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.

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

"One of the best parts of this solution is the implementation as we did not need to use code or out-of-box policies. When it comes to the cloud-based architecture, there is a high level of reliability."
"It has all the features necessary to work in anything from a basic scenario to advanced applications."
"The tool is one of the earliest API management products and is good. It reduces the Time To Market aspects of products."
"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."
"It is scalable."
"Apigee gives you plenty of opportunities to set up your workspace depending on how you want to manage your APIs."
"The use case which I have installed serves the intended purpose."
"The following features are most valuable: API Management, Analytics, Quota, and the Developer Portal."
"The tool handles scalability pretty easily. Adding more instances of services and all are pretty intuitive to do using Traefik Enterprise."
 

Cons

"They need to work on the cost of the solution."
"The caching capabilities are somewhat limited. This is more on the developer-oriented capabilities."
"One feature they have to invest time into is the developer portal they use."
"The solution is pretty expensive."
"There should be an integrated continuous integration and continuous deployment approach with Apigee. Currently, for development at a more integrated level, you have set it up yourself."
"The user interface could be better. It could be easier to navigate and more user-friendly."
"The initial setup is not straightforward, particularly for hybrid solutions."
"Could be more user friendly."
"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

"As most of the customers say, the tool is a bit expensive."
"Pricing options need to be chosen on a case-by-case basis."
"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 price of Apigee could be less expensive. The solution can be purchased monthly or annually."
"They need to work on the cost of the solution."
"You do not necessarily pay for the license. The cloud solution is based more on transactions. So, you pay for it either way."
"Since it was acquired by Google, we can get a license based on our requirements and the cost level will depend on cloud access and support."
"The tool is extremely expensive."
"I would say that Traefik Enterprise is cheaper than the other alternatives in the market."
