Latest observation
For multiple business units, the best API management tool is usually one that supports:
- Strong tenant / org / team isolation
- Central governance with decentralized ownership
- Role-based access control (RBAC)
- API catalog / portal per business unit
- Analytics and policy enforcement across all units
- Flexible deployment if units have different compliance or cloud needs
Good options

Apigee (Google Cloud)

Azure API Management

If you want, I can also give you a side-by-side comparison for multiple business units based on things like cost, governance, self-service, and scalability.
