Implementing the API was much easier than building an EC2 instance and implementing the API function. We are considering using API Gateway for our next product as well.

It is a productive platform for day-to-day API testing, collaboration and team coordination. This is especially useful in teams that follow agile methodologies where API changes frequently and often. It also helps in reducing the dependency on using multiple tools for API management and usage. It is best for teams in standardizing the API's on how to structure collections and environments. Having said that, there are a few minor limitations I feel. The problem is that if large collections are used then it becomes heavy and debugging would be somewhat tricky overall. One more thing is that I am using it when this review is being written.

My overall experience using Microsoft APIM is that it is very secure and very well integrates with Azure. There's a lot of options you can choose from. You can define an API, Create an AI API, Create from definition or Create from Azure resources. Sometimes it's very time consuming because it's complicated to troubleshoot esp if you don't have enough Microsoft skills

5. MuleSoft Anypoint Platform

(218 Ratings)

MuleSoft has been a strong foundation for our enterprise API and integration strategy. What has worked particularly well is the ability to implement API-led architecture at scale, enabling reuse across domains and improving delivery velocity across multiple programs. The platform performs reliably in complex environments, supports hybrid deployment models, and integrates well with both legacy and cloud-native systems. Standout strengths include: (1) a mature API-led connectivity model that drives reuse and standardization, (2) flexible deployment options (CloudHub, RTF, hybrid) that support enterprise constraints, and (3) strong governance and lifecycle management capabilities through Anypoint Platform. The partnership has also been a positive—engagement is collaborative, and issues are addressed quickly with a clear focus on long-term platform evolution. Challenges include: (1) platform complexity and a steep learning curve without strong standards and experienced teams, (2) cost management and capacity planning that require active governance, and (3) observability and monitoring across distributed integrations, which can require additional tooling and maturity. If starting over, we would invest earlier in governance, API standards, and operating model definition to reduce variability and improve consistency across teams.

IBM API Connect is widely used for its strong security, full lifecycle API management, and user-friendly interface, but users also report challenges with complexity, performance, and cost.If starting over, many organizations would invest more in training and planning before deployment. The best advice for prospective customers is to carefully evaluate scalability needs and prepare for the learning curve.

Kong team is pretty responsive to emails and followups. They have a good understanding of your product in general. Some advisors are more knowledgeable about our use case and are more helpful with that. Primary communication is from email, and things would go faster sometimes if it was Teams meetings or phone calls. Sometimes it would be helpful if they sought to understand more of what I was trying to do before providing an answer. A couple things were deprecated that we were using and I wonder if some of this stems from some startup growing pains of finding what works best.
