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

"The following features are most valuable: API Management, Analytics, Quota, and the Developer Portal."
"The ease of creating policies has been the most useful of the solution's features; it's a quick ramp-up time and it's easy for our support staff to implement the policies in the API management layer."
"The API moderation, administration monitoring, product architecture, infrastructure, and overall quality is good."
"If you have very complex scenarios where you are trying to embark on a cloud journey and you still have systems on-premise or some systems are hosted on some other cloud and you want to do an integration, Apigee is really good."
"The developer portal is very useful to customers."
"This is a front-layer gateway that helps to improve our overall performance."
"I would definitely recommend this product over any other products available in the market in this category."
"The usability is one of the best aspects of the product."
"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."
"Oracle's APIP CS is a platform capable for consistently covering the complete API Lifecycle from design to retirement, supporting an API-first approach."
"The security mode and the deployment process are significant assets, offering simplified deployment and effective troubleshooting options, including Docker support."
"Oracle API Platform Cloud Service's UI is quite user-friendly and supports a hybrid deployment model."
"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."
"This is part of our new digital offering for customers and has helped with new prospects to offer a modern secure API solution, therefore it is having a real impact on the business adoption of API integration for customers."
"Oracle's APIP CS is a platform capable for consistently covering the complete API Lifecycle from design to retirement, supporting an API-first approach."
"All API usage is now governed and tracked."
 

Cons

"Apigee is demanding on the infrastructure so the setup cost is very high for an on-premises deployment."
"The integration could be improved within the solution; there is a need to pay more attention to this."
"The solution could add even more functionalities."
"Development IDE, especially for Architect Review."
"I think the portal could offer a better user experience. It's functional and does what it's supposed to but it's not user friendly."
"GCP is improving the regular version control. There have been some challenges when we talk about the hybrid deployment model. For example, some runtime services' data was available only on the cloud, but financial institutions and other customers have requested more on-site data storage. This is especially important in regions where Google data centers are unavailable, such as certain areas in Africa, Asia, and the Middle East."
"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."
"More documentation on the Open Banking Standard will help."
"In future updates, we might be interested to see more enhancements after exploring the existing features over the next year."
"The solution's cost in terms of scaling could be better."
"Even when an API is functioning correctly, there seems to be a glitch within OCI (Oracle Cloud Infrastructure)."
"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."
"In the next release, I would like to see more security policies and for it to include an on-cloud gateway."
"I would like to see enhanced support for SOAP Service and the corresponding WS-Security policies."
"Oracle API Platform Cloud Service provides an API documentation tool, which is quite outdated."
"The on-premises connectivity can be improved because it is still not at its best."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product's pricing is fair. You need to pay additional costs for the support."
"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."
"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."
"They need to work on the cost of the 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 an expensive solution."
"We have a contract for three years. I don't know the cost."
"My clients pay for a license."
"Pricing depends on the specific services used."
"The solution is expensive to scale."
"Oracle API Platform Cloud Service is a cheap solution."
"The pricing is for each logical gateway (a logical gateway can have multiple physical nodes)."
