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.

Secure and simplify API management with effective deployment options
In our organization, we use Oracle API Platform Cloud Service primarily to host and manage our middleware APIs. Our middleware APIs are registered on this platform and exposed to a fixed domain, which supports our organizational goals effectively Since our enterprise has many APIs, Oracle API…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Before using Apigee, we used to have file transfer integrations; with Apigee in place, we are directly integrating or exposing our APIs to our partners who can access our services directly in real time."
"Apigee has better scalability than WSA."
"The security that you have with Apigee is very good and aligns with compliance."
"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."
"A very functional solution."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of Apigee is its simplicity of deploying an API and restricting access, like rate limit, with the API."
"The tool is one of the earliest API management products and is good. It reduces the Time To Market aspects of products."
"I find the customizable dashboards convenient. When you have a privatized dashboard, it's easy to log in, get an immediate snapshot of what's happening, and quickly address any problems."
"All API usage is now governed and tracked."
"The security mode and the deployment process are significant assets, offering simplified deployment and effective troubleshooting options, including Docker support."
"All orders are now in real-time and we are adding extra features that can tell us who is placing the order and the different levels of access to different types of customers."
"The ease by which you can define policies to manage is impressive."
"The most valuable features are the easy integration with the Oracle cloud, and that it's easy to use."
"The solution is stable."
"The Gateways are communicating with a Management Service, which lives in the Cloud, to send usage information or to fetch changes for the deployed APIs."
 

Cons

"Apigee on premise is quite complex and it is always moving faster."
"The cost of this solution could be improved and it would be better if it were on private cloud."
"Pricing is an area that can be improved, as it is a little on the higher side."
"There is room for improvement in v-logging for each transaction."
"I would like them to add features, such as caching and mediation policies."
"There is potential for improvement in specific domain integrations, such as standard integration capabilities needed for banking or retail sectors."
"We are experiencing some performance issues."
"We've encountered challenges in leveraging Connect functionality, prompting us to explore additional tools, such as Fergus, to address implementation and security issues."
"There should be closer integration between the API Platform Cloud Service and the Identity Cloud Service to allow IDCS Applications, protecting backend systems, to be linked to the API Applications that consumers use to access APIs."
"The solution's cost in terms of scaling could be better."
"I would like to see enhanced support for SOAP Service and the corresponding WS-Security policies."
"In the next release, I would like to see more security policies and for it to include an on-cloud gateway."
"The challenge is the product is getting new features at rapid pace."
"The on-premises connectivity can be improved because it is still not at its best."
"In future updates, we might be interested to see more enhancements after exploring the existing features over the next year."
"Oracle API Platform Cloud Service provides an API documentation tool, which is quite outdated."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Apigee is a pretty expensive solution."
"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."
"It is not suited for small companies. It's expensive."
"The product's pricing is fair. You need to pay additional costs for the support."
"The tool is extremely expensive."
"I would like to see the implementation of further options for billing because as it is now, the opportunities you have in terms of a package are limited."
"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."
"The pricing is for each logical gateway (a logical gateway can have multiple physical nodes)."
"The solution is expensive to scale."
"Oracle API Platform Cloud Service is a cheap solution."
"Pricing depends on the specific services used."
