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

"Apigee is the heart of the architectural design for building an integration layer in our digital transformation projects. Organizations need an integration layer to connect their legacy backend services with the external world, such as Fintechs. This layer must be secure, not just a simple pass-through or gateway."
"The opportunity for customization is really vast and it is a really good feature built into the product."
"We have been using Apigee mostly for proxy FGIs. We also use its security features as well as traffic control features."
"API/proxy lifecycle workflow for API providers is quite good and one of Apigee's strongest features."
"Apigee's customer support is excellent."
"Apigee is relatively easy to use for developers."
"The security that you have with Apigee is very good and aligns with compliance."
"Apigee provides good documentation."
"Boomi allows for more secure URLs and easy customization of HTTP and HTTPS protocols, which I find very beneficial."
"We can create APIs straightforwardly and quickly and build jobs for data migration."
"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."
"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 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."
"The stability of the solution is good."
"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."
 

Cons

"Overall, we have had to invest more time than expected to do that setup."
"As it is now, the rotation of certificates is a manual task and is something that can be improved."
"When it comes to the rate limit, we don't have a specific category for rate limits for a particular customer."
"Drag and drop of features would be more beneficial, rather than manually working on the configuration and updates."
"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."
"The entire user across all the layers should be singly authenticated through an external authentication system."
"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."
"The caching capabilities are somewhat limited. This is more on the developer-oriented capabilities."
"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."
"The product is really complex to manage."
"Scalability is an area where Boomi lacks."
"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."
"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."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"As most of the customers say, the tool is a bit expensive."
"Apigee has several different licenses you can obtain depending on your needs."
"In Latin America, Apigee is expensive. It's not for small businesses; it's more for big businesses."
"The cost increases as the usage increases."
"Apigee is slightly expensive, but again, it can depend on the type of usage. All things considered, it is slightly expensive."
"The prices are comparable."
"It is a bit on the expensive side. Its licensing cost is a bit high, and that's where we've seen people going back on their decisions."
"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."
"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."
"The price is reasonable."
"Boomi AtomSphere API Management is a cheap product."
