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."The flexibility allows you to quickly run a cloud-native application architecture."
"The capabilities are very powerful."
"The most valuable feature is monetization."
"The ability to convert from language to language using a single tool."
"API/proxy lifecycle workflow for API providers is quite good and one of Apigee's strongest features."
"They capture the details of all the incoming and outgoing traffic of your APIs. Based on 300+ default dimensions you can generate beautiful and insightful reports on usage and consumption of APIs."
"Apigee is relatively easy to use for developers."
"It accelerates development and deployment processes."
"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."
"It is easy to work with ."
"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 most valuable aspect of Mashery is its stability."
"The solution is a good general API manager. They have a few propriety features but are offering items that are standard in the industry as well."
"Very few outages or SLA issues."
"This has provided a new stream of traffic and exposure of our catalogue beyond the normal web store offering."
"Role-based access management needs to be improved. It would also be nice if the solution could be integrated with code versioning systems like Git/Bitbucket."
"The pricing for the product was a bit higher. I also found it challenging to manage sometimes."
"Apigee could improve by integrating with more identity providers and offering a default authentication module."
"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."
"In terms of the functionalities of a typical API gateway, Apigee is actually doing its job, but when it involves integration with backend applications, which some gateways have, I don't believe it has this functionality. You have to do Java or do some other low-level coding before you are able to do the integration. Apigee has a lot of components, which means that management will be a bit difficult. It probably has ten different components, and all of these components leverage open-source utilities, such as NGINX. When those open-source vendors upgrade their utility, Apigee usually lags behind because they need to do a lot of tests and any required development in their own platform. They need to do rigorous testing to make sure that nothing breaks. Because of that, it takes them a while to upgrade whatever components have been upgraded by the open-source vendor that owns the utility. We've been chasing them for a particular upgrade for well over a year and a half, and they have not done that upgrade. It is creating a security risk for us as an enterprise, but that upgrade has not been done, even though the open-source vendor, the owner of the utility, has upgraded it a long time ago."
"Technical support model for OPDK should be more exposed and mature in terms of providing support during installation, run, and debug of Apigee in production on OPDK mode."
"iPaaS is something that we would like to see. For example, MuleSoft is kind of an integrated platform as a service (iPaaS), and it provides a lot of out-of-the-box connectors and other such things. This is where Apigee lacks. I'm not sure if that's the roadmap for Apigee, but any improvements on those lines would be helpful where things become easier to implement."
"It needs predictive analysis of consumption."
"We observed delays under heavy load conditions, and without proper tuning, changes could take an extended period to filter and become effective."
"It lacks many features at the API gateway compared to other solutions."
"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."
"They can fix some stability issues and probably make it more user-friendly so that not only an IT savvy person but an end-user can also easily navigate through this solution."
"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."
"I'd like to see TIBCO integrate authentication and security features into Mashery."
"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."
