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 provides out-of-the-box policies, so it is ready to use with minimal configuration to those policies. You can govern your API and manage the life cycle of the API completely with the Apigee tool."
"A very functional solution."
"Apigee has better scalability than WSA."
"It's easy to use and the security features are valuable."
"The most valuable features are scalability and technical support."
"Apigee provides good documentation."
"The opportunity for customization is really vast and it is a really good feature built into the product."
"It is easy to set up. It is on Google Platform, and there are multiple deployment models they support, which is great."
"I like the solution's policies, transformation, mediation, and routing features."
"In the API gateway, there is a new feature that allows us to filter logs within a payload. This has been a useful feature."
"This solution has given us a competitive advantage because we have better automation and insight."
"The cloud version of the solution is very easy to set up."
"It's a good tool, and it has a stable messaging broker."
"What I like the most about the solution is that it comes with ready-made tools like handling security tokens and OAuth."
"The developer portal is a valuable feature."
"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."
"The solution could add even more functionalities."
"I'd like this solution to improve on releasing new features; I'd like it to be more frequent."
"The technical support could be improved because their response time is slow."
"I would like them to add features, such as caching and mediation policies."
"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 caching capabilities are somewhat limited. This is more on the developer-oriented capabilities."
"They should improve the monitoring tools for on-premises environments."
"When there is an update on a new version or an automatic update, you have to be present and double-check that the update is reflected in the environment with no issues."
"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."
"With respect to the API gateway, the runtime component, the stability after a new release is something that can be improved."
"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."
"The price has room for improvement."
"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."
"It is an expensive solution and not very suitable for smaller businesses."
"Understanding the overall architecture is difficult."
"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."
