Apigee empowers effective API management while needing improvements in technical support
There is room for improvement with Apigee as OPDK private cloud enhancements have stopped, focusing only on Apigee hybrid and Apigee X, with Google no longer adding new features to OPDK private cloud. I am not currently utilizing AI in the private cloud with Apigee, but I'm unsure about hybrid and Apigee X.

Has required significant improvements due to limited features but offers simple implementation and good support
Boomi AtomSphere API Management has very few features. If you ask me to name the top two, I would say MuleSoft and Apigee, as it depends on the customer-to-customer use cases. After those, WSO2, Kong, and whether you say Informatica API Manager or Boomi AtomSphere API Management, they stand with only three out of ten features which are essential for API management. All the features that Apigee has, they need to add. All the features that MuleSoft has, they need to add. It is not a simple task. The problem is that they lack features. It is not their performance. There are many features to mention. When you take and compare all the features that Apigee has and all the features that MuleSoft has, they need to implement those features.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Technical support is available twenty-four hours a day, and when it is a critical issue, they come online, take real-time access to our system, and support us in solving the problem."
"Apigee is the heart of the architectural design for building an integration layer in our digital transformation projects. Organizations need an integration layer to connect their legacy backend services with the external world, such as Fintechs. This layer must be secure, not just a simple pass-through or gateway."
"Apigee provides out-of-the-box policies, so it is ready to use with minimal configuration to those policies, and you can govern your API and manage the life cycle of the API completely with the Apigee tool."
"Apigee is relatively easy to use for developers."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"The stability of the product is not an issue."
"The initial setup was easy - there was an onboarding document with steps that we followed."
"The stability of the solution is good, there aren't issues surrounding bugs or glitches, we don't find that it crashes or freezes, and it's pretty reliable."
"The product's stability is good."
"AtomSphere is tightly integrated into the Boomi iPaaS platform, and Boomi has been augmenting AtomSphere API Management for the past couple of years so version 2.0 is better than 1.0."
"The user interface, which we use to create the integration, basically has the data structures collected, is pretty easy to navigate, is a drag and drop style of working, and there is very little code required so the creation of the endpoints is very simple."
"AtomSphere is tightly integrated into the Boomi iPaaS platform. And Boomi has been augmenting AtomSphere API Management for the past couple of years so version 2.0 is better than 1.0."
"Boomi AtomSphere API Management is a good product for integrating with Boomi as a backend service."
"Integrations take less time."
"Boomi allows for more secure URLs and easy customization of HTTP and HTTPS protocols, which I find very beneficial."
"We can create APIs straightforwardly and quickly and build jobs for data migration."
 

Cons

"Apigee is demanding on the infrastructure so the setup cost is very high for an on-premises deployment."
"The pricing of the solution could be improved upon. We'd like it if it was less costly."
"Maintaining and deploying revisions need to be more defined."
"The account simplification process can be improved."
"The caching capabilities are somewhat limited. This is more on the developer-oriented capabilities."
"More documentation on the Open Banking Standard will help."
"Proxy versioning seems a bit confusing/buried in the publishing experience, especially for the URI-based versioning approach."
"I think the portal could offer a better user experience. It's functional and does what it's supposed to but it's not user friendly."
"The API management has room for improvement."
"Boomi AtomSphere API Management has very few features. If you ask me to name the top two, I would say MuleSoft and Apigee, as it depends on the customer-to-customer use cases."
"The product is really complex to manage."
"To some degree, you need to know what type or amount of API you are creating - whether it's a rest API or web service API. You need to know ETL in order to really get the most out of Boomi."
"The solution must provide more AI services."
"Scalability is an area where Boomi lacks."
"To some degree, you need to know what type or amount of API you are creating - whether it's a rest API or web service API. You need to know ETL in order to really get the most out of Boomi."
"From an improvement perspective, the price could be cheaper."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"You do not necessarily pay for the license. The cloud solution is based more on transactions. So, you pay for it either way."
"Apigee is expensive and not cost-effective. On a scale of one to ten, I would rate it an eight for the high cost. The changes individuals need to make on their side are costly."
"If the budget is not a concern then I will choose to go with Apigee over WSA-2, but if it is then I would prefer the latter solution."
"The prices are comparable."
"It is not suited for small companies. It's expensive."
"The solution’s pricing could be more competitive."
"It was fairly expensive. I don't know what the standard pricing is. I want to say that it's something like $80,000 for 800 million requests (approximately) a year."
"Pricing options need to be chosen on a case-by-case basis."
"The product can get very expensive quickly if you connect to multiple databases."
"Boomi AtomSphere API Management gives customers a good price. Price-wise, the product is good."
"The price is reasonable."
"Boomi AtomSphere API Management is a cheap product."
