Featured Reviews

ShawkyFoda  - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides high visibility and control with good traffic monitoring
Analytics is one of the areas needing enhancement, specifically more visibility and control over traffic to improve capacity management and high availability. The replication process between Master and Slave for disaster recovery takes too long. Dependencies on analytics impact the performance of the user interface, which should be separate. The complex setup process on-premises, especially with multi-node installations, could also be improved. Additional control in product declarations, based on operations like POST and GET, is needed.
ShashankRavikumar - PeerSpot reviewer
Enables real-time insights and secure API management for efficient customer interactions
The main improvement needed is the ability to have different base URLs for HTTP and HTTPS for different clients. Currently, I can have only one base URL for one atom. It would help if I could set up a proxy with different URLs within Boomi as a simple configuration instead of needing external applications. Also, Boomi can integrate AI to manage backend loads and provide insights into runtime engine consumption.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Apigee is an easy-to-use solution."
"I simply like how you can personalize your products and put them into product categories. That's what I like the most."
"It has a very efficient logging system which is easy to maintain."
"Apigee is a great product with good feedback and recommendations from clients."
"The central monitoring feature is the most valuable. It also provides security for the APIs and high availability for our use cases. Apigee is the best product in the industry in comparison to other API management solutions. It helps in fast development, which is a top point. It also supports a lot of industry standards and has excellent documentation."
"Apigee makes proxy management very simple."
"A very functional solution."
"The opportunity for customization is really vast and it is a really good feature built into the product."
"The stability of the solution is good."
"AtomSphere API Management is a simple platform that's easy to use. If you're using it on-prem, there's a little learning curve."
"Boomi allows for more secure URLs and easy customization of HTTP and HTTPS protocols, which I find very beneficial."
"We can create APIs straightforwardly and quickly and build jobs for data migration."
"Integrations take less time."
"Boomi AtomSphere API Management is a good product for integrating with Boomi as a backend service."
"We can develop almost any interface that we need."
"The product's stability is good."
 

Cons

"When it comes to the rate limit, we don't have a specific category for rate limits for a particular customer."
"Apigee is not a solution compatible with public clouds, making it one of its shortcomings where improvements are required."
"The pricing of the solution could be improved upon. We'd like it if it was less costly."
"The solution tends to hide the limitations to keep selling the product."
"The solution could add even more functionalities."
"I am still struggling to understand how we can use Apigee as a hybrid system. The pricing of this solution could also be improved as there are multiple new products coming onto the market at competitive price points."
"Analytics is one of the areas needing enhancement, specifically more visibility and control over traffic to improve capacity management and high availability."
"There is room for improvement in v-logging for each transaction. Additionally, Apigee only allows validation of transactions up to a four-hour period, which requires manual hovering over the date and time."
"The product is really complex to manage."
"The API management has room for improvement."
"To some degree, you need to know what type or amount of API you are creating - whether it's a rest API or web service API. You need to know ETL in order to really get the most out of Boomi."
"Scalability is an area where Boomi lacks."
"It's difficult to integrate the on-prem application with the Dell Boomi Cloud. We have to check to ensure the Dell domain engine is running. It just requires some service endpoints from our on-prem application to connect to Dell Boomi Cloud to make it available to integrate. It would be better if AtomSphere API Management were offered as a purely SaaS application, so I wouldn't need an on-prem component to make it available. We could make a test call or provide some connection parameters. That should enable it to pull the data."
"The solution must provide more AI services."
"Boomi AtomSphere API Management can be improved in terms of threshold management and policy management."
"From an improvement perspective, the price could be cheaper."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Apigee has several different licenses you can obtain depending on your needs."
"If the budget is not a concern then I will choose to go with Apigee over WSA-2, but if it is then I would prefer the latter solution."
"My clients pay for a license."
"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."
"Apigee is expensive and not cost-effective. On a scale of one to ten, I would rate it an eight for the high cost. The changes individuals need to make on their side are costly."
"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."
"The solution’s pricing could be more competitive."
"Boomi AtomSphere API Management is a cheap product."
"The product can get very expensive quickly if you connect to multiple databases."
"Boomi AtomSphere API Management gives customers a good price. Price-wise, the product is good."
"The price is reasonable."
