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 customer service and support are cooperative and effective in providing insights and solutions during challenges."
"It's good for development, we like that the solution offers easy integration, it has a good UI and is user-friendly, the solution scales well, and it's stable."
"Easy interface to monetize and deliver APIs with very easy integration for third-party development environments/delivery."
"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."
"Apigee is very easy to use, and you can code in any language."
"One of the best parts of this solution is the implementation as we did not need to use code or out-of-box policies."
"I use it because it's simple, it automatically updates, and It hasn't given me any issues."
"Technical support is good with everything."
"All API usage is now governed and tracked."
"The ease by which you can define policies to manage is impressive."
"The solution is stable."
"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 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."
"The most valuable features are the easy integration with the Oracle cloud, and that it's easy to use."
"Oracle's APIP CS is a platform capable for consistently covering the complete API Lifecycle from design to retirement, supporting an API-first approach."
 

Cons

"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."
"They need to work on the cost of the solution."
"The solution is pretty expensive."
"I'd like this solution to improve on releasing new features; I'd like it to be more frequent."
"We do not have control over the installation."
"Apigee has a lot of components, which means that management will be a bit difficult."
"Apigee's user interface could be more straightforward and have more options. Also, it would be nice if it were ready to work out of the box without so much configuration."
"Apigee is not a solution compatible with public clouds, making it one of its shortcomings where improvements are required."
"I would like to see enhanced support for SOAP Service and the corresponding WS-Security policies."
"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."
"Even when an API is functioning correctly, there seems to be a glitch within OCI (Oracle Cloud Infrastructure)."
"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 solution's cost in terms of scaling could be better."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The current version of Apigee is not too expensive, but we are currently in talks with Google to understand their roadmap for Apigee X. However, we anticipate that with the introduction of Apigee X, the pricing will likely increase."
"It is an expensive solution."
"In Latin America, Apigee is expensive. It's not for small businesses; it's more for big businesses."
"It is not suited for small companies. It's expensive."
"We have a contract for three years. I don't know the cost."
"You do not necessarily pay for the license. The cloud solution is based more on transactions. So, you pay for it either way."
"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 cost increases as the usage increases."
"Pricing depends on the specific services used."
"The pricing is for each logical gateway (a logical gateway can have multiple physical nodes)."
"Oracle API Platform Cloud Service is a cheap solution."
"The solution is expensive to scale."
