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

"Tracing in Apigee is a very good feature."
"If you have very complex scenarios where you are trying to embark on a cloud journey and you still have systems on-premise or some systems are hosted on some other cloud and you want to do an integration, Apigee is really good."
"Apigee Analytics dashboard is useful to monitor transactions, error percentage, transaction latency, etc."
"The features I found most valuable are how the APIs are published, the whole process of finalizing the API, and then controlling it."
"Overall the solution works well, it is one of the best solutions on the market."
"The initial setup isn't too complex."
"We use it to build API proxies for securing targeted back-ends with an emphasis on Continuous Integration/Continuous Development (CI/CD)."
"The security that you have with Apigee is very good and aligns with compliance."
"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."
"Boomi allows for more secure URLs and easy customization of HTTP and HTTPS protocols, which I find very beneficial."
"The stability of the solution is good."
"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."
"Boomi AtomSphere API Management is a good product for integrating with Boomi as a backend service."
"Integrations take less time."
 

Cons

"I'd like this solution to improve on releasing new features; I'd like it to be more frequent."
"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."
"Apigee lacks market presence."
"We do not have control over the installation."
"As it is now, the rotation of certificates is a manual task and is something that can be improved."
"It needs predictive analysis of consumption."
"Apigee is quite pricey. The price is a thorny issue as there is little room for negotiation."
"Apigee does not have a testing feature."
"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."
"Boomi AtomSphere API Management can be improved in terms of threshold management and policy management."
"From an improvement perspective, the price could be cheaper."
"The product is really complex to manage."
"The API management has room for improvement."
"Scalability is an area where Boomi lacks."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"My clients pay for a license."
"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."
"Its price is reasonable for the features they provide and the maturity of the platform."
"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 tool is extremely expensive."
"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."
"Apigee is expensive and not cost-effective. On a scale of one to ten, I would rate it an eight for the high cost. The changes individuals need to make on their side are costly."
"It is more expensive when you compare to open-source products or other vendors."
"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."
