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

"The initial setup was easy - there was an onboarding document with steps that we followed."
"One feature I found most valuable in Apigee is its simplicity."
"It nice and easy for the clients and those using the product to access the product's help resources."
"A special feature is configuring target servers, proxy config, and Cert related security, which regularizes incoming traffic from cloud users or external applications to internal applications in a secured manner."
"The initial setup was easy - there was an onboarding document with steps that we followed."
"The tool is one of the earliest API management products and is good. It reduces the Time To Market aspects of products."
"API/proxy lifecycle workflow for API providers is quite good and one of Apigee's strongest features."
"This tool is extremely helpful for discovery and self-service of API solutions."
"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."
"The stability of the solution is good."
"We can create APIs straightforwardly and quickly and build jobs for data migration."
"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 allows for more secure URLs and easy customization of HTTP and HTTPS protocols, which I find very beneficial."
"Integrations take less time."
"The product's stability is good."
 

Cons

"Pricing is an area that can be improved, as it is a little on the higher side."
"Apigee could do more to make users aware of what is available in the add-ons."
"Proxy versioning seems a bit confusing and buried in the publishing experience, especially for the URI-based versioning approach."
"Apigee is more of an entry level solution that does basic things pretty well, but if you want to go more customizable, you want to really look for another solution."
"The Apigee cloud admin UI could be more user-friendly by adding a few more features."
"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."
"Apigee lacks market presence."
"Could be more user friendly."
"Most of the basic functionality is there in Boomi, but APG is a more feature-rich solution."
"The product is really complex to manage."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Overall, I would rate AtomSphere lower than solutions like APG or API Connect."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is not suited for small companies. It's expensive."
"The iicense is subscription-based."
"The product's pricing is fair. You need to pay additional costs for the support."
"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."
"It is an expensive solution."
"I would like to see the implementation of further options for billing because as it is now, the opportunities you have in terms of a package are limited."
"The cost increases as the usage increases."

"Boomi AtomSphere API Management is a cheap product."
"The product can get very expensive quickly if you connect to multiple databases."
"The price is reasonable."
"Boomi AtomSphere API Management gives customers a good price. Price-wise, the product is good."
