Who is this best for?
This is the fastest way to decide whether Azure API Management is in the right neighborhood.
Best for
- Azure-first enterprises with governance and compliance needs
- API programs with external consumers where portals, keys, and quotas matter
- Platform teams standardizing API policy across multiple producer teams
- Organizations using Microsoft identity and ops patterns as a baseline
Who should avoid
- You need a neutral gateway across multi-cloud/hybrid deployments
- You want a lightweight, developer-first gateway without enterprise rollout overhead
- Your API program is small and internal-only
