Apigee Reviews

We use Apigee in health care, where multiple databases and applications need API. So far, there has been no standardization, but in the near future, there will be standardization towards the FHIR, which will drive interoperability and integration.

Apigee is an easy-to-use solution.

The solution’s scalability could be improved.

Apigee is a stable solution.

The solution’s technical support is good.

It is easy to deploy Apigee from one vendor, but if you are talking about multiple APIs, then it becomes complex. Then, you have to wait for the standardization efforts.

The solution’s pricing could be more competitive.

Apigee is used by one of the largest healthcare groups, which has over 50 hospitals, and each hospital has 50 to 60 applications.

I would recommend Apigee to other users.

Overall, I rate Apigee a nine out of ten.

We use the solution as a platform to integrate different APIs and provide authentication, authorization, and performance security services.

The solution's most valuable feature is its ability to integrate APIs for various industrial sectors, including telecom, banks, and multinational companies.

They should improve the solution's monitoring tools for on-premises environments. Also, they should make all the essential features available for the private cloud.

I have been using the solution for more than five years.

The solution is highly scalable. I rate its scalability as a ten.

I rate the solution's initial setup process as a seven.

The solution is advanced. It works efficiently compared to other solutions, such as MuleSoft. I highly recommend it out of all the integration platforms. I rate it as an eight.

My company works mainly in the BFSI domain. The tool helps us to build, manage, and run the APIs. 

The tool is one of the earliest API management products and is good. It reduces the Time To Market aspects of products. 

I would like to see better integration and some architectural improvements in future releases of the solution. 

I have been working with the solution for more than six years. 

The product is stable and I would rate its stability a nine of ten. 

I would rate the product's scalability an eight out of ten. 

Google's tech support team is helpful in terms of knowledge transfer. 

Positive

The tool's setup is very simple. You would need around 50 people to maintain the solution. 

The tool offers good returns on investment. 

The product's pricing is fair. You need to pay additional costs for the support. 

I would rate the product an eight out of ten. 

This is our major service when we have services and need an API gateway. They allow us to expose these services to clients.

The solution offers good customization. It's very easy to customize in general. 

You can integrate with things very well. 

The caching is good.

You can add basic flows with ease. 

The Google CMS is a great tool. 

The solution is stable. 

Technical support has been decent. 

We are considering scalability regarding using a centralized environment, and the documentation seems to indicate it's not easy to integrate with Kubernetes or deploy into a cluster. 

It's not using SPA, single page applications, like Angular. 

There isn't very good monitoring right now. We need better performance monitoring.

We need it to offer better debugging, so if there is slowness in the flow, it's not easy to fix. You have to use other tools to debug.

I've used the solution for four years. 

The stability is good. I'd rate it nine out of ten. It is very reliable. There are no bugs or glitches and it doesn't crash or freeze. We've had no issues on this front. 

We have around eight people that directly work with the solution. They are four developers, two engineers, and two support staff. 

The scalability is good. I'd rate it five out of ten. It's deployed on the VM. You cannot scale up in some areas as you might hit a limit. Then, there are peak hours, and that might be different as well. You might hit a wall. 

We've dealt with technical support in the past. They've handled a few tickets. However, I have never directly dealt with them. I have not seen any complaints in regard to the service they provide. 

Positive

We did not use a different product previously. 

I didn't handle the deployment. I don't handle that aspect of the solution. 

We do have a team that manages and administers the solution. 

There might have been some assistance from the Apigee support team during implementation. 

The pricing isn't something that I deal with. I don't know the exact cost. 

We are currently looking into other solutions. We want to see how others stack up in terms of pricing, stability, scalability, et cetera. 

I am using the latest version of the solution. 

I'm not sure if I would recommend the solution to others. I still need to make comparisons between this and other options. I'm trying to decide if I should stick with Apigee or move to something else.  

So far, I'd rate the solution eight out of ten. It has a high rating on Gartner. 

We are resellers of Apigee and also use it internally. The most common use case is monetization for the APIs. I'm the sales manager and we are resellers of Apigee.

The ability to convert from language to language using the same tool without needing different developer teams to deploy is a valuable feature. It doesn't require a lot of skill to run Apigee and the security features are good. This is a powerful tool for API management. 

The only disadvantage with Apigee is that they lack market presence. I think they may have limited resources. IBM's strategy is stronger on the marketing level. 

I believe they're working on adding some integration features that are currently lacking. 

I've been using this solution for three years. 

The solution is very stable even in very complicated environments. 

The solution is scalable and it's great for enterprise companies.

Technical support is good. Google team has many teams can support it. And there is a lot of partners ecosystem who understand and implement and support strategy as well.

I previously worked with IBM Connect but I prefer Apigee. It provides all the features and requirements for AI management.

The initial setup is very straightforward and can be done by anyone. 

The licensing cost is very reasonable and it gives you unlimited transactions.

I would recommend testing this solution for a month or so. It's easy to implement and easy to use. I rate the solution nine out of 10 - the one point reduction is because of the marketing strategy. 

Our primary use case is for security but also the mediation that goes with it.

The most valuable feature is monetization.

I would like to see SOAP services and socket-based connectivity developed. Apigee is known for exposing the REST API but not the SOAP API. Our clients are requesting these two features and we do have a workaround we use, but an upgrade in these two areas would be great. I would like to see more integration for example Enterprise Service Bus and this will help Apigee gain more popularity.

I have been working with Apigee for the past six years.

Apigee is a stable product. We have had existing customers for the past four or five years now.  

Technical support is alright but I have mixed criticism. Sometimes you get answers very quickly and on time, but in some scenarios when there is a product issue it takes time. If there is anything that is not implemented and they need some time to implement it, then it takes them months. If the error is something that is a known issue they reply back quickly.

Apigee is more straightforward and flexible, with implementation and designing. Other products currently on the market are more complex overall to sustain. The time it took us to set up was around two to three months.

There is one main reason we went with Apigee and that is the importance of the Gartner and Forester ratings. Apigee is on top of all the Gartner and Forrester ratings. The other reason is because of the smooth operational perspective.

If customers are trying to do long-term planning, and want to apply monetization on their APIs, then Apigee will be the best in this situation. I would rate Apigee a nine out of ten.

We use this for intuition with a third party.

It is easy to deploy, configure, and monitor the APA.

The hardware is extremely high compared to other similar products. The entire user across all the layers should be singly authenticated through an external authentication system.

I have been using Apigee for the past four to five years.

It is stable.

It is scalable.

Technical support is available twenty-four hours a day. When it is a critical issue, they come online and support us. They take real-time access to our system and support us in solving the problem. It can take time, but they are able to solve the problem.

Our initial setup and deployment took six months with the help of a partner.

Apigee is easy to deploy, configure and maintain.

I would rate Apigee a nine out of ten.

I mainly use Apigee to allow partner applications to consume services outside their organizations, for security, and for creating API proxies.

Apigee's best features are flexibility and breadth of capabilities.

I've been using Apigee for three to four years.

Apigee is stable.

Apigee's scalability is one of its main advantages.

Apigee's technical support is really good, and they have a community forum where we can ask questions and get help.

We previously used WSO2.

The initial setup for the on-prem solution is a little complex, but the hybrid setup is very easy because detailed steps are provided. The hybrid version takes one or two days to install, but the on-prem version takes a minimum of a week.

For on-premises, a consultant is required to install.

Apigee is a good product, and I would recommend it to others. I would rate Apigee eight out of ten.
