A complete API management solution that is backed by Google
GCP is improving the regular version control. There have been some challenges when we talk about the hybrid deployment model. For example, some runtime services' data was available only on the cloud, but financial institutions and other customers have requested more on-site data storage. This is especially important in regions where Google data centers are unavailable, such as certain areas in Africa, Asia, and the Middle East. Google is working proactively to move more runtime services on-premise while keeping only the management services in the cloud. It is replacing competitors like IBM and MuleSoft in many organizations. Google's documentation side could be better, providing clearer and more comprehensive information for users. Improvements in supporting languages are also needed, such as better support for Java SDKs, which are not pre-built. Additionally, more pre-built policies need to be available. While these features may not be available on other platforms either, Apigee, being ranked number one, can potentially exceed customer expectations. More customer-friendly deployment strategies for hybrid models, especially securing data and minimizing management plane interaction, could also be beneficial. Apigee already meets many of the finest requirements in the market for cloud-based solutions.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It is scalable."
"The opportunity for customization is really vast and it is a really good feature built into the product."
"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."
"Items around the mobilization of the API interface and the ability to automate validations for our APIs are the most valuable aspects."
"Apigee is relatively easy to use for developers."
"Anyone with basic knowledge can build an API."
"Apigee makes proxy management very simple."
"Apigee's best features are flexibility and breadth of capabilities."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is security."
"The administration tool for this solution is good."
"In general, API governance provides a better experience for providers."
"We like the portal for documentation a lot."
"There's drag and drop functionality so that you do not need to have a senior expert developer to make use of the tool. You can get more of your staff trained up to be able to use it as it's not overly technical."
"This product is a ten when it comes to API management."
"The best feature of Axway Amplify API Management is its exceptional level of security, which is highly reassuring, coupled with its remarkable capacity to handle substantial volumes of data in impressively efficient turnaround times."
"I don't believe the Salesforce has been fully utilized yet. It gives us quick engagement."
 

Cons

"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."
"We are experiencing issues with automation; the production in Apigee is quite time-consuming."
"They have an external developer platform that was a little bit painful."
"Apigee could improve by integrating with more identity providers and offering a default authentication module."
"The ability to work across different management solutions in a plug and play fashion would make it easier for faster uptake."
"The integration could be improved within the solution. There is a need to pay more attention to this."
"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."
"It is an expensive solution."
"The installation process is a bit complex and it could be a lot simpler."
"The portal still has room for improvement."
"Team management capabilities could be improved."
"Sometimes we find bugs where certain calls are not returning all the data we need."
"The API Mocking tools need to be improved."
"Areas of improvement include marketing and enhancing the data products area by using ETIs."
"This solution does have some limitations regarding the deployment model."
"The product shows a lack of maturity. The setup is difficult, the tech support and community are lacking, and it is not very stable."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have a contract for three years. I don't know the cost."
"It is a bit on the expensive side. Its licensing cost is a bit high, and that's where we've seen people going back on their decisions."
"They need to work on the cost of the solution."
"Its price is reasonable for the features they provide and the maturity of the platform."
"Since it was acquired by Google, we can get a license based on our requirements and the cost level will depend on cloud access and support."
"Apigee is slightly expensive, but again, it can depend on the type of usage. All things considered, it is slightly expensive."
"Based on your usage of the APIs you can take a decision to go with either an on-cloud or OPDK version. Get in touch with the sales representatives of Apigee."
"The product's pricing is fair. You need to pay additional costs for the support."
"The solution is expensive. When you acquire a license you have full access to the solution, unlike other competitors such as Apigee X, where there are fragmented licenses. Some licenses only allow access to certain features while others allow access to more features. Upon procuring this solution's license, you will have full access to the solution, allowing you to experiment with all of its features."
