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

"Apigee has better scalability than WSA."
"I would definitely recommend this product over any other products available in the market in this category."
"Highly scalable from any initial topology to horizontal extension"
"I'm confident in the stability of the solution, as it is very reliable and has good performance."
"Apigee Analytics dashboard is useful to monitor transactions, error percentage, transaction latency, etc."
"We use it to build API proxies for securing targeted back-ends with an emphasis on Continuous Integration/Continuous Development (CI/CD)."
"Easy interface to monetize and deliver APIs with very easy integration for third-party development environments/delivery."
"Its customer service is good."
"Integration is straightforward. There is no issue with it."
"The stability of the solution is good."
"Boomi allows for more secure URLs and easy customization of HTTP and HTTPS protocols, which I find very beneficial."
"Boomi AtomSphere API Management is a good product for integrating with Boomi as a backend service."
"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."
"We can create APIs straightforwardly and quickly and build jobs for data migration."
"The product's stability is good."
"Integrations take less time."
 

Cons

"The setup and installation process could be improved with a container-based system."
"They have an external developer platform that was a little bit painful."
"The solution can be improved by simplifying the account creation process."
"Overall, we have had to invest more time than expected to do that setup."
"Apigee is more of an entry level solution that does basic things pretty well, but if you want to go more customizable, you want to really look for another solution."
"Proxy versioning seems a bit confusing and buried in the publishing experience, especially for the URI-based versioning approach."
"The entire user across all the layers should be singly authenticated through an external authentication system."
"It is an expensive 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."
"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 API management has room for improvement."
"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."
"Scalability is an area where Boomi lacks."
"From an improvement perspective, the price could be cheaper."
"Most of the basic functionality is there in Boomi, but APG is a more feature-rich solution."
"The solution must provide more AI services."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The prices are comparable."
"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."
"The iicense is subscription-based."
"Apigee is a pretty expensive solution."
"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."
"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."
"Its price is reasonable for the features they provide and the maturity of the platform."
"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."
"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."
"Boomi AtomSphere API Management is a cheap product."
"The price is reasonable."
