Apigee empowers effective API management while needing improvements in technical support
There is room for improvement with Apigee as OPDK private cloud enhancements have stopped, focusing only on Apigee hybrid and Apigee X, with Google no longer adding new features to OPDK private cloud. I am not currently utilizing AI in the private cloud with Apigee, but I'm unsure about hybrid and Apigee X.

Potential areas of improvement or lack of functions in Axway AMPLIFY API Management is a challenging question because even after working for almost six years, I have not been able to touch everything this tool offers. This tool is very comprehensive and useful. However, from my opinion, when there are different dashboards on which the API platform shows monitoring, I expect Axway AMPLIFY API Management to be more visible in terms of showing pre-historic data. In other words, if there is a very large volume or very large number of transactions going on live in production, sometimes it purges the previous data very quickly, leaving only one or two hours of data. When there is very low volume, it can sustain data up to five days. The visibility of the previous historic database is a feature that could be improved. Different tools can be used to empower this capability, such as Splunk or the ELK stack, which includes Elastic. There are different features that could be used, but Axway as an organization would likely implement their specific products. I am simply providing a very basic opinion anonymously and do not want to sound like I am against this organization.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Overall, I am satisfied with this product and it is aligned to all of my needs."
"The initial setup was easy - there was an onboarding document with steps that we followed."
"Apigee is an easy-to-use solution."
"One of the best parts of this solution is the implementation as we did not need to use code or out-of-box policies."
"We use it to build API proxies for securing targeted back-ends with an emphasis on Continuous Integration/Continuous Development (CI/CD)."
"Apigee is very easy to use, and you can code in any language."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"Easy interface to monetize and deliver APIs with very easy integration for third-party development environments/delivery."
"We like the portal for documentation a lot."
"For what we do, the API portal capability is the most valuable feature."
"I would recommend the solution for other people who want to start using it."
"The UI and UX are quite good and easy to understand."
"The most valuable features are security enforcement and throttling."
"We like the portal for documentation a lot."
"In general, API governance provides a better experience for providers."
"It provides very strong security functionality to protect information in an easier way."
 

Cons

"For large transactions, the commercial model is proving to be a constraint to some of our customers."
"The solution can be improved by simplifying the account creation process."
"As it is now, the rotation of certificates is a manual task and is something that can be improved."
"One feature they have to invest time into is the developer portal they use."
"The ability to work across different management solutions in a plug and play fashion would make it easier for faster uptake."
"We do not have control over the installation."
"There is room for improvement in v-logging for each transaction. Additionally, Apigee only allows validation of transactions up to a four-hour period, which requires manual hovering over the date and time."
"I see some lagging in regards to integration capacity"
"Axway's queuing messages could be enhanced."
"The portal still has room for improvement."
"A significant area of improvement for Axway AMPLIFY API Management is the Amplify Central portal, which should help expose APIs on a webpage for potential customers."
"The installation process is a bit complex and it could be a lot simpler."
"I think that the program's team management capabilities can be better as far as working in groups."
"It would be great if they have an asset report. It's hard to get support for that."
"Ultimately, from a very high-level overview, cloud platforms or Kong could have a slight advantage when compared to Axway AMPLIFY API Management."
"The installation process is a bit complex and it could be a lot simpler."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost increases as the usage increases."
"It is not suited for small companies. It's expensive."
"We have a contract for three years. I don't know the cost."
"The current version of Apigee is not too expensive, but we are currently in talks with Google to understand their roadmap for Apigee X. However, we anticipate that with the introduction of Apigee X, the pricing will likely increase."
"Pricing options need to be chosen on a case-by-case basis."
"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 prices are comparable."
"Apigee is a pretty expensive solution."
"The solution is expensive. When you acquire a license you have full access to the solution, unlike other competitors such as Apigee X, where there are fragmented licenses. Some licenses only allow access to certain features while others allow access to more features. Upon procuring this solution's license, you will have full access to the solution, allowing you to experiment with all of its features."
