"The API testing features are valuable."
"The most valuable features of the solution are that it is easy to use and user-friendly."

"What my clients don't like is that the on-premises solution is not being treated and maintained as well as the cloud solution."
"Apigee is demanding on the infrastructure so the setup cost is very high for an on-premises deployment."
"When it comes to the rate limit, we don't have a specific category for rate limits for a particular customer."
"Apigee is more of an entry level solution that does basic things pretty well, but if you want to go more customizable, you want to really look for another solution."
"The user interface could be better. It could be easier to navigate and more user-friendly."
"We've encountered challenges in leveraging Connect functionality, prompting us to explore additional tools, such as Fergus, to address implementation and security issues."
"The solution is pretty expensive."
"We are experiencing issues with automation; the production in Apigee is quite time-consuming."
"I would like to see more integrations with other platforms."
"We'd like to see some better UI in newer versions."
"We'd like to see videos or user-friendly reference documentation to help us figure out the solution or troubleshoot issues on our own."
"I was not even aware that it was possible to automate tasks in Postman...Some features related to the automation of tasks need to be added to the solution."
"If they could implement auto-validations and assertions from SoapUI, that would be a very good feature."
"I have recently noticed that, for some reason, I am not able to import collections in JSON. It is weird because I was able to do it before. When you create a new collection and documentation, in tests, you usually have to click Save. If you don't click Save, your collections don't sync with other devices, which is something I don't like. It is not clear for the users in a shared workspace, and I usually forget to click Save and end up losing all the collections that I created. I create a lot of routes, and clicking Save all the time isn't efficient. Instead of clicking Save all the time, there should be an option to save everything in one go."
"To get this email reporting function, we have to integrate Postman with Newman. If the two are not integrated, we won't be getting all these things in one group."
"If we have a certain build on one machine it won't work with another build even if we are using the same URL. It would give us a connection refuse. So developing environment compatibility would make it better."
