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.

Integration work has streamlined cross-application automation and supports faster development
Regarding how SAP Integration Suite can be improved, we have something called pre-packaged content, such as standard flows or inbuilt adapters. If we had something called Groovy script for most of the scenarios, it would be very useful. We have some standard scripts for the basic scenarios, such as payload logging, that are frequently usable. For such things, if we had the pre-built scripts, it would be very easy for the developers to reuse them in very common scenarios or requirements and make the work very fast. That would be really helpful for the developers. Regarding additional features for SAP Integration Suite, I think it is good as of now and nothing much needs to be improved because we can see all the expected features. We have the open connectors, cloud connectors, API management, and everything is there. We have the Integration Advisor, and I feel it is good. The only thing I was expecting is pre-built scripts, Groovy scripts, which would be helpful for the developers to speed up the work. Since coding is not manual and we are getting it from ChatGPT and it is all AI, if that is integrated into the tool, it would be very nice and easy for the developers.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I think the most valuable features are the security features. Of course, the user access control is the same as the security. The other very important issue is the sandboxing capability of Apigee."
"The drag-and-drop and click-through functionalities, alongside minimal code requirements, make Apigee valuable. It is intuitive and user-friendly."
"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."
"It is easy to deploy, configure, and monitor the APA."
"The tool is one of the earliest API management products and is good. It reduces the Time To Market aspects of products."
"The most valuable feature is monetization."
"Apigee is perfect; they provide good support, people from Google are very cooperative as well, they listen for feedback on features, and I like this because it is already making our implementation easy."
"Anyone with basic knowledge can build an API."
"The SAP Integration Suite can work with different authentication methods. It supports physical authentication, certificate-based integration, and mTLS authentication. This allows customers to choose the best integration approach based on their policies and procedures. Additionally, the suite offers both push and data integration capabilities."
"The solution is easy to use."
"The features in SAP Integration Suite, such as the API management and the feasibility to connect with the on-premise systems using the Cloud Connector configuration in BTP Cockpit, are very flexible to work with."
"SAP Integration Suite's event-driven architecture has helped automate processes by providing better scalability, performance, and organization compared to point-to-point methods."
"The most beneficial feature of SAP Integration Suite for our operation is its capability to enable API-based cloud applications to integrate seamlessly with SAP S/4HANA."
"The most beneficial feature for our clients is the easy access to their information, achieved effortlessly through integration."
"The technical support services are good."
 

Cons

"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."
"Apigee has a lot of components, which means that management will be a bit difficult."
"We found a glitch in Apigee, and we raised it with them: It's the response overlapping from the API with high traffic."
"Drag and drop of features would be more beneficial, rather than manually working on the configuration and updates."
"Could be more user friendly."
"The definition of the APIs should improve because you can't easily validate the inputs and outputs."
"I would like them to add features, such as caching and mediation policies."
"It needs predictive analysis of consumption."
"I believe there are areas where SAP Integration Suite could be improved, such as enhancing message transformation capabilities and simplifying conditional routing features compared to the on-premise tool SAP PO (Process Orchestration)."
"The product's UI could be faster."
"The instances are costly."
"They could provide graphical data for over-viewing metrics such as payments, receipts, creditors, and refunds."
"I have faced a few issues with the CPI Helper, which is an extension I was using to enable the trace and check the step-by-step flow and simulation inputs and outputs."
"The setup process for the SAP integration Suite is not straightforward. It involves some technical aspects and can be complex."
"In PIPO, there were complex and effective tools to measure performance and how messages were processed, but Integration Suite still does not have solid reports that are useful for evaluating and understanding possible bottlenecks."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Apigee is a pretty expensive solution."
"Apigee is subject to licensing fees."
"In Latin America, Apigee is expensive. It's not for small businesses; it's more for big businesses."
"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."
"My clients pay for a license."
"It is more expensive when you compare to open-source products or other vendors."
"Its price is reasonable for the features they provide and the maturity of the platform."
"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."
"I rate its pricing a five out of ten."
"It is inexpensive for smaller businesses and expensive for larger businesses."
"I'm not well-versed in the details of pricing and standard licensing for SAP Integration Suite as I primarily focus on technical aspects. As far as I know, clients can choose between different levels of offerings based on their messaging frequency and business requirements, with premium levels offering more features and customization options."
