We performed a comparison between Apigee and Axway AMPLIFY API Management based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two API Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."This is a front-layer gateway that helps to improve our overall performance."
"Anyone with basic knowledge can build an API."
"Apigee has proven to be one of the best of the breed."
"The features I found most valuable are how the APIs are published, the whole process of finalizing the API, and then controlling it."
"It's stable."
"The central monitoring feature is the most valuable. It also provides security for the APIs and high availability for our use cases. Apigee is the best product in the industry in comparison to other API management solutions. It helps in fast development, which is a top point. It also supports a lot of industry standards and has excellent documentation."
"Its customer service is good."
"I have found the most valuable features to be tracing a proxy, and managing proxy versions and revisions via the Edge UI component."
"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."
"The administration tool for this solution is good."
"We like the portal for documentation a lot."
"This product is a ten when it comes to API management."
"The most valuable features are security enforcement and throttling."
"The API portal capability is a valuable feature."
"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."
"This platform can be highly scalable."
"Maintaining and deploying revisions need to be more defined."
"I would recommend this solution to those who want to start using it, but it depends on the requirements and automation."
"In terms of the functionalities of a typical API gateway, Apigee is actually doing its job, but when it involves integration with backend applications, which some gateways have, I don't believe it has this functionality. You have to do Java or do some other low-level coding before you are able to do the integration. Apigee has a lot of components, which means that management will be a bit difficult. It probably has ten different components, and all of these components leverage open-source utilities, such as NGINX. When those open-source vendors upgrade their utility, Apigee usually lags behind because they need to do a lot of tests and any required development in their own platform. They need to do rigorous testing to make sure that nothing breaks. Because of that, it takes them a while to upgrade whatever components have been upgraded by the open-source vendor that owns the utility. We've been chasing them for a particular upgrade for well over a year and a half, and they have not done that upgrade. It is creating a security risk for us as an enterprise, but that upgrade has not been done, even though the open-source vendor, the owner of the utility, has upgraded it a long time ago."
"Role-based access management needs to be improved. It would also be nice if the solution could be integrated with code versioning systems like Git/Bitbucket."
"As it is now, the rotation of certificates is a manual task and is something that can be improved."
"The cost of the solution is quite high."
"Apigee lacks market presence."
"The integration could be improved within the solution. There is a need to pay more attention to this."
"In terms of customer service, the company needs to be easier to contact, and the support team needs to understand the situation and the product itself better."
"The API Mocking tools need to be improved."
"It would be great if they have an asset report. It's hard to get support for that."
"Areas of improvement include marketing and enhancing the data products area by using ETIs."
"The portal still has room for improvement."
"Sometimes we find bugs where certain calls are not returning all the data we need."
"The installation process is a bit complex and it could be a lot simpler."
"The areas for enhancement should be improving certain filters within the solution. Although they are generally functional, there are occasional problems that could be more precisely adjusted. Additionally, the solution performs well within its workload limitations, but it may not be suitable for scaling up or managing a larger volume of transactions through the gateway. To address this, it may be necessary to adopt a unique architecture rather than relying on traditional pre-packaged options."
