We performed a comparison between Apigee and webMethods API Gateway 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."It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"The tool is one of the earliest API management products and is good. It reduces the Time To Market aspects of products."
"Apigee has proven to be one of the best of the breed."
"We use it to build API proxies for securing targeted back-ends with an emphasis on Continuous Integration/Continuous Development (CI/CD)."
"The initial setup isn't too complex."
"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."
"The pricing is okay."
"The cloud version of the solution is very easy to set up."
"It's a good tool, and it has a stable messaging broker."
"In the API gateway, there is a new feature that allows us to filter logs within a payload. This has been a useful feature."
"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."
"This solution has given us a competitive advantage because we have better automation and insight."
"Within the new version, webMethods API Gateway gives us an end-to-end lifecycle from the creation of the API up into the development, deployment, and promotion into production/live. The current end-to-end lifecycle of the API gives us enough authority and governance of the API. We know what are currently live services, what is in the testing stage of development, and what version that has been commissioned. So, the full life cycle itself gives us full authority and governance of the API."
"There were no complexities involved in the setup phase...The product is able to meet my company's API protection needs."
"The initial setup for the on-prem solution is a little complex."
"The pricing for the product was a bit higher. I also found it challenging to manage sometimes."
"Since it is based on various open sourced projects, we might have to depend on the fixes provided by those components rather than Apigee directly fixing the issues."
"I have heard there maybe be some security issues that need to be addressed. If this is the situation I would encourage taking a look at the security matters."
"The solution is pretty expensive."
"There should be an integrated continuous integration and continuous deployment approach with Apigee. Currently, for development at a more integrated level, you have set it up yourself."
"Apigee on premise is quite complex and it is always moving faster."
"Could be more user friendly."
"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."
"Understanding the overall architecture is difficult."
"The price has room for improvement."
"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 high price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"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."
"It is an expensive solution and not very suitable for smaller businesses."
"They should develop clear visibility for the onboarding."
