Amandeep Pawar - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Engineer at Airy Software Technologies Private Limited
Centralized API gateway has improved microservice security and provided deep traffic analytics
Apigee's API gateway could be improved. There are some limitations for high throughputs, which we can address. Overall, Apigee is a robust API management platform where we can configure centralized traffic management, but there are a few areas for improvement. The developer experience could be more intuitive, especially for configurations and complex API proxies and policies. Debugging production issues can sometimes be challenging, so more detailed diagnostic and easier-to-use troubleshooting tools would be valuable. The analytics dashboard could offer more customization and deeper insights without requiring additional configuration. Simplifying pricing and licensing would make Apigee more accessible for smaller organizations. I would like better support for cloud-native deployments, Kubernetes integrations, and AI-assisted policy recommendations. I would also like to see AI-assisted troubleshooting, more customizable analytics and developer portal, better enterprise documentation, easier policy configuration, and a simplified licensing model to enhance both the developer experience and day-to-day operations.

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 scalability is incredible."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Apigee is a strong-featured solution, it leads in Gartner Quadrant ratings, and it is a full-slated API solution that has the features that an API gateway requires."
"I use it because it's simple, it automatically updates, and It hasn't given me any issues."
"Apigee is a great product with good feedback and recommendations from clients."
"The stability of the product is not an issue."
"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."
"We can create APIs straightforwardly and quickly and build jobs for data migration."
"Integration is straightforward. There is no issue with it."
"Boomi AtomSphere API Management is a good product for integrating with Boomi as a backend service."
"Boomi allows for more secure URLs and easy customization of HTTP and HTTPS protocols, which I find very beneficial."
"We can develop almost any interface that we need."
"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."
 

Cons

"We need better performance monitoring."
"Apigee is costlier compared to other solutions. For government organizations, especially those that do not want cloud-based solutions and prefer on-premise implementations, we recommend WSO2 due to its cost-effectiveness and suitability for private cloud environments."
"When it comes to the rate limit, we don't have a specific category for rate limits for a particular customer."
"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."
"What my clients don't like is that the on-premises solution is not being treated and maintained as well as the cloud solution."
"As it is now, the rotation of certificates is a manual task and is something that can be improved."
"An area for improvement would be to provide more information while troubleshooting."
"Pricing is an area that can be improved, as it is a little on the higher side."
"Most of the basic functionality is there in Boomi, but APG is a more feature-rich solution."
"Overall, I would rate AtomSphere lower than solutions like APG or API Connect."
"The solution must provide more AI services."
"Boomi AtomSphere API Management can be improved in terms of threshold management and policy management."
"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."
"Scalability is an area where Boomi lacks."
"The API management has room for improvement."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost increases as the usage increases."
"It is an expensive solution."
"We have a contract for three years. I don't know the cost."
"The product's pricing is fair. You need to pay additional costs for the support."
"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."
"The tool is extremely expensive."
"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."
"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."
"Boomi AtomSphere API Management is a cheap product."
"The price is reasonable."
