Gravitee.io Overview

What is Gravitee.io?

Gravitee is a comprehensive API management platform designed to unify and streamline the management, security, and governance of all your APIs—across any API style, gateway, or event broker. Whether you're handling REST, GraphQL, or event-driven APIs, Gravitee provides the flexibility and control to manage every API in your organization, ensuring seamless integration and robust security across all your services and systems. While the world isn’t fully “moving past” REST, SOAP, synchronous, request/response style communication, there is a growing need for many organizations to begin introducing asynchronous forms of communication and APIs. This need is driven by many factors, chief among them the expectation of real-time customer experiences, the need to make microservices more reliable and scalable, and the explosion of new market opportunities around IoT, 5G, AI/ML, and monetizable real-time data. However, legacy API Management solutions either don’t support these new communication styles or they offer support that leaves a lot to be desired–which leaves organizations in a modernization bottleneck. Gravitee has introduced a new kind of API Management: event-native API Management. Going to production with Gravitee as your APIM platform means you get all of the traditional benefits of API Gateways and Security solutions (rate limiting, policy application and enforcement, API governance, etc.) with native, single-gateway support for: Modern protocols and API styles (i.e. Websocket, Webhook, MQTT, SSE, etc.) in addition to traditional protocols and API styles (HTTP, REST, SOAP, etc.) Native integration to event brokers (e.g. Kafka, Kinesis, Solace, RabbitMQ, HiveMQ, etc.) Mediation between different protocols and API styles (i.e. REST over Kafka or Websocket over MQTT) The AsyncAPI specification across the entire lifecycle of the API Policy application at both the API call and message levels Monetization of real-time data streams And more... In a nutshell, Gravitee enables technical teams to govern, secure, and expose APIs as products that drive positive customer experience, brand reputation, compliance, and revenue for the business–no matter where you are on your API or modernization journey.

Compared to other API management solutions that I have used, it was easier to get started. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Gravitee.io?

So far I couldn't find any issue while I was using the application. There are some complex specific features that are not yet implemented, but they are actually already on the product roadmap, so it's not a big deal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Gravitee.io solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have multiple APIs located on different servers. With Gravitee we can easily manage all our APIs at the same place.

The many policies that can be easily plugged into any API help us improve the security of our APIs.

The API Designer functionality in Cockpit is really useful so we can design our APIs with a focus on our business logic Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about Gravitee.io?

The Gravitee team is tops on support. What other options in the marketplace have additional fees, Gravitee includes. From sales (yes, even the sales process was a good experience), to onboarding, to early development, answers come quickly, and continual reinforcement that the Gravitee team will accommodate changes to our cloud-hosted version.

As we get our heads wrapped around the tool's flexibility, the depth of functionality becomes more apparent.

We looked at every option we could find, Tyk, Okta/Auth0, Kong, OSS, and found Gravitee to be the best value for our fintech startup.

Gravitee is a must-consider for an APIM. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Gravitee.io?

I wished the FAPI tools and functionality was more mature when we signed up for Gravitee. Nothing on the Gravitee side, but we signed up with another Auth service for user credentials before finding Gravitee. Not a problem on the Gravitee side. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Gravitee.io solving and how is that benefiting you?

Protecting our backend and allowing us to change our workflow as we quickly bring new services online. It's so easy to manage change, endpoints, and segregate workflows. For an APIM solution, you should consider Gravitee. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Gravitee.io?

The team at Gravitee have a great product but really did all they could to make our project a success. Their product and consulting saved us a lot of time and money. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Gravitee.io?

The product was tricky to implement / manage via APIs initially, and that inhibited adoption in the early days. This has been massively improved with later releases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Gravitee.io solving and how is that benefiting you?

We needed and API gateway for a new platform. We later adopted the SSO capability and saved a fortune in a one stop shop. Rather than using Auth0 . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Gravitee.io?

Open source is a gigantic advantage as we're able (as a customer) to troubleshoot some issues by ourselves and we also have some kind of guarantees on the code quality because everything is public.

The product itself is also great with a lot of features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Gravitee.io?

We're not a paying customer so this is quite fair but I should mention that support is a bit frustrating as we open issues in GitHub but rarely get feedbacks on it.

More important is that version upgrades are (for now) always painful and some data gets corrupted in the process, we have to re populate all our APIs & Plans every time. Sometimes these are breaking changes in patch versions, not documented. Sometimes its related to the actual upgrade process. Overall feeling is we're really not confident at each upgrade. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Gravitee.io solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use Gravitee to expose our APIs both publicly to external partners and internally between teams. Gravitee is responsible of the routing, security and rate-limiting matters around our APIs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Gravitee.io?

It is very well designed from the beginning, and the API-first approach is what they do live. Intuitive UIs make orientation at the starting point easier. Having API and Events in the same place to work with is impressive and unique. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Gravitee.io?

At begin the documentation was not that great, but they are working on a new one and in the meanwhile, the team was very supportive of getting what was needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Gravitee.io solving and how is that benefiting you?

Very well-included security flow with the Access Manager on the one side and on the other having APIs and Events in the same place to manage is incredible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Gravitee.io?

The intuitive interface allowed me to manage access easily, permissions and security policies for my APIs, which greatly simplified organizing my APIs.

The log system is resilient and gives me better visibility of my APIs despite many calls (3 million per month). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Gravitee.io?

The ergonomics of the gateway administration interface could be optimized, especially when publishing an API that requires many clicks. The gravitee.io tool is relatively easy to learn with some practice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Gravitee.io solving and how is that benefiting you?

Gravitee.io allowed us to set up call quotas to protect our APIs and to have better visibility on our customers' API calls in error to correct them.

We monetized our API by implementing associated offers based on the maximum number of calls over a period. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Gravitee.io?

The logging part of gravitee is the most helpfull part. Most of the time we made machine to machine communication, so therefore the logging is extremly good to know what is happening! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Gravitee.io?

The amount of updates is kindly too high. Therefore there are in every version some small but obvious issues. I would suggest to make less releases but then more "stable" versions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Gravitee.io solving and how is that benefiting you?

Gravitee is helping us to protect the company. Because while using gravitee we have a centralized etnrypoint into the company network. So we dont need to open several points of the company network. And as said before the logging is extremly helpfull. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
