Apigee Reviews

In my previous company, I used Apigee after modernization to manage client APIs.

Apigee is a great product with good feedback and recommendations from clients.

It is best to ask a developer about the areas for improvement in Apigee, as I'm a content writer, though the pricing for the product was a bit higher.

Apigee would also need developers or a dedicated team for deployment. I also found it challenging to manage sometimes.

My last project with Apigee last December.

Apigee is a stable product.

The company only used Apigee. It didn't use any other solutions.

As a writer, I didn't set up Apigee. Another team set it up.

Compared to other products, Apigee had higher pricing.

I used Apigee for my customer, but I no longer work for the company.

I'm a content writer and was involved in researching and creating documentation about Apigee for a client.

The majority of the clients had fifteen to twenty users of Apigee.

My rating for Apigee is seven out of ten.

The company was an Apigee partner.

We use this for intuition with a third party.

It is easy to deploy, configure, and monitor the APA.

The hardware is extremely high compared to other similar products. The entire user across all the layers should be singly authenticated through an external authentication system.

I have been using Apigee for the past four to five years.

It is stable.

It is scalable.

Technical support is available twenty-four hours a day. When it is a critical issue, they come online and support us. They take real-time access to our system and support us in solving the problem. It can take time, but they are able to solve the problem.

Our initial setup and deployment took six months with the help of a partner.

Apigee is easy to deploy, configure and maintain.

I would rate Apigee a nine out of ten.

We are a telecom-based organization, so our use cases are generally based on telecom functionalities like the MF APIs. I'm a technical architect and we partner with Google. 

Apigee is a front-layer gateway and it helps to improve our overall performance.
We can repair requests and respond to vacant needs and that's a big help to us. 

Many of the features available are valuable to us including out-of-the-box policies, the vacant creation, throttling and more. We are using authentication and authorization which are also good features. 

Integration should be improved as we'd be able to use solutions such as NewSoft or Del Boomi. It would be helpful if Apigee would lower their licensing costs. I'd like to see a cloud-based solution and some new features similar to those available with TD cloud or Salesforce.

I've been using this solution for over six years. 

The solution is stable.

To date, our use cases have been limited so we haven't had significant scalability requirements. We have no plans for expanding the use of this product. 

On a number of occasions we've needed some immediate help or a quick turnaround, but the technical support response was quite slow. 

Neutral

Initially, we figured out how to deploy the solution on the job and it required some external assistance, but because we've been working with Apigee for so long, deployment is relatively easy for us these days and is carried out in-house. 

Apigee has so many servers nowadays that are based on requirements. Much of the information is available on Apigee documentation which is good. 

I rate this solution eight out of 10. 

I mainly use Apigee to allow partner applications to consume services outside their organizations, for security, and for creating API proxies.

Apigee's best features are flexibility and breadth of capabilities.

I've been using Apigee for three to four years.

Apigee is stable.

Apigee's scalability is one of its main advantages.

Apigee's technical support is really good, and they have a community forum where we can ask questions and get help.

We previously used WSO2.

The initial setup for the on-prem solution is a little complex, but the hybrid setup is very easy because detailed steps are provided. The hybrid version takes one or two days to install, but the on-prem version takes a minimum of a week.

For on-premises, a consultant is required to install.

Apigee is a good product, and I would recommend it to others. I would rate Apigee eight out of ten.

Our organization currently has twenty Apigee end-users. We use the solution for API management of financial and e-commerce domains.

Apigee is relatively easy to use for developers.

I have been using Apigee for six years.

Apigee is a stable solution.

The SaaS version of Apigee is quite scalable. The hybrid version is also scalable depending on your requirements.

I am satisfied with the support offered by Apigee.

The initial setup is not straightforward, particularly for hybrid solutions. It is easier to manage the managed services or SaaS-based versions.

The implementation takes time. The production setup includes TLS among other things, and the management and operationalizing take time as well.

We implemented the solution in-house.

Apigee's licensing costs more than other solutions. Some add-on packages are sold separately. For example, monitoring is not included in the standard package of Apigee Edge.

Anyone considering Apigee as a solution should start small and increase usage with experience. Start with a centralized small team and expand based upon the maturity model that Apigee has and recommends. I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

An area for improvement would be to provide more information while troubleshooting. In the next release, Apigee should allow product owners to use its tools instead of just platform engineers.

I've been using Apigee for a year.

Apigee is stable.

Apigee is scalable.

The initial setup was easy - there was an onboarding document with steps that we followed.

I would rate Apigee eight out of ten.

We use the Apigee platform for analytics, specifically for retail customers. We have used this solution to enhance the capability of some of our legacy systems. We have 300 users on this platform. 

One of the best parts of this solution is the implementation as we did not need to use code or out-of-box policies. When it comes to the cloud-based architecture, there is a high level of reliability.

When it comes to the rate limit, we don't have a specific category for rate limits for a particular customer.

I have been using Apigee for more than seven years.

This is a stable solution. 

This is a scalable solution. 

The customer support for this solution is very good. We have received immediate responses from the technical team.

Neutral

The initial setup is not that straightforward. 

This solution offers annual licensing.

I would recommend this solution for API management and is one of the best on the market.

I would rate it an eight out of ten.

It is easy to use from a developer perspective and a customer perspective. 

It is easy to set up. It is on Google Platform, and there are multiple deployment models they support, which is great.

There should be an integrated continuous integration and continuous deployment approach with Apigee. Currently, for development at a more integrated level, you have set it up yourself.

It lacks the connectors and connectivity. That's something that would be good to have. 

I have been using this solution for 10 years.

I have not faced any stability issues.

Their support is good.

For on-premise, there is complexity, but the cloud version is easy to set up.

Its price is reasonable for the features they provide and the maturity of the platform.

I would rate it a nine out of ten.

One feature I found most valuable in Apigee is its simplicity. All features remain the same in all of the API tools, and I have experience with IBM API Connect and Apigee, but Apigee is easier to work with, plus the learning curve is not that steep.

Another thing I like about this solution is that the support is really good, and this gives Apigee advantage over other providers.

I like the development feature of Apigee. You will find it easier to work with Apigee than IBM API Connect.

We found a glitch in Apigee, and we raised it with them: It's the response overlapping from the API with high traffic.

They have been working on that, and they have shared a patch with us, but I'm not sure if that is publicly available for all users. It was made available to our organization: one single patch of Apigee.

I've been using Apigee for over two years, and I've used it in the last 12 months.

This product is is stable.

Apigee is a scalable product.

Technical support for Apigee is very good.

I used IBM API Connect, but found it easier to work with Apigee.

I evaluated IBM API Connect.

I'm both a user and an integrator of Apigee.

We have deployments both on-premises and via cloud. We use both, like Google SaaS and the on-premises solution.

We are a consultant for different organizations. Some organizations prefer on-premises deployment, with everything on their private cloud, and this means they use the older version of Apigee. Some organizations use the latest version because they're using Google SaaS directly.

My advice to people who are looking into implementing Apigee in their organization: If it fits your budget, then it is a good product. If it fits into your ecosystem, e.g. you are in that ecosystem, not in IBM or other CA-based ones, Apigee is something you can go for. It is a good platform.

I haven't worked with CA, and there are others, e.g. MuleSoft, so I can't comment on how Apigee compares with those competitors, but compared to IBM API Connect, Apigee is a good one.

I'm rating Apigee eight over ten. There's still room for improvement, so it's an eight for me.

Apigee is a platform for API management.

Apigee is a pioneer in the industry and has good features and functionalities. It is a good tool for API management and it has more advancements than all other tools in the market in certain areas.

It has many features, such as flexibility, coding writing, and JavaScripting.

I have been using Apigee for approximately four years.

Apigee is stable. In the entire API management world, I feel this is one of the best tools for pure API management. If there are any orchestrations or business processes to be involved, then Mulesoft or Boomi can be used, but comparatively, all the security and governance policies that are available on the dashboards and the reports make Apigee the best tool for pure API management.

The installation is good. I won't say it is complex, but it has many configurations and types of policies that are available. However, it can be easily done.

Apigee is slightly expensive, but again, it can depend on the type of usage. All things considered, it is slightly expensive. 

AWS is winning in the cost category, they have many packages and services but when using all these services together I am not sure what the cost would be.

I have evaluated Mulesoft and Boomi. I have found these two solutions are being used secondarily to Apigee. Additionally, AWS and Azure's Gateways are becoming popular in the market. From the cost perspective, in the two years, AWS gateway is widely being used. These four solutions are widely being used in the market but Apigee is much far ahead than all other tools.

AWS and Apigee have similar features. I don't see any significant change in the difference at the moment. The choice is more about convenience and cost.

I rate Apigee an eight out of ten.
