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.

Single endpoint has simplified microservice routing and has improved traffic monitoring
I would appreciate improvements to the user interface because it currently appears generic. Please add more professional elements to the UI. I need this because when I open this site in public, everyone says it was built by a college student. I would love for the UI to be professional. For other things, you should orchestrate the features list on the home page and add other things. You should not mention everything. You should mention on the home page which feature I last used so I can go there directly without navigating through settings and multiple menus. If I use any feature repeatedly, it should appear on the home page.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We are achieving five thousand TPS (Throughput per second) on peak load, and managing thousands of proxies against K8s cluster services."
"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."
"I use it because it's simple, it automatically updates, and it hasn't given me any issues."
"The stability of the solution is good. There aren't issues surrounding bugs or glitches. We don't find that it crashes or freezes. It's pretty reliable."
"I would definitely recommend this product over any other products available in the market in this category."
"The initial setup was easy - there was an onboarding document with steps that we followed."
"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 tool is good, easy to use, and has good customer support."
"Traefik Enterprise is helping us tremendously because we do not need to manage multiple service domains."
"The tool handles scalability pretty easily. Adding more instances of services and all are pretty intuitive to do using Traefik Enterprise."
"Traefik Enterprise has helped my e-commerce systems by improving routing stability, cost efficiency, reliability, and measurable performance time."
"Traefik Enterprise has positively impacted my organization by making myself and my colleagues more efficient, allowing us to invest more time in other tasks because we are comfortable knowing how Traefik Enterprise operates and the automation we implemented with it."
 

Cons

"An area for improvement would be to provide more information while troubleshooting."
"We are experiencing issues with automation; the production in Apigee is quite time-consuming."
"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."
"The initial setup for the on-prem solution is a little complex, but the hybrid setup is very easy because detailed steps are provided."
"As it is now, the rotation of certificates is a manual task and is something that can be improved."
"I would like them to add features, such as caching and mediation policies."
"The solution can be improved by simplifying the account creation process."
"Apigee has a lot of components, which means that management will be a bit difficult."
"One should be able to just check things straight up from the UI and get to know what kind of issues are there in the solution, and even though such a feature is already there in the tool, there is more work to be done in it."
"I would appreciate improvements to the user interface because it currently appears generic."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 slightly expensive, but again, it can depend on the type of usage. All things considered, it is slightly expensive."
"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."
"The current version of Apigee is not too expensive, but we are currently in talks with Google to understand their roadmap for Apigee X. However, we anticipate that with the introduction of Apigee X, the pricing will likely increase."
"Apigee is a pretty expensive solution."
"Compared to other products, Apigee had higher pricing."
"Apigee is expensive and not cost-effective. On a scale of one to ten, I would rate it an eight for the high cost. The changes individuals need to make on their side are costly."
"The solution is a bit expensive. It's not for organizations in the early stages of their lifecycle but is more suited for mid- to enterprise-level platforms. Pricing varies by deployment model, with SaaS being the cheapest, costing around $100,000 per year for a subscription. For hybrid and on-prem deployments, the price increases. The on-prem model includes a license and additional installation and configuration professional service costs, which can be at least $40,000 to $60,000 for the initial setup. While it's not cheap, it offers long-term value and can be worthwhile."
"I would say that Traefik Enterprise is cheaper than the other alternatives in the market."
