Good way to go!
I'm using TIBCO Mashery on a daily basis. Entire Travel Insurance backend is using it to provide an API gateway solution and also address authentication and authorization for our API partner. It also adds one level of security for API endpoints.
Also our API partner uses this for both authentication and authorization.

Mashery - the only choice for API Management solution
TIBCO Mashery is used as an API gateway across the business applications and also in the legacy stack. TIBCO Mashery as an API Management Layer helps quickly deploying APIs and easily set the policies on them.
It is very easy to set the rate limits, plans, quotas, security policies across the set of APIs.
It is very easy to set the rate limits, plans, quotas, security policies across the set of APIs.

TIBCO Mashery positive
TIBCO Cloud Mashery is being used across several organizations to maintain consistency across all of our API usage. Since we are a SaaS company, we have several APIs in use and several different departments that use them. Especially now that we are moving quickly to cloud native solutions, including containers, we need the ability to standardize processes.
- Communication.
- Ease of use.
- Detailed.
- Sales team needs to be aggressive on pricing.
- Support needs to be more proactive.
- Better customer feedback.

Mashery: fast track to the API market
Tibco Cloud Mashery is used for all external API calls entering our organization, whether it's from mobile apps, websites, or third party providers and partners. It allows us to secure access by identifying callers, throttling traffic, and encrypting data entering the network. With ever increasing communication demands from the entire organization, Mashery acts as a cloud-based gateway, and relieves us of maintenance, while providing a worldwide network of access point.
- Seamless operation, maintained without downtime.
- Around the clock operation and support.
- Supports advanced security measures.
- Traffic monitoring has limited usefulness.
- Conceptual design is not intuitive, complicating administration.
- Hardly any integration with other Tibco products.
- Some throttling changes require intervention by support.

API Gateway for Enterprise
TIBCO Cloud Mashery is used as the company API Gateway for many different digital solutions. We use it with all our mobile applications and web portals. It is used in different business areas and solutions.
- Traffic management at scale
- Security for APIs
- API mashups
- CI/CD integrations
- Support for open API
- Documentation portal
We currently use TIBCO Mashery as our customer API platform to provide access to our API and meter their traffic. The Mashery platform provides an easy way to grant our customer access, but also protect our services as well. It is used across our organization and for all of our customers.
- 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.

TIBCO Cloud Mashery - The Flexible Choice
We use TIBCO Cloud Mashery to control traffic to our environments...not only to production but to our lower environments. It helps protect access to PII information and our clients' financial information. This information is expected to be protected not only in a legal aspect but in the aspect of company integrity. We take pride in providing services to the automotive industry and we are obligated to protect our customers and TIBCO Cloud Mashery helps do that.
- 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.

Mashery API
Mashery is being used as an API management tool fronting our public API to clients. Used across the whole organization. It allows the business to decouple systems and enable wider distribution through API technologies to customers and partners.
- Great customer account management.
- Smart solution architects.
- Improving the Mashery legacy user administration tool.
- Improve in high availability and redundant systems.
- More features in API gateway like resiliency.
- Better tools to build out API docs and API user portal.

Great Product! Worth the test!
TIBCO Cloud Mashery is used as a content management tool, and a great way to build out API documentation. It also allowed us in the past to secure and open secure APIs to other teams outside of our organization. It was used by a specific department within our organization to help address a very specific need we had at the time, rather than the whole organization.
- Make private APIs safe and secure to use.
- Great for building our API documentation.
- Powerful content management tool.
- Changing themes require lots of custom coding.
- UX & UI was not very intuitive and needs work.
- Build-in support can be improved.

TIBCO Mashery Cloud Review
TIBCO Cloud Mashery was used by a single department initially and, then, exposed across the organization.
- 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 Cloud review
TIBCO Mashery is our core API management platform. We use it to manage our API's hosted on-premise as well in the cloud. Mashery is used across the whole organization by different teams and departments. Mashery allows us to manage access to our API's and gives us insights about how our API's are used by API consumers.
- 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.

API Management at its core, without bells and whistles
TIBCO Cloud Mashery enables connectivity for mobile applications. It serves as connector for startups and partners as well as for internal and partner airlines. It is used in the key area of the enterprise. The services offered on TIBCO Cloud Mashery enable new businesses. They are used for data sharing. Finally they allow IT solutions to be created by business departments without the need to have bespoke development and interaction with the IT departments.
- 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.
Mashery has been our API management tool across all of Cox Automotive (over 26 business units including companies like Manheim, AutoTrader, KBB, ..). The main problem it solves is proper access to hundreds of APIs built by our teams.
- 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.

TIBCO Mashery acts as an API Gateway to drive digital transformation
Mashery acts as our API Gateway in our digital transformation program. Currently, it's being used as a pilot to serve internal API consumers, but soon it will be extended to be used IN the whole organization.
The API Gateway helps us to decrease the time required for API consumer/clients onboarding and applying different QoS and security options per client/consumers.
The API Gateway helps us to decrease the time required for API consumer/clients onboarding and applying different QoS and security options per client/consumers.
- 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.

Mashery at a Glance
We use TIBCO's Mashery to be our API gateway to surface data and a way for our partners to interact with our business services.
- 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.

My TIBCO Cloud Mashery Review
We use Mashery in the Engineering department as an API Gateway for a client-facing RESTful API that has thousands of unique endpoints. We use it because we didn't want to have to reinvent the wheel on security, authentication, permissions, access rights, and things of that nature.
- 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.

Mashery -- solid performance; clunky administration
We use Mashery to help authenticate and cache users for our business-to-business data delivery API.
- 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 :)

Best of API Management Platforms
At Cisco, we externalize API services using TIBCO Mashery, which is one of the best API management solutions.
- 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.

Mashing the Mashery Techniques
Mashery's API is being integrated in into the backend development of our company. It is being used throughout the entire organization across the market sectors, front end development, as well as the back end side of our projects. We integrate Mashery into the Ruby code and utilize this in order to address the problems of server capacity as well as the server side analytics being done at our marketing firm.
- Simple to use
- Very effective in what it does
- All around product that allows for QoL to be improved
- Revolutionary in terms of features
- I didn't like some of the features that were hard to understand.
- I wish it was more user friendly.
- Hard for new hires to implement or use.
