We performed a comparison between Apigee and webMethods API Gateway 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."Apigee is a very lightweight solution."
"I have not encountered instability with the product."
"I think the most valuable features are the security features. Of course, the user access control is the same as the security. The other very important issue is the sandboxing capability of Apigee."
"The central monitoring feature is the most valuable. It also provides security for the APIs and high availability for our use cases. Apigee is the best product in the industry in comparison to other API management solutions. It helps in fast development, which is a top point. It also supports a lot of industry standards and has excellent documentation."
"Its flexibility allows seamless management of different products, showcasing scalability to handle extensive solutions."
"Apigee is very easy to use, and you can code in any language."
"I use it because it's simple, it automatically updates, and It hasn't given me any issues."
"The use case which I have installed serves the intended purpose."
"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."
"It's a good tool, and it has a stable messaging broker."
"Within the new version, webMethods API Gateway gives us an end-to-end lifecycle from the creation of the API up into the development, deployment, and promotion into production/live. The current end-to-end lifecycle of the API gives us enough authority and governance of the API. We know what are currently live services, what is in the testing stage of development, and what version that has been commissioned. So, the full life cycle itself gives us full authority and governance of the API."
"In the API gateway, there is a new feature that allows us to filter logs within a payload. This has been a useful feature."
"I like the solution's policies, transformation, mediation, and routing features."
"The cloud version of the solution is very easy to set up."
"What I like the most about the solution is that it comes with ready-made tools like handling security tokens and OAuth."
"There were no complexities involved in the setup phase...The product is able to meet my company's API protection needs."
"Apigee could do more to make users aware of what is available in the add-ons."
"We are experiencing some performance issues."
"The cost of the solution is quite high."
"As it is now, the rotation of certificates is a manual task and is something that can be improved."
"Google isn't enthusiastic about supporting older versions. Google is now trying to move all of its clients to X within the cloud."
"What my clients don't like is that the on-premises solution is not being treated and maintained as well as the cloud solution."
"The integration could be improved within the solution. There is a need to pay more attention to this."
"The analytical aspect of it could be better. I think it is fair if Apigee lets you configure some of the metrics of the key details you want to monitor in terms of analytics."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Understanding the overall architecture is difficult."
"With respect to the API gateway, the runtime component, the stability after a new release is something that can be improved."
"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."
"The high price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"It is an expensive solution and not very suitable for smaller businesses."
