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."We have been using Apigee mostly for proxy FGIs. We also use its security features as well as traffic control features."
"API/proxy lifecycle workflow for API providers is quite good and one of Apigee's strongest features."
"This is a front-layer gateway that helps to improve our overall performance."
"It is easy to deploy, configure, and monitor the APA."
"The initial setup isn't too complex."
"Its flexibility allows seamless management of different products, showcasing scalability to handle extensive solutions."
"It is scalable."
"It has all the features necessary to work in anything from a basic scenario to advanced applications."
"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."
"Very few outages or SLA issues."
"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."
"The control that we have and the security features are very valuable. With regard to API implementation or API orchestration, it works very well in the cloud because as soon as you create an API with one click, you can actually expose your APIs."
"This has provided a new stream of traffic and exposure of our catalogue beyond the normal web store offering."
"Conversion to RESTful and SOAP protocols and management console (can manage individually throttled settings to manage our service levels for customers)."
"We can completely manage the APIs at the org level and BU (business unit) level."
"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."
"Apigee lacks market presence."
"The ability to work across different management solutions in a plug and play fashion would make it easier for faster uptake."
"The initial setup for the on-prem solution is a little complex."
"The Apigee cloud admin UI could be more user-friendly by adding a few more features."
"I would recommend this solution to those who want to start using it, but it depends on the requirements and automation."
"Maintaining and deploying revisions need to be more defined."
"We are experiencing some performance issues."
"The technical support could be improved because their response time is slow."
"We observed delays under heavy load conditions, and without proper tuning, changes could take an extended period to filter and become effective."
"Policy management has been a bit of a concern."
"I'd like to see TIBCO integrate authentication and security features into Mashery."
"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."
"TIBCO Cloud API Management should improve its installation and make it easy."
"Monetization is not that great in API management. You need customization. Improvements are needed with sandbox local as well as with monetization. Those features are missing."
"The management console of API and customers' applications are not the most intuitive."
"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."
