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

"A special feature is configuring target servers, proxy config, and Cert related security, which regularizes incoming traffic from cloud users or external applications to internal applications in a secured manner."
"The most important feature is the security capabilities and the way it integrates very quickly with other security providers. We have integrated it with Azure and it integrates quite seamlessly."
"The security that you have with Apigee is very good and aligns with compliance."
"I'm still evaluating, but in terms of overall performance and stability, it's quite good."
"The most valuable features of Apigee for me are analytics, security, ease of use, and integration capabilities."
"The scalability is incredible."
"The tool is good, easy to use, and has good customer support."
"Apigee has better scalability than WSA."
"The solution is stable."
"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."
"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."
"The ease by which you can define policies to manage is impressive."
"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."
"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."
 

Cons

"When it comes to the rate limit, we don't have a specific category for rate limits for a particular customer."
"When compared with other products and tools in the market like MuleSoft or other API management solutions, I see some lagging in regards to integration capacity — where we don't have all of the connectors."
"Apigee is quite pricey. The price is a thorny issue as there is little room for negotiation."
"Could be more user friendly."
"The pricing of the solution could be improved upon. We'd like it if it was less costly."
"Unlike WSA, Apigee does not have a partnership model, something which makes it a bit easier for companies such as ours to go with the former solution."
"I would like to see the support improved. I think the time frame should be shorter for responses when it comes to technical support. This is not the ideal situation you want to be in when you need support."
"The hardware is extremely high compared to other similar products."
"The solution's cost in terms of scaling could be better."
"Oracle API Platform Cloud Service provides an API documentation tool, which is quite outdated."
"I would like to see enhanced support for SOAP Service and the corresponding WS-Security policies."
"In future updates, we might be interested to see more enhancements after exploring the existing features over the next year."
"The challenge is the product is getting new features at rapid pace."
"I would like to see enhanced support for SOAP Service and the corresponding WS-Security policies."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool is extremely expensive."
"As most of the customers say, the tool is a bit 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."
"Apigee is subject to licensing fees."
"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."
"The iicense is subscription-based."
"It is more expensive when you compare to open-source products or other vendors."
"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."
"Pricing depends on the specific services used."
"Oracle API Platform Cloud Service is a cheap solution."
"The pricing is for each logical gateway (a logical gateway can have multiple physical nodes)."
"The solution is expensive to scale."
