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

"From two or three years back using it to now, it's quite fast."
"I'm still evaluating, but in terms of overall performance and stability, it's quite good."
"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."
"I simply like how you can personalize your products and put them into product categories. That's what I like the most."
"The tool is good, easy to use, and has good customer support."
"The opportunity for customization is really vast and it is a really good feature built into the product."
"We are pretty happy with their service overall."
"We can customize the dashboard."
"We can develop almost any interface that we need."
"The stability of the solution is good."
"Boomi AtomSphere API Management is a good product for integrating with Boomi as a backend service."
"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."
"Integration is straightforward. There is no issue with it."
"Integrations take less time."
"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."
 

Cons

"They have an external developer platform that was a little bit painful."
"The caching capabilities are somewhat limited."
"Apigee could do more to make users aware of what is available in the add-ons."
"One feature they have to invest time into is the developer portal they use."
"The installation and management of this product are still a clumsy task."
"The ability to work across different management solutions in a plug and play fashion would make it easier for faster uptake."
"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."
"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."
"Boomi AtomSphere API Management can be improved in terms of threshold management and policy management."
"From an improvement perspective, the price could be cheaper."
"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 API management has room for improvement."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is more expensive when you compare to open-source products or other vendors."
"The solution’s pricing could be more competitive."
"You do not necessarily pay for the license. The cloud solution is based more on transactions. So, you pay for it either way."
"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."
"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."
"Apigee has several different licenses you can obtain depending on your needs."
"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."
"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."
"Boomi AtomSphere API Management is a cheap product."
"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."
