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.

Secure and simplify API management with effective deployment options
In our organization, we use Oracle API Platform Cloud Service primarily to host and manage our middleware APIs. Our middleware APIs are registered on this platform and exposed to a fixed domain, which supports our organizational goals effectively Since our enterprise has many APIs, Oracle API…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The features for API security have been significant with Apigee."
"Apigee provides good documentation."
"The REST API allows for faster user engagement."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"Apigee is the heart of the architectural design for building an integration layer in our digital transformation projects. Organizations need an integration layer to connect their legacy backend services with the external world, such as Fintechs. This layer must be secure, not just a simple pass-through or gateway."
"Support is good."
"From two or three years back using it to now, it's quite fast."
"If you have very complex scenarios where you are trying to embark on a cloud journey and you still have systems on-premise or some systems are hosted on some other cloud and you want to do an integration, Apigee is really good."
"The solution is stable."
"The ease by which you can define policies to manage is impressive."
"Oracle API Platform Cloud Service's UI is quite user-friendly and supports a hybrid deployment model."
"All orders are now in real-time and we are adding extra features that can tell us who is placing the order and the different levels of access to different types of customers."
"All API usage is now governed and tracked."
"The Gateways are communicating with a Management Service, which lives in the Cloud, to send usage information or to fetch changes for the deployed APIs."
"The security mode and the deployment process are significant assets, offering simplified deployment and effective troubleshooting options, including Docker support."
"Oracle's APIP CS is a platform capable for consistently covering the complete API Lifecycle from design to retirement, supporting an API-first approach."
 

Cons

"Pricing is an area that can be improved, as it is a little on the higher side."
"I don't have any notes for improvement."
"The ability to work across different management solutions in a plug and play fashion would make it easier for faster uptake."
"They should improve the monitoring tools for on-premises environments."
"Proxy versioning seems a bit confusing and buried in the publishing experience, especially for the URI-based versioning approach."
"Drag and drop of features would be more beneficial, rather than manually working on the configuration and updates."
"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."
"Areas like traffic handling of incoming requests, security features between third-parties and Apigee, and between Apigee and internal network servers, resources, or JSON areas, etc."
"There should be closer integration between the API Platform Cloud Service and the Identity Cloud Service to allow IDCS Applications, protecting backend systems, to be linked to the API Applications that consumers use to access APIs."
"In future updates, we might be interested to see more enhancements after exploring the existing features over the next year."
"In the next release, I would like to see more security policies and for it to include an on-cloud gateway."
"The challenge is the product is getting new features at rapid pace."
"Oracle API Platform Cloud Service provides an API documentation tool, which is quite outdated."
"I would like to see enhanced support for SOAP Service and the corresponding WS-Security policies."
"Even when an API is functioning correctly, there seems to be a glitch within OCI (Oracle Cloud Infrastructure)."
"The on-premises connectivity can be improved because it is still not at its best."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"They need to work on the cost of the solution."
"The price of Apigee could be less expensive. The solution can be purchased monthly or annually."
"Compared to other products, Apigee had higher pricing."
"The prices are comparable."
"Apigee is slightly expensive, but again, it can depend on the type of usage. All things considered, it is slightly expensive."
"Apigee is subject to licensing fees."
"The solution is expensive to scale."
"Pricing depends on the specific services used."
"Oracle API Platform Cloud Service is a cheap solution."
"The pricing is for each logical gateway (a logical gateway can have multiple physical nodes)."
