Apigee Reviews

I use Apigee for healthcare management. 

I simply like how you can personalize your products and put them into product categories. That's what I like the most.

The analytical aspect of it could be better. I think it is fair if Apigee lets you configure some of the metrics of the key details you want to monitor in terms of analytics.

I have been using Apigee for about two years.

Apigee is a stable solution.

Apigee is a cloud solution, and it's scalable. I have about two departments using it predominantly to share staff. Because of how the company was structured, we had one for original regulations and one for Africa. The regulations in some of the African countries are not the same.

I'm satisfied with customer service. On a scale of one to five, I'll give them a five.

Before Apigee, I used G Data Software, IBM, and more.

Apigee is in the cloud, so it's more like software-as-a-service.

You do not necessarily pay for the license. The cloud solution is based more on transactions. So, you pay for it either way.

I would recommend this solution to potential users.

On a scale from one to ten, I would give Apigee a nine.

We have hundreds of backend services, APIs, that are running. We want to protect and do analysis with calling externally, internally, and all the statistics we want to track using Apigee. That is the reason we're using the API gateway.

We have seen product improvement. Initially, we didn't use much of the analytics part. Later on, we saw that as an improvement. The rate-limiting quotas are improved as well.

The analytics feature is quite good. We can look at all the statistics, how many requests coming in, how many requests going out, what type of failures are happening, what is the performance of the APIs on those features. The solution helps us to track whenever there is an issue that comes in.

The only concern overall, with the organization, is cost-wise. I believe there is already a plan, within our organization, for moving to Azure API Management. The main reason is one of the features is a cloud-based, pay-per-use. And then, because a lot of our services are moving towards Azure, why have another network of API gateway.

The testing feature is one additional feature that I see is in APIM and it is not here. We can build our own demo web service and test your proxy. That feature has been provided in APIM, not in Apigee.

I've been using the solution almost three years now.

Overall, the solution is good.

The scalability is good. Our load has improved drastically in the last three years. The traffic has been increased, and we still see a good performance overall.

Mostly developers from different teams use it. And there are administrative teams maintaining the overall solution within the organization.

The technical support is good. As a user, we report to the admin team and they work with the consultants if they are not able to resolve the issue.

I was not involved in the initial setup, but I've been told that the onsite setup was a little complex and there were a few restrictions as well.

We see a return on investment. As of now, it's good. But overall, cost wise, it is a little higher, comparative. 

For Apigee, I think licensing is on a monthly basis. The cost increases as the usage increases. It's higher than many competitors.

Azure APIM is the one option we evaluated.

From two or three years back using it to now, it's quite fast. The performance side is good.

It's a user-friendly product, it is. You can customize all you want, and the policies and the features they have are quite easy to use. Anyone can use it, drag and drop, and it supports a lot of other languages like JavaScript, non-JS, and all. 

I would rate the solution an eight out of ten.

We use Apigee in health care, where multiple databases and applications need API. So far, there has been no standardization, but in the near future, there will be standardization towards the FHIR, which will drive interoperability and integration.

Apigee is an easy-to-use solution.

The solution’s scalability could be improved.

Apigee is a stable solution.

The solution’s technical support is good.

It is easy to deploy Apigee from one vendor, but if you are talking about multiple APIs, then it becomes complex. Then, you have to wait for the standardization efforts.

The solution’s pricing could be more competitive.

Apigee is used by one of the largest healthcare groups, which has over 50 hospitals, and each hospital has 50 to 60 applications.

I would recommend Apigee to other users.

Overall, I rate Apigee a nine out of ten.

We use the solution as a platform to integrate different APIs and provide authentication, authorization, and performance security services.

The solution's most valuable feature is its ability to integrate APIs for various industrial sectors, including telecom, banks, and multinational companies.

They should improve the solution's monitoring tools for on-premises environments. Also, they should make all the essential features available for the private cloud.

I have been using the solution for more than five years.

The solution is highly scalable. I rate its scalability as a ten.

I rate the solution's initial setup process as a seven.

The solution is advanced. It works efficiently compared to other solutions, such as MuleSoft. I highly recommend it out of all the integration platforms. I rate it as an eight.

My company works mainly in the BFSI domain. The tool helps us to build, manage, and run the APIs. 

The tool is one of the earliest API management products and is good. It reduces the Time To Market aspects of products. 

I would like to see better integration and some architectural improvements in future releases of the solution. 

I have been working with the solution for more than six years. 

The product is stable and I would rate its stability a nine of ten. 

I would rate the product's scalability an eight out of ten. 

Google's tech support team is helpful in terms of knowledge transfer. 

Positive

The tool's setup is very simple. You would need around 50 people to maintain the solution. 

The tool offers good returns on investment. 

The product's pricing is fair. You need to pay additional costs for the support. 

I would rate the product an eight out of ten. 

This is our major service when we have services and need an API gateway. They allow us to expose these services to clients.

The solution offers good customization. It's very easy to customize in general. 

You can integrate with things very well. 

The caching is good.

You can add basic flows with ease. 

The Google CMS is a great tool. 

The solution is stable. 

Technical support has been decent. 

We are considering scalability regarding using a centralized environment, and the documentation seems to indicate it's not easy to integrate with Kubernetes or deploy into a cluster. 

It's not using SPA, single page applications, like Angular. 

There isn't very good monitoring right now. We need better performance monitoring.

We need it to offer better debugging, so if there is slowness in the flow, it's not easy to fix. You have to use other tools to debug.

I've used the solution for four years. 

The stability is good. I'd rate it nine out of ten. It is very reliable. There are no bugs or glitches and it doesn't crash or freeze. We've had no issues on this front. 

We have around eight people that directly work with the solution. They are four developers, two engineers, and two support staff. 

The scalability is good. I'd rate it five out of ten. It's deployed on the VM. You cannot scale up in some areas as you might hit a limit. Then, there are peak hours, and that might be different as well. You might hit a wall. 

We've dealt with technical support in the past. They've handled a few tickets. However, I have never directly dealt with them. I have not seen any complaints in regard to the service they provide. 

Positive

We did not use a different product previously. 

I didn't handle the deployment. I don't handle that aspect of the solution. 

We do have a team that manages and administers the solution. 

There might have been some assistance from the Apigee support team during implementation. 

The pricing isn't something that I deal with. I don't know the exact cost. 

We are currently looking into other solutions. We want to see how others stack up in terms of pricing, stability, scalability, et cetera. 

I am using the latest version of the solution. 

I'm not sure if I would recommend the solution to others. I still need to make comparisons between this and other options. I'm trying to decide if I should stick with Apigee or move to something else.  

So far, I'd rate the solution eight out of ten. It has a high rating on Gartner. 

We are resellers of Apigee and also use it internally. The most common use case is monetization for the APIs. I'm the sales manager and we are resellers of Apigee.

The ability to convert from language to language using the same tool without needing different developer teams to deploy is a valuable feature. It doesn't require a lot of skill to run Apigee and the security features are good. This is a powerful tool for API management. 

The only disadvantage with Apigee is that they lack market presence. I think they may have limited resources. IBM's strategy is stronger on the marketing level. 

I believe they're working on adding some integration features that are currently lacking. 

I've been using this solution for three years. 

The solution is very stable even in very complicated environments. 

The solution is scalable and it's great for enterprise companies.

Technical support is good. Google team has many teams can support it. And there is a lot of partners ecosystem who understand and implement and support strategy as well.

I previously worked with IBM Connect but I prefer Apigee. It provides all the features and requirements for AI management.

The initial setup is very straightforward and can be done by anyone. 

The licensing cost is very reasonable and it gives you unlimited transactions.

I would recommend testing this solution for a month or so. It's easy to implement and easy to use. I rate the solution nine out of 10 - the one point reduction is because of the marketing strategy. 

Our primary use case is for security but also the mediation that goes with it.

The most valuable feature is monetization.

I would like to see SOAP services and socket-based connectivity developed. Apigee is known for exposing the REST API but not the SOAP API. Our clients are requesting these two features and we do have a workaround we use, but an upgrade in these two areas would be great. I would like to see more integration for example Enterprise Service Bus and this will help Apigee gain more popularity.

I have been working with Apigee for the past six years.

Apigee is a stable product. We have had existing customers for the past four or five years now.  

Technical support is alright but I have mixed criticism. Sometimes you get answers very quickly and on time, but in some scenarios when there is a product issue it takes time. If there is anything that is not implemented and they need some time to implement it, then it takes them months. If the error is something that is a known issue they reply back quickly.

Apigee is more straightforward and flexible, with implementation and designing. Other products currently on the market are more complex overall to sustain. The time it took us to set up was around two to three months.

There is one main reason we went with Apigee and that is the importance of the Gartner and Forester ratings. Apigee is on top of all the Gartner and Forrester ratings. The other reason is because of the smooth operational perspective.

If customers are trying to do long-term planning, and want to apply monetization on their APIs, then Apigee will be the best in this situation. I would rate Apigee a nine out of ten.
