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."The solution is stable and reliable."
"Highly scalable from any initial topology to horizontal extension"
"Apigee has better scalability than WSA."
"The most valuable features are low-code play, quick packaging, and production."
"Apigee is very easy to use, and you can code in any language."
"Apigee makes proxy management very simple."
"I have found the most valuable features to be tracing a proxy, and managing proxy versions and revisions via the Edge UI component."
"If you have numerous applications and high traffic, Apigee is a strong choice for its excellent features and outstanding performance."
"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."
"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."
"This solution has given us a competitive advantage because we have better automation and insight."
"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 cloud version of the solution is very easy to set up."
"I like the solution's policies, transformation, mediation, and routing features."
"When it comes to the rate limit, we don't have a specific category for rate limits for a particular customer."
"The pricing of the solution could be improved upon. We'd like it if it was less costly."
"The entire user across all the layers should be singly authenticated through an external authentication system."
"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."
"Apigee on premise is quite complex and it is always moving faster."
"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."
"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."
"Apigee is not a solution compatible with public clouds, making it one of its shortcomings where improvements are required."
"With respect to the API gateway, the runtime component, the stability after a new release is something that can be improved."
"It is an expensive solution and not very suitable for smaller businesses."
"Understanding the overall architecture is difficult."
"The price has room for improvement."
"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."
"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."
"They should develop clear visibility for the onboarding."
"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."
