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.

A tool that ensures that its users see a return on investment from its use
The UI and the fact that the product is not easy to use are areas with shortcomings where improvements are required. Documentation isn't available for everything in the solution, so you may have to figure out a lot of things by yourself. Pipedream is easy to use for someone with tech skills or someone new who is trying to learn how to code. Though it is user-friendly for people with tech skills, it is not at all user-friendly for people who do not have any tech skills. The user interface of Pipedream is very simple compared to the user interfaces of some other products like monday.com or Asana. Asana and monday.com have visually appealing user interfaces. The user interface of Pipedream is not visually appealing at all. The aforementioned details need to be considered for improvement in the solution. I just wish there was a little bit more documentation on how everything worked when it came to deployment since I was a fairly new employee at the company at that time. Sometimes, the workflow wouldn't work fine in Pipedream, and I had to check it myself for errors. Finding the errors in Pipedream is hard to find. I think it would be good if Pipedream had the ability to send an email to notify you that there is an error with the code instead of having to go back in and then look every day or every hour if there was an error in the code.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Anyone with basic knowledge can build an API."
"Apigee is the heart of the architectural design for building an integration layer in our digital transformation projects. Organizations need an integration layer to connect their legacy backend services with the external world, such as Fintechs. This layer must be secure, not just a simple pass-through or gateway."
"It's stable."
"It's good for development, we like that the solution offers easy integration, it has a good UI and is user-friendly, the solution scales well, and it's stable."
"Support is good."
"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 stability of the solution is good, there aren't issues surrounding bugs or glitches, we don't find that it crashes or freezes, and it's pretty reliable."
"Apigee is the best product in the industry in comparison to other API management solutions."
"The most valuable features of Pipedream are the prebuilt integrations that require no coding."
"The solution enables users to integrate several things."
"The most valuable feature of Pipedream is the ability to use Python code in general."
"It is a developer-friendly platform that allows writing custom scripts."
 

Cons

"The solution’s scalability could be improved."
"I am still struggling to understand how we can use Apigee as a hybrid system. The pricing of this solution could also be improved as there are multiple new products coming onto the market at competitive price points."
"Maintaining and deploying revisions need to be more defined."
"There is potential for improvement in specific domain integrations, such as standard integration capabilities needed for banking or retail sectors."
"What my clients don't like is that the on-premises solution is not being treated and maintained as well as the cloud solution."
"I'd like this solution to improve on releasing new features; I'd like it to be more frequent."
"On a number of occasions we've needed some immediate help or a quick turnaround, but the technical support response was quite slow."
"Apigee is quite pricey. The price is a thorny issue as there is little room for negotiation."
"They should give more information about trigger failure."
"We faced some server timeouts."
"There is a potential area for improvement in handling loop operations over items."
"Documentation isn't available for everything in the solution, so you may have to figure out a lot of things by yourself."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Apigee has several different licenses you can obtain depending on your needs."
"The iicense is subscription-based."
"The prices are comparable."
"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 tool is extremely expensive."
"The price of Apigee could be less expensive. The solution can be purchased monthly or annually."
"Pricing options need to be chosen on a case-by-case basis."
"It is not suited for small companies. It's expensive."
"Price-wise, for a company, it is a nice product, but for personal use, it is not very beneficial."
"The product price is fair and inexpensive than one of the competitors."
