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's a good return on my investment."
"It has actually helped us to be able to integrate our internal applications with external vendors, acting as a single point of entry into the enterprise and making management as well as security simpler."
"Apigee is a very lightweight solution."
"We have been using Apigee mostly for proxy FGIs. We also use its security features as well as traffic control features."
"I like implementing different policies, for example, rate-limiting policy."
"I simply like how you can personalize your products and put them into product categories. That's what I like the most."
"The most valuable feature of Apigee is its simplicity of deploying an API and restricting access, like rate limit, with the API."
"The stability of the product is not an issue."
"Integrations take less time."
"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."
"Boomi AtomSphere API Management is a good product for integrating with Boomi as a backend service."
"The stability of the solution is good."
"We can develop almost any interface that we need."
"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."
"Integration is straightforward. There is no issue with it."
"We can create APIs straightforwardly and quickly and build jobs for data migration."
 

Cons

"Integration should be improved."
"Support of integration is what is most challenging in Apigee, as well as the complexity of the components."
"I would like to see a long-term direction for the overall architecture (similar to what WSO2 has done), in that all three areas — pub/sub, events, and APIs — are treated as part of a continuum, instead of treating each as separate topics."
"I am still struggling to understand how we can use Apigee as a hybrid system. The pricing of this solution could also be improved as there are multiple new products coming onto the market at competitive price points."
"The support is lacking. One of the main reasons it is lacking is because they have different applications bundled together."
"The Apigee cloud admin UI could be more user-friendly by adding a few more features."
"The initial setup is not straightforward, particularly for hybrid solutions."
"The caching capabilities are somewhat limited. This is more on the developer-oriented capabilities."
"Scalability is an area where Boomi lacks."
"The API management has room for improvement."
"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."
"Most of the basic functionality is there in Boomi, but APG is a more feature-rich solution."
"The solution must provide more AI services."
"Overall, I would rate AtomSphere lower than solutions like APG or API Connect."
"From an improvement perspective, the price could be cheaper."
"The product is really complex to manage."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The prices are comparable."
"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."
"The solution is a bit expensive. It's not for organizations in the early stages of their lifecycle but is more suited for mid- to enterprise-level platforms. Pricing varies by deployment model, with SaaS being the cheapest, costing around $100,000 per year for a subscription. For hybrid and on-prem deployments, the price increases. The on-prem model includes a license and additional installation and configuration professional service costs, which can be at least $40,000 to $60,000 for the initial setup. While it's not cheap, it offers long-term value and can be worthwhile."
"It is an expensive solution."
"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."
"Compared to other products, Apigee had higher pricing."
"The current version of Apigee is not too expensive, but we are currently in talks with Google to understand their roadmap for Apigee X. However, we anticipate that with the introduction of Apigee X, the pricing will likely increase."
"Boomi AtomSphere API Management is a cheap product."
"The price is reasonable."
"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."
