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

"This tool is extremely helpful for discovery and self-service of API solutions."
"The usability is one of the best aspects of the product and it is broadly used in different functional areas, almost in all the contexts that we have."
"Before using Apigee, we used to have file transfer integrations; with Apigee in place, we are directly integrating or exposing our APIs to our partners who can access our services directly in real time."
"Apigee is relatively easy to use for developers."
"If customers are trying to do long-term planning, and want to apply monetization on their APIs, then Apigee will be the best in this situation."
"We can customize the dashboard."
"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 is a great product with good feedback and recommendations from clients."
"The security, the authentication, and the publishing qualities are great."
"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."
"We've found it to be very stable."
"The initial setup isn't overly difficult."
"The most valuable features for us are security and centralization."
"The product has been very easy to use."
"The most valuable features for us are security and centralization."
"It has helped us to better organize, control and monitor the APIs across the solution landscape in the enterprise."
 

Cons

"What my clients don't like is that the on-premises solution is not being treated and maintained as well as the cloud solution."
"The technical support could be improved because their response time is slow."
"The entire user across all the layers should be singly authenticated through an external authentication system."
"The user interface could be better. It could be easier to navigate and more user-friendly."
"The Apigee cloud admin UI could be more user-friendly by adding a few more features."
"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."
"It needs predictive analysis of consumption."
"The caching capabilities are somewhat limited. This is more on the developer-oriented capabilities."
"From an administration and developer point of view, the user interface and user experience are not great."
"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."
"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."
"The cost of the solution is very high. It's not very cheap."
"Oracle needs to improve on access to technical documentation."
"We'd like it if they could reduce the cost without sacrificing on features."
"Oracle should actively seek feedback and tailor the approach to client needs. It shouldn't always be about pushing additional products."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Apigee has several different licenses you can obtain depending on your needs."
"It is a bit on the expensive side. Its licensing cost is a bit high, and that's where we've seen people going back on their decisions."
"It is not suited for small companies. It's expensive."
"It is more expensive when you compare to open-source products or other vendors."
"The cost increases as the usage increases."
"You do not necessarily pay for the license. The cloud solution is based more on transactions. So, you pay for it either way."
"We have a contract for three years. I don't know the cost."
"The current version of Apigee is not too expensive, but we are currently in talks with Google to understand their roadmap for Apigee X. However, we anticipate that with the introduction of Apigee X, the pricing will likely increase."
"Oracle is not a cheap solution and it is not affordable for all of our clients in Portugal."
