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

"It's easy to use and the security features are valuable."
"The most valuable feature of the current version of Apigee, such as Apigee Edge, is that the maintenance and scalability of the service are not our responsibility. As a SaaS platform, Google takes care of it, ensuring the system is stable. Another valuable feature is the ability to customize the platform extensively. We can add JavaScript functionality to cater to any use case that is not available out of the box."
"This solution is much easier to set up compared to any of the other API gateway solutions."
"Apigee has better scalability than WSA."
"The capabilities are very powerful."
"Apigee is relatively easy to use for developers."
"The most valuable features of Apigee for me are analytics, security, ease of use, and integration capabilities."
"The initial setup was easy - there was an onboarding document with steps that we followed."
"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."
"We can create APIs straightforwardly and quickly and build jobs for data migration."
"Boomi AtomSphere API Management is a good product for integrating with Boomi as a backend service."
"Integrations take less time."
"The product's stability is good."
"We can develop almost any interface that we need."
 

Cons

"Drag and drop of features would be more beneficial, rather than manually working on the configuration and updates."
"An area for improvement would be to provide more information while troubleshooting."
"The Apigee cloud admin UI could be more user-friendly by adding a few more features."
"The solution tends to hide the limitations to keep selling the product."
"The initial setup is not straightforward, particularly for hybrid solutions."
"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 is based on various open sourced projects, we might have to depend on the fixes provided by those components rather than Apigee directly fixing the issues."
"I have heard there maybe be some security issues that need to be addressed. If this is the situation I would encourage taking a look at the security matters."
"Boomi AtomSphere API Management can be improved in terms of threshold management and policy management."
"Most of the basic functionality is there in Boomi, but APG is a more feature-rich solution."
"Overall, I would rate AtomSphere lower than solutions like APG or API Connect."
"The solution must provide more AI services."
"The product is really complex to manage."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Apigee is a pretty expensive solution."
"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."
"My clients pay for a license."
"It is more expensive when you compare to open-source products or other vendors."
"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."
"The product's pricing is fair. You need to pay additional costs for the support."
"The cost of the licensing is based on the number of API calls that are made."
"Boomi AtomSphere API Management is a cheap product."
"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."
