“Apiary - Platform to create efficient and reliable APIs”

4.0
Aug 23, 2021
Apiary helped us in building the overall security and provided deployment flexibility. It also helped us in building the reliable API service and it was bit fast when compared to other product/service. But unfortunately we missed the ability to customize the developer portal which is one of the drawback.

Reviewer Insights for: Apiary

Apiary Likes & Dislikes

Like

faster and reliable development facilities, Event driven API were available which was very useful for developers and also it provided maximin limit of deployment flexibility.

Like

Quite adaptable to deploy in hybrid environment which we had in place. Customisation was just a perk and went flawlessly.

Like

Apiary has the fine UI I actually have ever discovered. This makes it smooth to apply and understand. Within the platform, you may push modifications in your present repository. This makes it handy to make an edit on line and feature it sync together align with your repo. I additionally love the capacity to create a group among a few workers as editors or viewers. Human readable API definition is the fine and makes a distinction in comparison to Swagger. It has a variety of functions like documentation, brief edit, validation of apiary definition thru fashion guide. You also can proportion API definition thru API to the outside portal.

Dislike

The main drawback is customization i.e,. we could not customize our developer portal and we were allowed to use only the standard stuffs available in the product. It provided deployment flexibility and it was faster but monetizing the APIs developed was bit difficult.

Dislike

When it comes to service, i felt like there were too many experts jumping the gun but thanks to my team mates who held their nerves and exercised their expertise to tune the things in right notion.

Dislike

There isn't anyt any opportunity of conditional statements. As it's handiest text-primarily based totally, it's without a doubt clean to interrupt the entire assignment through a solo typo. It's now no longer clean to switch possession of API documentation as soon as it's been created, which isn't best for an agencies use for patron projects. Lack of consumer quit alternatives to alter the UI. I discovered that this device have become much less possible as my API grew beyond a sure size. At a few factor I'm beyond the factor of prototyping, and I even have code this is residing and changing, it's all of sudden will become difficult to maintain my medical doctors in sync with the API. I discovered that I become finally achieving for a device that generated medical doctors primarily based totally immediately on my code and check suite.

    Very easy tool for API

    5.0
    Apr 27, 2021
    The important appeal for me seems to be it's interface which has a completely striking, stylish and on the identical time very clean to apply layout which helped me to evolve speedy to this application, the reality that it may create a code repository of a reasonably easy and easy manner marked it a completely beneficial device to perform collaboration and code model manage with the relaxation of my co-workers, in addition, the reliant that it has an internet editor is ideal for making code edits from the browser while not having to download, edit after which re-add the file, now no longer to say that the modifications made so far are mechanically synchronized in a count number of seconds with all of the documents belonging to our team.

    Excellent API tool

    5.0
    Apr 23, 2021
    Interface is one of the best thing that I liked about this product. It's excellent how everything is made so user friendly. It is very adaptive for the new users or the users that have switched to Apiary from some other similar platform. One of the best thing is how they claim and deliver the promise of writing the API in 30 mins. Not only thins you can share it with your team mates and customers and see if this is what the requirement is. So this means, you can be 100 percent sure what is needed by the customer before you even start with the final coding. Brilliant is the word I would like to use for this platform.
