A complete API management solution that is backed by Google
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. Google is working proactively to move more runtime services on-premise while keeping only the management services in the cloud. It is replacing competitors like IBM and MuleSoft in many organizations. Google's documentation side could be better, providing clearer and more comprehensive information for users. Improvements in supporting languages are also needed, such as better support for Java SDKs, which are not pre-built. Additionally, more pre-built policies need to be available. While these features may not be available on other platforms either, Apigee, being ranked number one, can potentially exceed customer expectations. More customer-friendly deployment strategies for hybrid models, especially securing data and minimizing management plane interaction, could also be beneficial. Apigee already meets many of the finest requirements in the market for cloud-based solutions.

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 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 slightly expensive, but again, it can depend on the type of usage. All things considered, it is slightly expensive."
"It is an expensive solution."
"It is not suited for small companies. It's expensive."
"Apigee is subject to licensing fees."
"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."
"Apigee has several different licenses you can obtain depending on your needs."
