"Apigee has proven to be one of the best of the breed."
"Apigee Analytics dashboard is useful to monitor transactions, error percentage, transaction latency, etc."
"Its customer service is good."
"We can automate our scenarios in a data driven format, which shows there is no rework on scripts. We only need to update the test data and run for a number of scenarios."
"If you want something that’s not provided out of the box, then you can write it yourself and integrate it with SOAtest."

"Technical support is helpful."
"Automatic testing is the most valuable feature."
"I would recommend this solution to those who want to start using it, but it depends on the requirements and automation."
"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."

"Tuning the tool takes time because it gives quite a long list of warnings."
"UI testing should be more in-depth."
