ShawkyFoda  - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides high visibility and control with good traffic monitoring
Analytics is one of the areas needing enhancement, specifically more visibility and control over traffic to improve capacity management and high availability. The replication process between Master and Slave for disaster recovery takes too long. Dependencies on analytics impact the performance of the user interface, which should be separate. The complex setup process on-premises, especially with multi-node installations, could also be improved. Additional control in product declarations, based on operations like POST and GET, is needed.
Anurag Bandyopadhyay - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers a good dashboard that provides a great overview to users
I would say that maybe along the same path that Traefik Enterprise is currently on, you have most of the things straight up in the UI that you can check even with minimal training. You can just use, understand, and debug things from the UI. There is still work to be done in the tool, which can ensure that anyone with just minimal know-how of the product doesn't have to really go into the terminal and see the status of routes, concierge routes, or whether certain things are up or not. One should be able to just check things straight up from the UI and get to know what kind of issues are there in the solution, and even though such a feature is already there in the tool, there is more work to be done in it. I would not particularly recommend any improvements when it comes to the security of traffic. I think the tool is pretty pluggable in terms of whatever security we want to put in our routes, even though it is just as a middleware or just as a supporting product for whatever we have in our services.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Apigee gives you plenty of opportunities to set up your workspace depending on how you want to manage your APIs."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"It's stable."
"API/proxy lifecycle workflow for API providers is quite good and one of Apigee's strongest features."
"The ease of creating policies has been the most useful of the solution's features. It's a quick ramp-up time. It's easy for our support staff to implement the policies in the API management layer."
"The security that you have with Apigee is very good and aligns with compliance."
"Apigee provides out-of-the-box policies, so it is ready to use with minimal configuration to those policies. You can govern your API and manage the life cycle of the API completely with the Apigee tool."
"Apigee makes proxy management very simple."
"The tool handles scalability pretty easily. Adding more instances of services and all are pretty intuitive to do using Traefik Enterprise."
 

Cons

"Integration should be improved."
"Role-based access management needs to be improved. It would also be nice if the solution could be integrated with code versioning systems like Git/Bitbucket."
"The cost of the solution is quite high."
"The pricing of the solution could be improved upon. We'd like it if it was less costly."
"I'd like this solution to improve on releasing new features; I'd like it to be more frequent."
"There is potential for improvement in specific domain integrations, such as standard integration capabilities needed for banking or retail sectors."
"The caching capabilities are somewhat limited. This is more on the developer-oriented capabilities."
"Drag and drop of features would be more beneficial, rather than manually working on the configuration and updates."
"One should be able to just check things straight up from the UI and get to know what kind of issues are there in the solution, and even though such a feature is already there in the tool, there is more work to be done in it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Apigee is slightly expensive, but again, it can depend on the type of usage. All things considered, it is slightly expensive."
"The tool is extremely expensive."
"It is not suited for small companies. It's expensive."
"It is an expensive solution."
"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."
"Pricing options need to be chosen on a case-by-case basis."
"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."
"Its price is reasonable for the features they provide and the maturity of the platform."
"I would say that Traefik Enterprise is cheaper than the other alternatives in the market."
