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.

My main feedback is about the account management. I feel they should connect with clients more frequently, beyond just selling the product. They should actively seek feedback and tailor the approach to client needs. It shouldn't always be about pushing additional products. My main suggestion is focused solely on the account management approach, specifically fostering closer and more proactive client relationships. So, the pricing could also be bit improvement.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most important feature is the security capabilities and the way it integrates very quickly with other security providers. We have integrated it with Azure and it integrates quite seamlessly."
"Apigee is a strong-featured solution, it leads in Gartner Quadrant ratings, and it is a full-slated API solution that has the features that an API gateway requires."
"The usability is one of the best aspects of the product."
"Apigee gives you plenty of opportunities to set up your workspace depending on how you want to manage your APIs."
"Apigee's best features are flexibility and breadth of capabilities."
"The stability of the product is not an issue."
"It's stable."
"Apigee has proven to be one of the best of the breed."
"We've found it to be very stable."
"It has helped us to better organize, control and monitor the APIs across the solution landscape in the enterprise."
"It is very secure, easy to manage, and easy to configure. It is a web-based API. Moreover, we get direct support from Oracle guys."
"The most valuable features for us are security and centralization."
"The security, the authentication, and the publishing qualities are great."
"The initial setup isn't overly difficult."
"The product has been very easy to use."
 

Cons

"I'd like this solution to improve on releasing new features; I'd like it to be more frequent."
"The solution tends to hide the limitations to keep selling the product."
"The support is lacking. One of the main reasons it is lacking is because they have different applications bundled together."
"They need to work on the cost of the solution."
"Apigee's product cost is quite high compared to other products. Customers think that going with Google ensures quick resolution of security or performance issues."
"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."
"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."
"The solution could add even more functionalities."
"The cost of the solution is very high. It's not very cheap."
"Although it is working great for us at the moment, we don't enjoy its user-interface. The UI is based on an old approach and needs an overhaul to modernize the UI and user interaction."
"Oracle should actively seek feedback and tailor the approach to client needs. It shouldn't always be about pushing additional products."
"From an administration and developer point of view, the user interface and user experience are not great."
"Before gaining experience with the product, I found that it was not simple to use and things took longer to do than I had anticipated."
"We'd like it if they could reduce the cost without sacrificing on features."
"Oracle needs to improve on access to technical documentation."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"In Latin America, Apigee is expensive. It's not for small businesses; it's more for big businesses."
"Compared to other products, Apigee had higher pricing."
"The iicense is subscription-based."
"The cost of the licensing is based on the number of API calls that are made."
"My clients pay for a license."
"The tool is extremely expensive."
"Apigee has several different licenses you can obtain depending on your needs."
"The solution’s pricing could be more competitive."
"Oracle is not a cheap solution and it is not affordable for all of our clients in Portugal."
