Apigee is a platform for API management.
Apigee is a pioneer in the industry and has good features and functionalities. It is a good tool for API management and it has more advancements than all other tools in the market in certain areas.
It has many features, such as flexibility, coding writing, and JavaScripting.
I have been using Apigee for approximately four years.
Apigee is stable. In the entire API management world, I feel this is one of the best tools for pure API management. If there are any orchestrations or business processes to be involved, then Mulesoft or Boomi can be used, but comparatively, all the security and governance policies that are available on the dashboards and the reports make Apigee the best tool for pure API management.
The installation is good. I won't say it is complex, but it has many configurations and types of policies that are available. However, it can be easily done.
Apigee is slightly expensive, but again, it can depend on the type of usage. All things considered, it is slightly expensive.
AWS is winning in the cost category, they have many packages and services but when using all these services together I am not sure what the cost would be.
I have evaluated Mulesoft and Boomi. I have found these two solutions are being used secondarily to Apigee. Additionally, AWS and Azure's Gateways are becoming popular in the market. From the cost perspective, in the two years, AWS gateway is widely being used. These four solutions are widely being used in the market but Apigee is much far ahead than all other tools.
AWS and Apigee have similar features. I don't see any significant change in the difference at the moment. The choice is more about convenience and cost.
I rate Apigee an eight out of ten.
