Find out in this report how the two API Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It's a good return on my investment."
"Apigee has better scalability than WSA."
"The following features are most valuable: API Management, Analytics, Quota, and the Developer Portal."
"A simple platform that's easier to work with than IBM API Connect. Support for it is really good and gives it advantage over other providers."
"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."
"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."
"The most valuable features are low-code play, quick packaging, and production."
"Apigee gives you plenty of opportunities to set up your workspace depending on how you want to manage your APIs."
"The most preferable aspect would be the elimination of the command, which was a significant improvement. In the past, it was a challenge, but now we can proceed smoothly with the implementation of our policies and everything is managed through JCP. It's still among the positive aspects, and it's a valuable feature."
"It is a stable solution."
"Cloud Pak for Integration is definitely scalable. That is the most important criteria."
"The most valuable aspect of the Cloud Pak, in general, is the flexibility that you have to use the product."
"Apigee is demanding on the infrastructure so the setup cost is very high for an on-premises deployment."
"They have an external developer platform that was a little bit painful."
"I would like to see the support improved. I think the time frame should be shorter for responses when it comes to technical support. This is not the ideal situation you want to be in when you need support."
"The analytical aspect of it could be better. I think it is fair if Apigee lets you configure some of the metrics of the key details you want to monitor in terms of analytics."
"The cost of the solution is quite high."
"The caching capabilities are somewhat limited. This is more on the developer-oriented capabilities."
"When it comes to the rate limit, we don't have a specific category for rate limits for a particular customer."
"I would like to see better integration and some architectural improvements in future releases of the solution."
"Setting up Cloud Pak for Integration is relatively complex. It's not as easy because it has not yet been fully integrated. You still have some products that are still not containerized, so you still have to run them on a dedicated VM."
"Its queuing and messaging features need improvement."
"The pricing can be improved."
"The initial setup is not easy."
