"The pricing is okay."
"We use it to build API proxies for securing targeted back-ends with an emphasis on Continuous Integration/Continuous Development (CI/CD)."
"It is easy to set up. It is on Google Platform, and there are multiple deployment models they support, which is great."
"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."
"The flexibility allows you to quickly run a cloud-native application architecture."
"The security provided by the solution is excellent."
"There is plenty of support documentation available."
"I rate Katalon Studio's scalability a four out of five."

"The product provides ease of automation for the cloud."
"The most valuable feature is that the browser and the API testing is available in a single tool, and I don't have to look at other options."
"It has been good so far for API testing on Mac. It is not that hard to learn and use. There is so much support out there, so if anyone wants to start using it, there is enough help."
"The basic framework and project organization is very good."
"We can write code in Java and it is easy to link to other JARs that we find on the internet, which is very handy."
"This solution is very user-friendly to learn and implement, and less technical knowledge is required to handle automation."
"The solution tends to hide the limitations to keep selling the product."
"We are experiencing some performance issues."
"Proxy versioning seems a bit confusing/buried in the publishing experience, especially for the URI-based versioning approach."
"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."
"Google isn't enthusiastic about supporting older versions. Google is now trying to move all of its clients to X within the cloud."
"They need to work on the cost of the solution."
"It is an expensive solution."
"They have an external developer platform that was a little bit painful."
"The solution can be further improved with better loading time."
"There is not much support offered for the free version, which is something that could be improved."
"The integration process with Jira should be enhanced and facilitated."

"What it lacks is the Selenium Grid capabilities."
"It should start working on Silverlight automation."
"My recently-updated Katalon studio version hangs a lot and is not a stable version."
"One aspect that can be improved is testing for desktop applications. I would like to see them support more technologies in this area."
