SAP API Management | Apigee

[Former Member]

Is there any version for Windows available for SAP API Management - On Premise ?

I've downloaded the OP version available on SAP Marketplace but the installation is shell script based (for LinuxOS).

Or any other alternate way to install SAP API Mgt / Apigee on Windows server.. Thanks in advance.

Hi Hardeep,

As per official guide you can install on premise version of SAP API management only on below operating systems but no window server.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 64 bit (6.3,6.4 and 6.5 are officially supported)
CentOS (64-bit version) (6.3 and 6.4 are officially supported)

Where do you download API Mgmt On premise?

[Former Member]

For the on-prem version you need a valid license. Then you can download it from https://support.sap.com/swdc -> A-Z -> A -> SAP API Management OP

If you want to give the cloud version a try, you can follow the steps outlined here:

There is no trial for on-premise? I am currently testing several tools for this purpose- Kong, Tyk, WSO2 etc

If there is no trial avaialble- can you tell me some major selling points of On-Prem over free tools like Kong, Tyk, WSO2?

Hi Harry,

One can trial SAP API Managment by Apigee (the OnPremises release) but it requires a request through SAP rep, and signing of a TEA agreement. This is the case as it is the Enterprise edition, and would be more comparable to similar enterprise releases; such as the Tyk Enterprise API Manager, Kong Enterprise Services, etc. which are not free, and offer much richer sets of services.

The difference between Free editions and Enterprise editions depend on the product, but some obvious ones are:

* Support - Free editions typically only offer support via crowd-sourcing, and are not monitored as directly by development. Enterprise editions offer direct company support and insight into the product.

* Related to support, but different - Active fixes for customer issues, to be rolled out if needed, when bugs, vulnerabilities, etc. are discovered.

* High Availability - As an enterprise ready product, the deployment options boast varied levels of High Availability architecture to ensure business critical needs are not disrupted, even scaling into billions of API calls.

* SAP specific support - As a company which is tightly integrated into many businesses ecosystems, SAP knows SAP, and working with SAP systems, or mashing up SAP and non-SAP services is more streamlined, rather than with the more generic API Managers.

& More on a case by case basis (Monetization, SLAs, Security features, Analytics, Content Management System, etc.)

I hope this helps answer your questions.

Regards,

Elijah
