API Management
Here at SOA Software we take a somewhat more comprehensive view of API Management than most vendors do.
We believe that API Management includes:
- Developer Community Management
- API Security
- Traffic Monitoring
- QoS Management
- App Management & Provisioning
- API Lifecycle Management
- On-premise or as-a-Service
Of course, if you want to compare us on an even playing field with lesser vendors then you can just look at the operational pieces including:
- API Security
- Traffic Monitoring
- QoS Management
- App Management & Provisioning
And of course, we also support all of our API Management solutions rely on strong underlying Policy Management capabilities to provide centralized, efficient control over your API endpoints and supporting technologies.
