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 API management on the solution is very good, it's likely the most valuable aspect of the solution for us."
"The initial setup isn't too complex."
"A very functional solution."
"Apigee is a front-layer gateway and it helps to improve our overall performance."
"The usability is one of the best aspects of the product."
"It's good for development, we like that the solution offers easy integration, it has a good UI and is user-friendly, the solution scales well, and it's stable."
"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."
"Apigee is a very lightweight solution."
"Boomi AtomSphere API Management is a good product for integrating with Boomi as a backend service."
"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."
"We can develop almost any interface that we need."
"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."
"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."
 

Cons

"I would like to see the monitoring, dashboards, and reports improve."
"Apigee's product cost is quite high compared to other products. Customers think that going with Google ensures quick resolution of security or performance issues."
"Proxy versioning seems a bit confusing and buried in the publishing experience, especially for the URI-based versioning approach."
"Apigee could improve by integrating with more identity providers and offering a default authentication module."
"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."
"There is potential for improvement in specific domain integrations, such as standard integration capabilities needed for banking or retail sectors."
"I would say that it currently takes too long to set up and deploy and that it is not as short a time to complete the process as it should be."
"Integration should be improved."
"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."
"The solution must provide more AI services."
"Overall, I would rate AtomSphere lower than solutions like APG or API Connect."
"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 product is really complex to manage."
"Boomi AtomSphere API Management can be improved in terms of threshold management and policy management."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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 price of Apigee could be less expensive. The solution can be purchased monthly or annually."
"It is an expensive solution."
"Compared to other products, Apigee had higher pricing."
"Pricing options need to be chosen on a case-by-case basis."
"It is more expensive when you compare to open-source products or other vendors."
"The price is reasonable."
"The product can get very expensive quickly if you connect to multiple databases."
"Boomi AtomSphere API Management is a cheap product."
"Boomi AtomSphere API Management gives customers a good price. Price-wise, the product is good."
