCO to create a similar tool.

  • GUI access to quickly set up new APIs and clients of APIs
  • Easy to use throttle controls on API usage.
  • Cache-ing on APIs that do not need to hit our servers if Mashery can take care of the request, including allowing for specific exceptions to cache-ing.
  • Can Implement better UI interface for connectors
  • Configuration management is a bit difficult to configure.

  • TIBCO Mashery is a very stable platform. We run on-premise version without any major outages for more than 1.5 years.
  • Hybrid deployment model of Mashery is a big plus. Traffic can be routed through local gateways or through gateways hosted on Mashery cloud.
  • Mashery allows combining multiple API into packages which can be consumed by different applications. Even multiple API's can be combined into the single package and consumed by single API credentials.
  • Mashery organizational model is exceptional. It allows us to limit users to manage just their API's within suborganizations. It's great as multiple DevOps teams can independently manage API by themselves without talking to central API team and it keeps them in boundary of their suborganization.
  • Containerization is a big topic nowadays. Mashery has a container version for the local gateway, but there is some space for improvements. For example, docker images are too big. Mashery version 4 has also some limitations when it comes to autoscaling on Kubernetes. Version 5 should improve the situation.
  • Configuration management is a bit difficult without CLI interface. Support for terraform would be nice. Better support for CICD processes would help. We solved it by implementing own CLI component on top of Admin API, but one would expect such feature out of the box.
  • Some features which are present today like JWT token validation are possible only via plugins which are hard to get. Would be nice to open source them.

  • 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.
  • The API technology is advancing fast. Capability enhancements for message-driven APIs are not yet available in TIBCO Cloud Mashery.
  • While TIBCO Cloud Mashery features OAuth Token capabilities, integration with major OAuth and OpenID Providers is not straight forward.
  • TIBCO has enhanced the features on managing the platform using TIBCO APIs. Still, not all features are provided as APIs and require manual configuration in management portal.

  • A mostly GUI access to quickly setup new APIs and clients of APIs.
  • Easy to use throttle controls on API usage.
  • Cache-ing on APIs that do not need to hit our servers if Mashery can take care of the request, including allowing for specific exceptions to cache-ing.
  • Scoping of APIs can be a bit burdensome. Need more tooling from Mashery.
  • Better stability and monitoring.
  • Work on allowing cross API package access via the same package keys, even across Mashery instances.

  • On-premise implementation. Due to regulation policy, we need to deploy an API Gateway on our data center. Mashery supports the preferred deployment through the use of Mashery local. Mashery local integrates seamlessly with the Mashery configuration portal on the cloud.
  • Built-in API packaging and offering through API plan and package
  • Support several API security options, which can be configured per API basis.
  • The analytics and monitoring dashboard of Mashery is not good. We currently implement a proper dashboard outside the Mashery solution, by getting a raw access log from Mashery and process it on our own.
  • No built-in support JWT token API security
  • The documentation of Mashery in the portal are not easy to learn, and sometimes are not being updated.

  • It is really easy to use and the developer portal looks very professional without a lot of work.
  • The security and package set up for your customers is easy to set up and change based on your clients.
  • It was very easy to integrate into our systems and had very good uptime with the solution.
  • Mashery should allow orchestration and transformation out of the box rather than it being a service or having to buy additional services.
  • The dashboard is easy to use but I think it needs a face lift and it needs to start using TIBCO Spotfire to make it more of a analytical engine.

  • The platform is solid. The product's uptime is excellent and Mashery has not struggled to handle the volume of requests our clients have thrown at it.
  • Configuration is straightforward and intuitive. It's easy to create a new endpoint, a new package, a new API Key, etc.
  • Mashery is good at communicating with us when new features, or enhancements to existing features, are rolled out.
  • 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.

  • Service and uptime has been acceptable.
  • Proactive communication and engagement with account reps is strong. I believe Mashery values our feedback.
  • Administration / documentation portals have been buggy / slow to the point of aggravation
  • Better client-facing performance metrics and dashboards. Help us help ourselves :)

  • It allows the partners to onboard and configure their APIs .
  • Provides OAuth based authentication using various grant types
  • Developer portal is very useful to get to know the APIs and publish their documentation to do mock API calls.
  • Mashery is good in providing customized features/solutions to address the needs. Currently exploring the new features that are introduced recently.
  • Allowing the same configuration to be cloned from Dev--> Stage--->Prod, would be a great feature to have.
