I suggest you look at the bigger picture. Do you have other integration requirements besides APIs? What about legacy systems, events, and file transfers? Are you looking for a distributed API solution or a cloud-based? What is your infrastructure/runtime strategy (bare metal/containers)?
If this is the case, you should take a look at Cloud Pack for Integration. It has different things I like. First, it has a bunch of capabilities (queue management, API gateway, and management, Kafka, high-speed file transfer, etc). Second, it runs in containers (specifically Red Hat OpenShift), so you can run it in different cloud providers or locally.

Both Google Apigee and IBM API Connect offer versatile and robust API management capabilities. If managing APIs for a SaaS stack and integrating with 3rd party applications is your primary objective Apigee might prove to be a better fit, while if you are looking at enabling digital capabilities for a complex set of applications, mainframes, and other traditional components is your motive, then API Connect might have a few tricks up its sleeve.
IBM API Connect and Apigee compete in the API management category. Apigee appears to have the upper hand due to its superiority in analytics and monetization features, as well as better user feedback on ease of policy creation.
Features: IBM API Connect offers a robust security framework with OAuth integration, seamless integration with IBM's ecosystem, and a comprehensive catalog for API management. It is highly regarded for supporting both external and internal API consumers efficiently....
