Apigee Reviews

We want to sell API products and if you want to market the API product that you are building, then definitely you can go for the Apigee or any API product, but if you are in Google Cloud, definitely you can go for Apigee because only Apigee offers current cloud.

The most valuable feature is the API gateway.

I have heard there maybe be some security issues that need to be addressed. If this is the situation I would encourage taking a look at the security matters.

I have been using Apigee for the past two years.

There is good stability with Apigee

Apigee is scalable and we have around one thousand customers currently.

Technical support is good with everything.

Positive

The initial setup is extremely straightforward and not complex at all.

You can do the deployment usually in one month with the documentation provided and it can be done in-house.

Apigee has several different licenses you can obtain depending on your needs.

Previously, I had used IBM Data Power.

I would rate Apigee an eight 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.

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.

API/proxy lifecycle workflow for API providers is quite good and one of Apigee's strongest features. Also, like the completeness of the CLI and admin REST services, the Edge engine provides powerful, integrated analytics, which are noteworthy.  

Initial setup was not trivial for customer-managed topology.  Proxy versioning seems a bit confusing/buried in the publishing experience, especially for the URI-based versioning approach.

Not in production, we are still evaluating.

Nothing serious; just a bit complex.

We currently use WSO2 API Manager version 1.9x in production, but the solution is no longer meeting our needs.

If you deploy a 6-node+ topology, there are many steps required for initial setup. I feel most of this setup complexity is limited to the initial install, and the future auto-scaling of the gateway workload will be an easier/smoother experience

Setup was done by an internal team with some coaching by the vendor.

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.

We use Apigee to share open data for the government. It was a pilot project for one of the  government teams who wanted to start the journey of open data.

The capabilities are very powerful.

Support of integration is what is most challenging in Apigee, as well as the complexity of the components. When setting up an environment, you have many components with open-source content.

When there is an update on a new version or an automatic update, you have to be present and double-check that the update is reflected in the environment with no issues.

The implementation should be easier.

We implemented Apigee six months ago.

Apigee is stable. We have approximately 1,000 users.

This is a scalable solution.

Technical support is very good.

To construct the environment, can take two to three weeks.

The presentation is based on the business and can be done in three to four months.

The iicense is subscription-based.

I would recommend this solution to others who are interested in using it.

It's a very good product. I would rate Apigee a ten out of ten.

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.

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.
