Apigee Reviews

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. Apigee is quite pricey. The price is a thorny issue as there is little room for negotiation. 

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. 

While I cannot comment definitively on the partnership issue, as the company has yet to get back to me, I can say that this issue and the one of the pricing are why I choose to rate the solution as a six out of ten. 

The stability is fine. 

Apigee has better scalability than WSA. 

While the technical support seems fine, I cannot comment on this with certainty, as we did not go ahead with implementation of the solution. Had we gone ahead with a partnership with Apigee, then I would be in a better position to do so.

We are customers of Apigee.

I rate Apigee as a six out of ten because of its pricing. 

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 it for API monitoring purposes, and for the management of KPM metrics around the APIs.

They need to work on the cost of the solution. But again, it depends on the use case. The use case which I have installed serves the intended purpose. I don't have any negative feedback on it.

We have been using the solution for the last six or seven years.

I am satisfied with the stability of the solution.

I have around 500-2000 users using the solution in my company. It serves the purpose of my use case.

There is no real technical support unless you have a problem with the servers or something gets lost. It is only when the service is down or there is some issue, there'll be a reply from them depending on your subscription.

The biggest advantage of the competitors over Apigee is cost. I would advise you to be careful due to its cost.

I would rate the solution a seven out of ten.

We use the Apigee platform for analytics, specifically for retail customers. We have used this solution to enhance the capability of some of our legacy systems. We have 300 users on this platform. 

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.

When it comes to the rate limit, we don't have a specific category for rate limits for a particular customer.

I have been using Apigee for more than seven years.

This is a stable solution. 

This is a scalable solution. 

The customer support for this solution is very good. We have received immediate responses from the technical team.

Neutral

The initial setup is not that straightforward. 

This solution offers annual licensing.

I would recommend this solution for API management and is one of the best on the market.

I would rate it an eight out of ten.

We have an API, which I developed using multiple languages and different applications. We have a lot of applications, and they have their individual APIs. We create a proxy for those applications in Apigee, and we expose those proxies to access those APIs.

Apigee didn't exactly improve our organization, but it fulfilled a requirement. There are a few tools in the marketplace, but we thought Apigee was the best for our use case.

Apigee is very easy to use, and you can code in any language, like JavaScript, Java, or any other language. That's really helpful. It's cloud-based, so there's no need for any installation.

Access restrictions can be improved. For example, you can't restrict access to some people or some groups. You have to give them total access. 

I've been using Apigee for about three months. 

Apigee is a stable solution.

I think it depends on your license, but it's highly scalable.

The initial setup is straightforward. We don't need a lot of training for the developers to start working, just a few days at most. It's very easy to start with, and the development effort is also a lot less.

For potential users of Apigee, I'd tell them there's a free version if they want to check it out and have a trial. 

On a scale from one to ten, I would give Apigee an eight.

API gateway tool and management of API solutions. This tool is extremely helpful for discovery, self-service of API solutions.

• Allowed us to convert from SOAP to RESTful patterns
• Improved security/throughput/management
• Throttling is also useful as well as management console tools to track performance.

• API gateway tool
• API developer tool
• Visualization tools to measure and manage the performance of APIs. 

I would like to see a long-term direction for the overall architecture (similar to what WSO2 has done), in that all three areas — pub/sub, events, and APIs — are treated as part of a continuum, instead of treating each as separate topics.

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.

We have a legacy and non-legacy databases that are both on-premises and off-premises.

Apigee is used to connect to any Google-based applications that are available. In addition, we are experimenting and testing in other environments.

I'm a CIO in consulting.

Apigee has proven to be one of the best of the breed. Others are attempting to innovate and are succeeding. So we don't know how innovations will be distributed, Azure, Amazon. Amazon, without a doubt, is lagging, but I've recently heard in the reinventing that they're working on a lot of API-related innovations. So you can't say that they'll be lagging behind as they are catching up.

We are experiencing some performance issues. Except in terms of performance, we can't find anything that needs improvement. This is something that we are trying to understand, and we will fix it soon.

I'm dealing with the Google and Apigee teams directly, so I can't go into specifics. But I believe we will be able to fix it sooner rather than later. It will be one of the most extensive implementations. And while we did not find any performance issues during testing and development, we did find some in production. We will be in a position to fix it soon.

Our environment consists of multiple clouds. The usual question is whether you have a single environment or a multi-cloud environment. What I've answered is applicable to all multi-cloud scenarios. I haven't specifically mentioned the Apigee-related issues. In CA Cloud, that is Google, I am working in a multi-cloud environment with settings and cross-components.

More platform integration, lower prices, and improved performance are all potential improvements; however, when it comes to standardization, all of them are converging on standardization, but, my criteria are more performance-based.

Either one is focusing on the API or on alternative exchanges that can improve performance. As a result, making a choice of API and the use cases that surround it, as well as how the implementation is done for scale, can be difficult at times. When we talk about the scale, there are definitely a lot of considerations that must be understood, and one of them is performance, which is our primary focus area.

If you are going to use APIs or even exchanges, you should be more concerned with performance.

I have been dealing with Apigee for quite a long time before it was part of Google. It's been approximately three years.

The stability of Apigee is one of the best of the breed.

The scalability of Apigee is good.

Apigee will be implemented in over 100 hospitals.

We have been working closely with technical support, and everything is fine.

We are also collaborating with Amazon teams and some of the standardization committees to help standardize APIs.

The integration of Apigee was straightforward.

It is not an installation, it's an integration. Apigee is integrated rather than installed.

The number of people needed to maintain this solution is determined by the project's, and the complexity of the situation.

Apigee is subject to licensing fees.

Typically, the customer is internal, so it is accounted for in the integrated budgets.

I have other affiliations. Like, I am associated with Cloud Security Alliance, which is a nonprofit organization. And I am also part of ISO SC 38. SC38 has a PWI, a preliminary work initiative on API management. And that goes as the advisory at a global level for a standardization. This topic is not only of my interest, but it is my passion.

I would recommend this solution based on the use case they have.

I would rate Apigee a nine out of ten.
