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 security that you have with Apigee is very good and aligns with compliance."
"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."
"The solution offers the best API management in the world."
"Apigee is stable, and we have had the system running on Apigee servers for more than four years without any stability issues."
"It has a very efficient logging system which is easy to maintain."
"It provides secured incoming connections with data and cloud-based API functionality, which results in efficiency and reliability."
"I'm confident in the stability of the solution, as it is very reliable and has good performance."
"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."
"The product's stability is good."
"The stability of the solution is good."
"Boomi allows for more secure URLs and easy customization of HTTP and HTTPS protocols, which I find very beneficial."
"Boomi AtomSphere API Management is a good product for integrating with Boomi as a backend service."
"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."
"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."
"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

"The initial setup for the on-prem solution is a little complex, but the hybrid setup is very easy because detailed steps are provided."
"The support is lacking. One of the main reasons it is lacking is because they have different applications bundled together."
"I would like to see SOAP services and socket-based connectivity developed."
"I would recommend this solution to those who want to start using it, but it depends on the requirements and automation."
"Customer service is a five out of 10."
"Google isn't enthusiastic about supporting older versions. Google is now trying to move all of its clients to X within the cloud."
"The cost of this solution could be improved and it would be better if it were on private cloud."
"Compared to its competitors, such as Axway AMPLIFY API Management and Layer7 API Management, Apigee could benefit from having more policies to cater to various use cases. This would reduce the need for writing custom JavaScripts. If more features come straight out of the box, we can leverage them instead of writing custom code to achieve the same functionality."
"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 product is really complex to manage."
"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."
"Overall, I would rate AtomSphere lower than solutions like APG or API Connect."
"Most of the basic functionality is there in Boomi, but APG is a more feature-rich solution."
"The solution must provide more AI services."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Apigee is a pretty expensive solution."
"My clients pay for a license."
"The cost of the licensing is based on the number of API calls that are made."
"It is an expensive solution."
"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."
"It is not suited for small companies. It's expensive."
"Pricing options need to be chosen on a case-by-case basis."
"Apigee is subject to licensing fees."
"Boomi AtomSphere API Management is a cheap product."
"Boomi AtomSphere API Management gives customers a good price. Price-wise, the product is good."
"The product can get very expensive quickly if you connect to multiple databases."
"The price is reasonable."
