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

"It is scalable."
"Apigee is very easy to use, and you can code in any language."
"Apigee has proven to be one of the best of the breed."
"Apigee provides good documentation."
"Apigee is the best product in the industry in comparison to other API management solutions."
"The usability is one of the best aspects of the product."
"Apigee is perfect; they provide good support, people from Google are very cooperative as well, they listen for feedback on features, and I like this because it is already making our implementation easy."
"The most valuable feature of the current version of Apigee, such as Apigee Edge, is that the maintenance and scalability of the service are not our responsibility. As a SaaS platform, Google takes care of it, ensuring the system is stable. Another valuable feature is the ability to customize the platform extensively. We can add JavaScript functionality to cater to any use case that is not available out of the box."
"Boomi allows for more secure URLs and easy customization of HTTP and HTTPS protocols, which I find very beneficial."
"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."
"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."
"We can develop almost any interface that we need."
"Boomi AtomSphere API Management is a good product for integrating with Boomi as a backend service."
"Integrations take less time."
"AtomSphere API Management is a simple platform that's easy to use. If you're using it on-prem, there's a little learning curve."
"The stability of the solution is good."
 

Cons

"I would like to see SOAP services and socket-based connectivity developed."
"More documentation on the Open Banking Standard will help."
"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."
"The pricing of the solution could be improved upon. We'd like it if it was less costly."
"Unlike WSA, Apigee does not have a partnership model, something which makes it a bit easier for companies such as ours to go with the former solution."
"Apigee lacks market presence."
"Apigee is quite pricey. The price is a thorny issue as there is little room for negotiation."
"Analytics is one of the areas needing enhancement, specifically more visibility and control over traffic to improve capacity management and high availability."
"Overall, I would rate AtomSphere lower than solutions like APG or API Connect."
"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."
"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 solution must provide more AI services."
"The API management has room for improvement."
"Boomi AtomSphere API Management can be improved in terms of threshold management and policy management."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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 solution’s pricing could be more competitive."
"It is more expensive when you compare to open-source products or other vendors."
"Pricing options need to be chosen on a case-by-case basis."
"It is not suited for small companies. It's expensive."
"The iicense is subscription-based."
"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."
"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."
"Boomi AtomSphere API Management is a cheap product."
