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."
"The initial setup isn't too complex."
"I use it because it's simple, it automatically updates, and It hasn't given me any issues."
"It's good for development, we like that the solution offers easy integration, it has a good UI and is user-friendly, the solution scales well, and it's stable."
"Apigee's best features are flexibility and breadth of capabilities."
"Items around the mobilization of the API interface and the ability to automate validations for our APIs are the most valuable aspects."
"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."
"Apigee is among the leaders in API platforms."
"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."
"Integration is straightforward. There is no issue with it."
"We can develop almost any interface that we need."
"We can create APIs straightforwardly and quickly and build jobs for data migration."
"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."
"Boomi allows for more secure URLs and easy customization of HTTP and HTTPS protocols, which I find very beneficial."
"The product's stability is good."
"Boomi AtomSphere API Management is a good product for integrating with Boomi as a backend service."
 

Cons

"I would like to see better integration and some architectural improvements in future releases of the solution."
"More documentation on the Open Banking Standard will help."
"Apigee has a lot of components, which means that management will be a bit difficult."
"I would like to see the monitoring, dashboards, and reports improve."
"Customer service is a five out of 10."
"We do not have control over the installation."
"The cost of this solution could be improved and it would be better if it were on private cloud."
"When it comes to the rate limit, we don't have a specific category for rate limits for a particular customer."
"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."
"Most of the basic functionality is there in Boomi, but APG is a more feature-rich solution."
"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."
"It's difficult to integrate the on-prem application with the Dell Boomi Cloud. We have to check to ensure the Dell domain engine is running. It just requires some service endpoints from our on-prem application to connect to Dell Boomi Cloud to make it available to integrate. It would be better if AtomSphere API Management were offered as a purely SaaS application, so I wouldn't need an on-prem component to make it available. We could make a test call or provide some connection parameters. That should enable it to pull the data."
"Scalability is an area where Boomi lacks."
"The solution must provide more AI services."
"Boomi AtomSphere API Management can be improved in terms of threshold management and policy management."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost increases as the usage increases."
"It is not suited for small companies. It's expensive."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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 of the licensing is based on the number of API calls that are made."
"Boomi AtomSphere API Management is a cheap product."
"Boomi AtomSphere API Management gives customers a good price. Price-wise, the product is good."
"The price is reasonable."
"The product can get very expensive quickly if you connect to multiple databases."
