We performed a comparison between Apigee and TIBCO Cloud API Management based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two API Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Technical support has been decent."
"There is plenty of support documentation available."
"It nice and easy for the clients and those using the product to access the product's help resources."
"It's stable."
"The following features are most valuable: API Management, Analytics, Quota, and the Developer Portal."
"I like implementing different policies, for example, rate-limiting policy."
"The flexibility allows you to quickly run a cloud-native application architecture."
"Apigee provides good documentation."
"The reason why we selected the solution originally was because of its ability to have a gateway both on-premise and in the cloud. This is the most valuable aspect of the solution for us."
"This has provided a new stream of traffic and exposure of our catalogue beyond the normal web store offering."
"The solution is a good general API manager. They have a few propriety features but are offering items that are standard in the industry as well."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to have different packages based on the API keys. The same core system can have different packages based on different environments."
"When we did the product evaluation, we saw that TIBCO Mashery offers end-to-end API life cycle management. It provides all API features that are required for managing the complete life cycle. It includes the developer portal and tools for API monitorization. The out-of-box security features that TIBCO Mashery provides are enterprise-grade, which gives it an edge over other API products."
"We can completely manage the APIs at the org level and BU (business unit) level."
"Conversion to RESTful and SOAP protocols and management console (can manage individually throttled settings to manage our service levels for customers)."
"Very few outages or SLA issues."
"The pricing of the solution could be improved upon. We'd like it if it was less costly."
"In terms of the functionalities of a typical API gateway, Apigee is actually doing its job, but when it involves integration with backend applications, which some gateways have, I don't believe it has this functionality. You have to do Java or do some other low-level coding before you are able to do the integration. Apigee has a lot of components, which means that management will be a bit difficult. It probably has ten different components, and all of these components leverage open-source utilities, such as NGINX. When those open-source vendors upgrade their utility, Apigee usually lags behind because they need to do a lot of tests and any required development in their own platform. They need to do rigorous testing to make sure that nothing breaks. Because of that, it takes them a while to upgrade whatever components have been upgraded by the open-source vendor that owns the utility. We've been chasing them for a particular upgrade for well over a year and a half, and they have not done that upgrade. It is creating a security risk for us as an enterprise, but that upgrade has not been done, even though the open-source vendor, the owner of the utility, has upgraded it a long time ago."
"Apigee could do more to make users aware of what is available in the add-ons."
"Integration should be improved."
"The setup and installation process could be improved with a container-based system."
"Unlike WSA, Apigee does not have a partnership model, something which makes it a bit easier for companies such as ours to go with the former solution."
"It would be good if the Apigee management allowed us to be able to consolidate many operations into single one for the gateway functionality."
"Better functionality for validating inputs and outputs would be helpful."
"Policy management has been a bit of a concern."
"The security needs improvement, specifically, propagation of security to an API. Calling other APIs is something that is missing in the product and that makes us think about going to a competitor."
"The way agile life cycle is working needs improvement. I also want to see more support for open API standards. I want to see some improvement on the protocol transformation. That is quite missing now. These are the three main issues."
"TIBCO Cloud API Management should improve its installation and make it easy."
"They can fix some stability issues and probably make it more user-friendly so that not only an IT savvy person but an end-user can also easily navigate through this solution."
"I'd like to see TIBCO integrate authentication and security features into Mashery."
"It lacks many features at the API gateway compared to other solutions."
"We observed delays under heavy load conditions, and without proper tuning, changes could take an extended period to filter and become effective."
