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.

My main feedback is about the account management. I feel they should connect with clients more frequently, beyond just selling the product. They should actively seek feedback and tailor the approach to client needs. It shouldn't always be about pushing additional products. My main suggestion is focused solely on the account management approach, specifically fostering closer and more proactive client relationships. So, the pricing could also be bit improvement.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most important feature is the security capabilities and the way it integrates very quickly with other security providers. We have integrated it with Azure and it integrates quite seamlessly."
"If customers are trying to do long-term planning, and want to apply monetization on their APIs, then Apigee will be the best in this situation."
"Apigee has proven to be one of the best of the breed."
"The central monitoring feature is the most valuable. It also provides security for the APIs and high availability for our use cases. Apigee is the best product in the industry in comparison to other API management solutions. It helps in fast development, which is a top point. It also supports a lot of industry standards and has excellent documentation."
"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."
"Highly scalable from any initial topology to horizontal extension"
"The customer service and support are cooperative and effective in providing insights and solutions during challenges."
"It's easy to use and the security features are valuable."
"We've found it to be very stable."
"The initial setup isn't overly difficult."
"The security, the authentication, and the publishing qualities are great."
"The product has been very easy to use."
"It is very secure, easy to manage, and easy to configure. It is a web-based API. Moreover, we get direct support from Oracle guys."
"It has helped us to better organize, control and monitor the APIs across the solution landscape in the enterprise."
"The most valuable features for us are security and centralization."
 

Cons

"Technical support model for OPDK should be more exposed and mature in terms of providing support during installation, run, and debug of Apigee in production on OPDK mode."
"The solution tends to hide the limitations to keep selling the product."
"Drag and drop of features would be more beneficial, rather than manually working on the configuration and updates."
"Analytics is one of the areas needing enhancement, specifically more visibility and control over traffic to improve capacity management and high availability."
"Apigee has a lot of components, which means that management will be a bit difficult."
"Customer service is a five out of 10."
"We do not have control over the installation."
"The pricing for the product was a bit higher. I also found it challenging to manage sometimes."
"Although it is working great for us at the moment, we don't enjoy its user-interface. The UI is based on an old approach and needs an overhaul to modernize the UI and user interaction."
"Before gaining experience with the product, I found that it was not simple to use and things took longer to do than I had anticipated."
"From an administration and developer point of view, the user interface and user experience are not great."
"Oracle should actively seek feedback and tailor the approach to client needs. It shouldn't always be about pushing additional products."
"The cost of the solution is very high. It's not very cheap."
"Oracle needs to improve on access to technical documentation."
"We'd like it if they could reduce the cost without sacrificing on features."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The iicense is subscription-based."
"Its price is reasonable for the features they provide and the maturity of the platform."
"Apigee is subject to licensing fees."
"The cost of the licensing is based on the number of API calls that are made."
"They need to work on the cost of the solution."
"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."
"It is a bit on the expensive side. Its licensing cost is a bit high, and that's where we've seen people going back on their decisions."
"Pricing options need to be chosen on a case-by-case basis."
"Oracle is not a cheap solution and it is not affordable for all of our clients in Portugal."
