Apigee empowers effective API management while needing improvements in technical support
There is room for improvement with Apigee as OPDK private cloud enhancements have stopped, focusing only on Apigee hybrid and Apigee X, with Google no longer adding new features to OPDK private cloud. I am not currently utilizing AI in the private cloud with Apigee, but I'm unsure about hybrid and Apigee X.

Comprehensive API management has improved monetization and streamlined secure integrations
Axway AMPLIFY API Management could be improved in terms of user interface and navigation, as it could be more user-friendly. There are no helping resources such as question marks or help icons to easily identify elements, making it difficult for new users to learn the platform without some form of training. The configuration and policy setups also require multiple steps, which complicates the process, and it would be easier if some steps could be skipped. Better analytics and reporting capabilities should provide improved trackability for API performance and consumer behavior. Documentation for advanced use cases would help reduce the learning curve. However, when trying to integrate with third parties, it can be quite difficult and requires a lot of authentication and authorization, which is better for security but poses challenges for new users trying to connect with a third party to transfer data between platforms. Additionally, the customization options for the dashboard are very limited, which restricts my ability to customize the entire dashboard meaningfully.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The analytics feature is quite good."
"Implementation success would depend on having a good API architecture and design, using analytics, and following best practices of the lifecycle management provided by tool."
"Technical support is available twenty-four hours a day, and when it is a critical issue, they come online, take real-time access to our system, and support us in solving the problem."
"The most valuable feature of the current version of Apigee, such as Apigee Edge, is that the maintenance and scalability of the service are not our responsibility. As a SaaS platform, Google takes care of it, ensuring the system is stable. Another valuable feature is the ability to customize the platform extensively. We can add JavaScript functionality to cater to any use case that is not available out of the box."
"I have found the most valuable features to be tracing a proxy, and managing proxy versions and revisions via the Edge UI component."
"Overall, I am satisfied with this product and it is aligned to all of my needs."
"A special feature is configuring target servers, proxy config, and Cert related security, which regularizes incoming traffic from cloud users or external applications to internal applications in a secured manner."
"We have been using Apigee mostly for proxy FGIs. We also use its security features as well as traffic control features."
"The UI and UX are quite good and easy to understand."
"Axway AMPLIFY API Management is niche technology that people prefer because it has emerged beautifully and has very nice support and enterprise-level features which are not provided by cloud Azure or AWS."
"Its flexibility allows us to adapt to different scenarios."
"The most valuable features are security enforcement and throttling."
"Centralized API Platform allow us better reusability and monitoring"
"The most valuable feature of the solution is security."
"The most useful features in Axway AMPLIFY API Management, in my opinion, primarily involve the security aspect of the product, which provides us very good methods of securing the network."
"I would recommend the solution for other people who want to start using it."
 

Cons

"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."
"Drag and drop of features would be more beneficial, rather than manually working on the configuration and updates."
"More documentation on the Open Banking Standard will help."
"The company needs to better support webhooks. It used to support webhooks and their policies and they have since stopped. They had some issues in the product and they abandoned the support for them. It's not come back since."
"The entire user across all the layers should be singly authenticated through an external authentication system."
"The number one area this solution could be improved is by implementing support. Support is not a part of this solution."
"There is potential for improvement in specific domain integrations, such as standard integration capabilities needed for banking or retail sectors."
"The cost of the solution is quite high."
"The API Mocking tools need to be improved."
"I would improve performance because most of the time we have to send the API several times and then get the notification that the API is received."
"I have experienced issues with Axway AMPLIFY API Management's stability at times, particularly when there are a large number of API calls."
"Ultimately, from a very high-level overview, cloud platforms or Kong could have a slight advantage when compared to Axway AMPLIFY API Management."
"This solution does have some limitations regarding the deployment model."
"We sometimes have issues with some of the functions because they do not work very well."
"The installation process is a bit complex and it could be a lot simpler."
"It would be great if they have an asset report. It's hard to get support for that."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"You do not necessarily pay for the license. The cloud solution is based more on transactions. So, you pay for it either way."
"Apigee is slightly expensive, but again, it can depend on the type of usage. All things considered, it is slightly expensive."
"Its price is reasonable for the features they provide and the maturity of the platform."
"The cost of the licensing is based on the number of API calls that are made."
"The solution’s pricing could be more competitive."
"I would like to see the implementation of further options for billing because as it is now, the opportunities you have in terms of a package are limited."
"Apigee is subject to licensing fees."
"The cost increases as the usage increases."
"The solution is expensive. When you acquire a license you have full access to the solution, unlike other competitors such as Apigee X, where there are fragmented licenses. Some licenses only allow access to certain features while others allow access to more features. Upon procuring this solution's license, you will have full access to the solution, allowing you to experiment with all of its features."
