More Pipedream Pros →

"There were no complexities involved in the setup phase...The product is able to meet my company's API protection needs.""The most valuable aspect of this solution for me has been the configuration-based UI. Once you get the hang of it, it enables you to easily develop an API. In addition, it has many in-built policies that are quite handy.""This solution has given us a competitive advantage because we have better automation and insight.""The cloud version of the solution is very easy to set up.""I like the solution's policies, transformation, mediation, and routing features.""What I like the most about the solution is that it comes with ready-made tools like handling security tokens and OAuth.""The developer portal is a valuable feature.""In the API gateway, there is a new feature that allows us to filter logs within a payload.

Cons
"Documentation isn't available for everything in the solution, so you may have to figure out a lot of things by yourself.""They should give more information about trigger failure.""There is a potential area for improvement in handling loop operations over items.""We faced some server timeouts."

More Pipedream Cons →

"In terms of improvements, maybe on the API monetization side, having users able to create separate consumption plans and throttle all those consumption plans towards the run time could be better.""The configuring of the JWT token would be improved as it is a confusing process. We require more information on this part of the solution.""There are things that could be improved with the webMethods API gateway. One thing is that it's too attached to the integration service and we'd like it to be a little bit more independent. We would like for them to separate operations so that it doesn't rely on the bulky integration server and so that it can be used everywhere.""With performance, there is room for improvement in regards to if we would like to put another extra layer of security on it, such as SSL. This is affecting their performance quite significantly. They need to improve the process of managing the SSL and other things inside their solutions, so there will not be quite such a significant impact to the performance.""With respect to the API gateway, the runtime component, the stability after a new release is something that can be improved.""The price has room for improvement.""It is an expensive solution and not very suitable for smaller businesses.""Understanding the overall architecture is difficult."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "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."
  • More Pipedream Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "I do see a lack of capabilities inside of the monetization area for them. They have a cloud infrastructure that is pay per use type of a thing. If you already use 1,000 transactions per se, then you can be charged and billed. I see room for improvement there for their side on that particular capability of the monetization."
  • "The price is high and I give it a five out of ten."
  • "The product is very expensive."
  • "This is not a cheap solution but, compared to other products such as those offered by IBM, the pricing is similar."
  • "It is an expensive tool. I rate the product price a nine out of ten, where ten means it is very expensive."

    Overview

    Pipedream is an innovative workflow automation platform designed to streamline and simplify complex data integrations and workflows. Its primary use case is to connect various applications, services, and APIs, enabling seamless data transfer and automation across different systems.

    The most valuable functionality of Pipedream is its ability to create and manage workflows using a visual interface. Users can easily build and customize workflows by connecting different actions and triggers, without the need for coding. Pipedream supports a wide range of triggers and actions, allowing users to automate tasks such as data extraction, transformation, and loading, as well as event-driven actions like sending notifications or updating databases.

    Pipedream helps organizations by reducing manual effort and improving efficiency. It enables teams to automate repetitive tasks, freeing up valuable time and resources. With its extensive library of pre-built integrations and connectors, Pipedream simplifies the process of connecting and integrating various systems, eliminating the need for custom development.

    Once your APIs are “out there,” hackers have a “way in” to your business. Lock that door! Protect your data, applications—even your company’s reputation—with robust API runtime security. The right API gateway will keep out wrong-doers and welcome only authorized consumers.

    With cybercrime costs surging to $2 trillion by 2019, look for the most impermeable API gateway you can find. You’ll need basic security features, like authentication, authorization, digital encryption and digital signatures. You’ll get that with Software AG’s end-to-end API management solution—and another lock on top.

    Our webMethods API Gateway uses reverse invoke, or inside-out, service invocations. This protective technique reduces the need to open holes in your firewall. It’s one more way we help you lock down your APIs—and protect your business from malicious attacks.
