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.

Trust and reliability have been established with long-term usage and significant integration benefits
TIBCO Cloud API Management offers API management plus the ability to orchestrate all inbound and outbound API calls. When an API is exposed to the external system, it functions as a single integration. Behind the scenes, you can perform extensive API modeling, aggregation, and downstream systems can have more than one API and give the response back to a single API call. It has many features such as orchestration rule engine, which makes it quite good. TIBCO Cloud API Management has brought numerous benefits for our organization, especially in product maturity and support. Sales and support are strong areas, and I think it is very good. If they do not get the right support, then they should consider other options. The sales and support also provides cost optimization.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I'm confident in the stability of the solution, as it is very reliable and has good performance."
"Apigee is very easy to use, and you can code in any language, like JavaScript, Java, or any other language."
"The drag-and-drop and click-through functionalities, alongside minimal code requirements, make Apigee valuable. It is intuitive and user-friendly."
"The solution is stable and, from an enterprise perspective, it can handle volume which is important for us."
"Apigee is a front-layer gateway and it helps to improve our overall performance."
"It's stable."
"Items around the mobilization of the API interface and the ability to automate validations for our APIs are the most valuable aspects."
"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."
"TIBCO Cloud API Management has brought numerous benefits for our organization, especially in product maturity and support."
"Conversion to RESTful and SOAP protocols and management console (can manage individually throttled settings to manage our service levels for customers)."
"TIBCO API gateway is one of the best products available around this space."
"The solution is a good general API manager. They have a few propriety features but are offering items that are standard in the industry as well."
"Very few outages or SLA issues."
"The reason why we selected the solution originally was because of its ability to have a gateway both on-premise and in the cloud. This is the most valuable aspect of the solution for us."
"The control that we have and the security features are very valuable, and with regard to API implementation or API orchestration, it works very well in the cloud because as soon as you create an API with one click, you can actually expose your APIs."
"It is easy to work with but it is not stable."
 

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."
"I am still struggling to understand how we can use Apigee as a hybrid system."
"Role-based access management needs to be improved. It would also be nice if the solution could be integrated with code versioning systems like Git/Bitbucket."
"They have an external developer platform that was a little bit painful."
"The solution can be improved by simplifying the account creation process."
"The solution’s scalability could be improved."
"The Apigee cloud admin UI could be more user-friendly by adding a few more features."
"We are experiencing issues with automation; the production in Apigee is quite time-consuming."
"They can fix some stability issues and probably make it more user-friendly so that not only an IT savvy person but an end-user can also easily navigate through this solution."
"I'd like to see TIBCO integrate authentication and security features into Mashery."
"The way agile life cycle is working needs improvement. I also want to see more support for open API standards. I want to see some improvement on the protocol transformation. That is quite missing now. These are the three main issues."
"Stability is our concern because it's very complex to manage and handle."
"We observed delays under heavy load conditions, and without proper tuning, changes could take an extended period to filter and become effective."
"The management console of API and customers' applications are not the most intuitive."
"Policy management has been a bit of a concern."
"TIBCO Cloud API Management should improve its installation and make it easy."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Apigee is slightly expensive, but again, it can depend on the type of usage. All things considered, it is slightly expensive."
"It was fairly expensive. I don't know what the standard pricing is. I want to say that it's something like $80,000 for 800 million requests (approximately) a year."
"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."
"It is more expensive when you compare to open-source products or other vendors."
"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."
"In Latin America, Apigee is expensive. It's not for small businesses; it's more for big businesses."
"The price of Apigee could be less expensive. The solution can be purchased monthly or annually."
"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."
"Its price is pretty reasonable. There are some lightweight API options available in the market, but given the feature set that TIBCO provides, its price is really reasonable."
"Licensing is quite flexible."
"We have secured terms on which we have been happy to renew for a number of years."
"TIBCO Cloud API Management is not an expensive solution."
