Since that survey is about Azure APIs, I'll add a few other industry products that many of us use which also contain APIs.
Infor Cloverleaf Integration Suite API - monitor status of integrations, start/stop/restart, send alerts
Infoblox API - well....IPAM
Netscaler Nitro API - monitor status of appliances, VPX/ADCs, alert on down, alert on failover, etc
VxRail Manager API - monitor status of nodes, HCI cluster health, available updates, etc (VxRail Manager is moving more towards a tightly integrated vCenter plugin, so the vCenter API may be a better target going forward)
Ansible, Ansible Tower API - monitor jobs and workflows, trigger tasks, alert on status of actions
Ivanti APIs:
Endpoint Management Suite - monitor status and health, mute servers that are being patched, shared asset info
Service Management - monitor status and health, create and tickets, CMDB tie-in
Patch for Windows (aka Shavlik) - monitor status and health, mute servers that are being patched, shared asset info
Microsoft System Center APIs
SCOM - monitor status and health, create and tickets, assets/CI and CMDB tie-in
SCCM - monitor status and health, assets/CI and CMDB tie-in, SCM configuration validation?
etc
Github, Gitlab - hmmm, thinking about potential value beyond monitoring service availability for on-prem instances
UltraDNS - API-based DNS zone transfers into Orion IPAM, monitor status and health, probably more
Cloudflare - API-based DNS zone transfers into Orion IPAM, monitor status and health, and more
Many of these do compete with parts of the Solarwinds family, but it's rare for any company to be invested exclusively in one brand's management suite of products and nothing else. (Especially with the amount of M&A that seems to happen in this area.)
Another interesting thought: while I could see my organization utilizing a number of these from within the SAM and NPM modules, tooling could also be added to Pingdom for monitoring 3rd party APIs or 1st party APIs that must be available publicly.
