Amandeep Pawar - PeerSpot reviewer
Engineer Technology at Iris 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.

Enables real-time insights and secure API management for efficient customer interactions
The main improvement needed is the ability to have different base URLs for HTTP and HTTPS for different clients. Currently, I can have only one base URL for one atom. It would help if I could set up a proxy with different URLs within Boomi as a simple configuration instead of needing external applications. Also, Boomi can integrate AI to manage backend loads and provide insights into runtime engine consumption.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The developer portal is very useful to customers."
"Overall, I am satisfied with this product and it is aligned to all of my needs."
"Great flexibility with its features."
"It's a good return on my investment."
"The most valuable feature of Apigee is its simplicity of deploying an API and restricting access, like rate limit, with the API."
"If you have numerous applications and high traffic, Apigee is a strong choice for its excellent features and outstanding performance."
"It accelerates development and deployment processes."
"Apigee is market standard currently, as it is the number one product compared to any other product, and it has different policies, built-in API management policies provided by Apigee, with over 50 plus policies available."
"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 stability of the solution is good."
"Integrations take less time."
"We can develop almost any interface that we need."
"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."
"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 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

"Apigee is not a solution compatible with public clouds, making it one of its shortcomings where improvements are required."
"Could be more user friendly."
"We do not have control over the installation."
"More documentation on the Open Banking Standard will help."
"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."
"The analytical aspect of it could be better. I think it is fair if Apigee lets you configure some of the metrics of the key details you want to monitor in terms of analytics."
"There is room for improvement in v-logging for each transaction. Additionally, Apigee only allows validation of transactions up to a four-hour period, which requires manual hovering over the date and time."
"Development IDE, especially for Architect Review."
"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."
"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."
"Scalability is an area where Boomi lacks."
"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."
"The solution must provide more AI services."
"The API management has room for improvement."
"The product is really complex to manage."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The iicense is subscription-based."
"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."
"The cost increases as the usage increases."
"You do not necessarily pay for the license. The cloud solution is based more on transactions. So, you pay for it either way."
"The prices are comparable."
"They need to work on the cost of the solution."
"Pricing options need to be chosen on a case-by-case basis."
"If the budget is not a concern then I will choose to go with Apigee over WSA-2, but if it is then I would prefer the latter solution."
"The product can get very expensive quickly if you connect to multiple databases."
"Boomi AtomSphere API Management is a cheap product."
"The price is reasonable."
"Boomi AtomSphere API Management gives customers a good price. Price-wise, the product is good."
