Pros
"A simple platform that's easier to work with than IBM API Connect. Support for it is really good and gives it advantage over other providers.""Tracing in Apigee is a very good feature.""The most valuable feature of Apigee is its simplicity of deploying an API and restricting access, like rate limit, with the API.""I have found the most valuable features to be tracing a proxy, and managing proxy versions and revisions via the Edge UI component.""One of the best parts of this solution is the implementation as we did not need to use code or out-of-box policies. When it comes to the cloud-based architecture, there is a high level of reliability.""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.""It is scalable.""The pricing is okay."

Cons
"It would be good if the Apigee management allowed us to be able to consolidate many operations into single one for the gateway functionality.""The pricing of the solution could be improved upon. We'd like it if it was less costly.""One feature they have to invest time into is the developer portal they use.""We do not have control over the installation.""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.""I would like to see SOAP services and socket-based connectivity developed.""I would like them to add features, such as caching and mediation policies.""The pricing for the product was a bit higher. I also found it challenging to manage sometimes."

More Apigee Cons →

"webMethods.io Integration's installation is complex. It should also improve integration and connectors.""Rules engine processes and BPM processes should be improved.""I am not satisfied with the solution because it takes too much effort to migrate and add new information. The migration could be easier.""The solution's release management feature could be better.""The products, at the moment, are new and there should perhaps be support for the older version of the protocols.""The product's stability is an area of concern where improvements are required.""It is difficult to maintain."

    Overview

    Apigee is a platform for developing and managing APIs. Apigee offers an interface for your core services by wrapping them with a proxy layer which is then accessed by other developers. With Apigee, you can design and build APIs and then securely share their services and data without exposing any code.

    Because app developers make HTTP requests to an API proxy rather than directly to your services, your services are separated from the developers. All the developer needs to know is the URL of the API proxy endpoint, necessary query parameters, authorization credentials (if they exist), and the response data format.

    The API proxy isolates the app developer from your backend service. Therefore, you are free to change the service implementation if the public API remains consistent. By maintaining a consistent frontend API, existing client apps will continue to work regardless of changes on the backend.

    Key capabilities of the Apigee API management platform include:

    • Security: Protect APIs, messages, and backends with configurable policies such as OAuth, API key verification, XML/JSON threat protection, and access control.

    • API gateway: Secure and mediate the traffic between clients and backends, and between a company’s APIs and the developers who use the APIs.

    • Developer portal: Attract and engage application developers, enabling them to discover, explore, purchase, and test APIs and register to access and use the APIs.

    • API console: The console helps developers learn and work with APIs.

    • API lifecycle management: Manage the process of designing, developing, publishing, deploying, and versioning APIs.

    • Automated documentation: Automate the development of API documentation and software development kits.

    • Machine learning: Utilize machine learning and analytics to generate actionable insights and reports.
    • API monitoring: Apigee offers monitoring tools for API troubleshooting, security, and optimization.

    Reviews from Real Users:

    Apigee stands out among its competitors for a number of reasons. Several major ones are its rich developer portal, its advanced analytics, and its central monitoring system.

    Carlos R., a software architect at Caja Los Andes writes, “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.”

    An associate vice president at a tech services company notes, “The analytics function and the developer portal are the two valuable features of Apigee. The analytics part is very good, and the developer portal is quite rich in features. The authentication mechanisms are quite easily built into Apigee, which is something that most of the other products have also now started supporting.”
