We performed a comparison between Apigee and Tyk 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."The initial setup was easy - there was an onboarding document with steps that we followed."
"API/proxy lifecycle workflow for API providers is quite good and one of Apigee's strongest features."
"The usability is one of the best aspects of the product."
"It has a very efficient logging system which is easy to maintain."
"I have not encountered instability with the product."
"Apigee has better scalability than WSA."
"Easy interface to monetize and deliver APIs with very easy integration for third-party development environments/delivery."
"If you have numerous applications and high traffic, Apigee is a strong choice for its excellent features and outstanding performance."
"You can set up workflows and write limited pieces of logic."
"The scalability is very good. That was a key factor in the selection, like how it could be pushed to high volume and scalability, which seemed to be very good."
"The feature I find most valuable is that this solution allows us to manage our security."
"The most valuable feature is the load balancing with the circuit-breaker function."
"The portal for developers that this solution provides has great functionality."
"It is a good product for API management."
"The Apigee cloud admin UI could be more user-friendly by adding a few more features."
"Integration should be improved."
"Proxy versioning seems a bit confusing/buried in the publishing experience, especially for the URI-based versioning approach."
"It is an expensive solution."
"Apigee's user interface could be more straightforward and have more options. Also, it would be nice if it were ready to work out of the box without so much configuration."
"What my clients don't like is that the on-premises solution is not being treated and maintained as well as the cloud solution."
"Compared to its competitors, such as Axway AMPLIFY API Management and Layer7 API Management, Apigee could benefit from having more policies to cater to various use cases. This would reduce the need for writing custom JavaScripts. If more features come straight out of the box, we can leverage them instead of writing custom code to achieve the same functionality."
"I don't have any notes for improvement."
"We ran it for a while, but then we decided to move away from Tyk, because Tyk's cloud version, the SaaS version, has a significant limitation of limited flexibility, so you can't program very much."
"I would like to see some additional features like having some extensions for .NET core because we use it for our back-end language."
"We would like a better tool for generating documentation for the APIs to be developed."
"It is a young product and does not have the kind of brand recognition that would make it a more popular solution with our clients."
"In terms of our usage, the main area of concern is that they tend to build enhancements slightly ahead of the considerations for what those enhancements and extensions are. So it could be slightly better communication with the customer base that would be my main issue with them."
"Sometimes when new features are released, they are not immediately stable."
