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

"It is easy to use from a developer perspective and a customer perspective; it is easy to set up, it is on Google Platform, and there are multiple deployment models they support, which is great."
"Apigee provides good documentation."
"Highly scalable from any initial topology to horizontal extension"
"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."
"There are just a lot of security features in general."
"They capture the details of all the incoming and outgoing traffic of your APIs. Based on 300+ default dimensions you can generate beautiful and insightful reports on usage and consumption of APIs."
"The use case which I have installed serves the intended purpose."
"The security provided by the solution is excellent."
"The product's stability is good."
"Boomi AtomSphere API Management is a good product for integrating with Boomi as a backend service."
"The stability of the solution is good."
"Integrations take less time."
"We can create APIs straightforwardly and quickly and build jobs for data migration."
"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."
"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

"Better functionality for validating inputs and outputs would be helpful."
"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 solution tends to hide the limitations to keep selling the product."
"The definition of the APIs should improve because you can't easily validate the inputs and outputs."
"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."
"Google isn't enthusiastic about supporting older versions. Google is now trying to move all of its clients to X within the cloud."
"What my clients don't like is that the on-premises solution is not being treated and maintained as well as the cloud solution."
"The installation and management of this product are still a clumsy task."
"Scalability is an area where Boomi lacks."
"Overall, I would rate AtomSphere lower than solutions like APG or API Connect."
"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."
"Most of the basic functionality is there in Boomi, but APG is a more feature-rich solution."
"The solution must provide more AI services."
"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."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Apigee has several different licenses you can obtain depending on your needs."
"The cost of the licensing is based on the number of API calls that are made."
"It is more expensive when you compare to open-source products or other vendors."
"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 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."
"Its price is reasonable for the features they provide and the maturity of the platform."
"They need to work on the cost of the solution."
"Boomi AtomSphere API Management gives customers a good price. Price-wise, the product is good."
"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."
