Mashery (now part of Boomi) Reviews & Insights

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.

We have scenario with multiple partners using multiple authentication method for accessing TuGo API. Mashery supports most of them. That's the good part . Creating and cloning endpoint and assigning packages via UI is not a great experience. It's kinda a pain. Need to improve UI in such a way that when you create something, it should ask for all parameters needed in tab. It's very un-useful to have different pages to go to.

We are using Mashery as API gateway. We use it company wide. It provides the whole platform for developers and enables them to integrate their apps with our product.

It is well suited for small company with couple of endpoints and small number of users.

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.

Mashery is well suited for any organisation however big or small, wherein there is a need to deploy the APIs to be accessed in secure mechanism.
If APIs needs to be accessed via external or internal world then TIBCO Mashery is an excellent choice of API management solution.

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.

TIBCO Cloud Mashery was very helpful in enabling us to move for on prod solutions similar to our products and then enable us to have a more robust cloud native solution. The transition was seamless and we had no major issues. The tool is perfect for our SaaS solution and they were easy to work with.

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.

Tibco Cloud Mashery is particularly useful for light traffic on the world wide web, that needs securing and/or throttling, with the additional advantage that your company does not need to acquire the necessary competence and resources. Traffic based invoicing makes it less attractive for very intensive communication; other Mashery solutions are better suited in such cases. Also recommended as a stepping stone, if your company needs to enter the API market quickly.

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.

TIBCO Cloud Mashery is well suited for microservice architecture. For us, it plays a significant role in securing the access to our backend services.

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.

Mashery is well suited to onboard and provide a platform for users to use, say, a company's API. It may be less appropriate for companies looking to provide an API platform while also wanting very granular control (down to specific keys or calls).

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.

TIBCO Cloud Mashery is great in a complex environment. It helps you keep doing everything from a firewall interface. It makes it simple for devs to make changes without having to wait on network ops.

It is complex. Smaller companies with less experienced developers will experience a learning curve. That is where it might be less appropriate.

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.

Easy to get started and publish APIs. Documentation and portal content takes some time to set up especially if your customizing signups, etc.

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.

If you are working in an company or environment with a lot of private APIs, or sensitive information then I highly recommend everyone to at least consider TIBCO Cloud Mashery as a solution. Depending on your setup and your need, it might require additional resources, but worth exploring as an option none the less.
