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

"I'm confident in the stability of the solution, as it is very reliable and has good performance."
"Anyone with basic knowledge can build an API."
"Apigee helps with API security and management."
"Deploying Apigee is straightforward and does not involve significant difficulties."
"The REST API allows for faster user engagement."
"The most valuable feature is monetization."
"The API moderation, administration monitoring, product architecture, infrastructure, and overall quality is good."
"The most valuable feature is the API gateway."
"The tool handles scalability pretty easily. Adding more instances of services and all are pretty intuitive to do using Traefik Enterprise."
"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."
"Traefik Enterprise is helping us tremendously because we do not need to manage multiple service domains."
"Traefik Enterprise has helped my e-commerce systems by improving routing stability, cost efficiency, reliability, and measurable performance time."
"Traefik Enterprise brought us an easier way because we faced a problem with Ingress Nginx, we needed another tool which could replace our current stack, we found Traefik easily and discovered how it is installed, and in most cases, it is easy to work with it."
 

Cons

"We found a glitch in Apigee, and we raised it with them: It's the response overlapping from the API with high traffic."
"The number one area this solution could be improved is by implementing support. Support is not a part of this solution."
"There is room for improvement in v-logging for each transaction."
"I would like them to add features, such as caching and mediation policies."
"The solution’s scalability could be improved."
"Apigee is demanding on the infrastructure so the setup cost is very high for an on-premises deployment."
"Technical support model for OPDK should be more exposed and mature in terms of providing support during installation, run, and debug of Apigee in production on OPDK mode."
"We are experiencing some performance issues."
"With Traefik, there are a lot of files that should be specified for Traefik. With Nginx, we have one file, which is Ingress Nginx, but with Traefik, there is more than one file you need to configure to work it as well."
"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

"Its price is reasonable for the features they provide and the maturity of the platform."
"As most of the customers say, the tool is a bit expensive."
"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."
"It is an expensive solution."
"Apigee is a pretty expensive solution."
"They need to work on the cost of the solution."
"The prices are comparable."
"It is not suited for small companies. It's expensive."
"I would say that Traefik Enterprise is cheaper than the other alternatives in the market."
