Amandeep Pawar - PeerSpot reviewer
Engineer Technology at Iris Software Technologies Private Limited
Centralized API gateway has improved microservice security and provided deep traffic analytics
Apigee's API gateway could be improved. There are some limitations for high throughputs, which we can address. Overall, Apigee is a robust API management platform where we can configure centralized traffic management, but there are a few areas for improvement. The developer experience could be more intuitive, especially for configurations and complex API proxies and policies. Debugging production issues can sometimes be challenging, so more detailed diagnostic and easier-to-use troubleshooting tools would be valuable. The analytics dashboard could offer more customization and deeper insights without requiring additional configuration. Simplifying pricing and licensing would make Apigee more accessible for smaller organizations. I would like better support for cloud-native deployments, Kubernetes integrations, and AI-assisted policy recommendations. I would also like to see AI-assisted troubleshooting, more customizable analytics and developer portal, better enterprise documentation, easier policy configuration, and a simplified licensing model to enhance both the developer experience and day-to-day operations.

Real-time data has transformed our workflows and delivers faster, more reliable insights
I have multiple favorite features of Tinybird that stand out to me. The first is real-time data processing, which enables timely access to operational and analytical information. Second, we love the SQL-based transformation, which makes data manipulation familiar and accessible to our engineering teams. Third, API development simplifies the exposure of analytical queries as an API for application consumption. Fourth, the data pipelines help us organize ingestion and transformation workflows. Tinybird supports data-intensive applications and growing analytical workloads by reducing the engineering effort involved in building custom analytics features. I really appreciate the combination of SQL-based development and API delivery, which creates a straightforward workflow for the engineering teams.I feel that Tinybird's data governance and data security are on point and compliant with HIPAA and ISO certification guidelines, so there are no challenges on that part. The accuracy and reliability of Tinybird's AI outputs are really great. I have not seen any problems or challenges in the AI outputs; they are pretty good and on point, without any hallucinations so far.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Apigee is a great product with good feedback and recommendations from clients."
"Apigee makes proxy management very simple."
"Support is good."
"The customer service and support are cooperative and effective in providing insights and solutions during challenges."
"The tool is good, easy to use, and has good customer support."
"Apigee is relatively easy to use for developers."
"The most valuable feature of Apigee is its simplicity of deploying an API and restricting access, like rate limit, with the API."
"Apigee is an easy-to-use solution."
"I really appreciate the combination of SQL-based development and API delivery, which creates a straightforward workflow for the engineering teams."
"Tinybird is around two times faster."
 

Cons

"The number one area this solution could be improved is by implementing support. Support is not a part of this solution."
"Support of integration is what is most challenging in Apigee, as well as the complexity of the components."
"The setup and installation process could be improved with a container-based system."
"I think the portal could offer a better user experience. It's functional and does what it's supposed to but it's not user friendly."
"The company needs to better support webhooks. It used to support webhooks and their policies and they have since stopped. They had some issues in the product and they abandoned the support for them. It's not come back since."
"We need better performance monitoring."
"Drag and drop of features would be more beneficial, rather than manually working on the configuration and updates."
"For Apigee, I think licensing is on a monthly basis. The cost increases as the usage increases; it's higher than many competitors."
"Tinybird can be improved by simplifying it and having more AI features in the future. It can also be much faster because sometimes it can still be a bit laggy."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"In Latin America, Apigee is expensive. It's not for small businesses; it's more for big businesses."
"It is an expensive solution."
"It was fairly expensive. I don't know what the standard pricing is. I want to say that it's something like $80,000 for 800 million requests (approximately) a year."
"Apigee is subject to licensing fees."
"The product's pricing is fair. You need to pay additional costs for the support."
"You do not necessarily pay for the license. The cloud solution is based more on transactions. So, you pay for it either way."
"Apigee is a pretty expensive solution."
"Apigee has several different licenses you can obtain depending on your needs."
