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.

Single endpoint has simplified microservice routing and has improved traffic monitoring
I would appreciate improvements to the user interface because it currently appears generic. Please add more professional elements to the UI. I need this because when I open this site in public, everyone says it was built by a college student. I would love for the UI to be professional. For other things, you should orchestrate the features list on the home page and add other things. You should not mention everything. You should mention on the home page which feature I last used so I can go there directly without navigating through settings and multiple menus. If I use any feature repeatedly, it should appear on the home page.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I use it because it's simple, it automatically updates, and It hasn't given me any issues."
"Overall the solution works well, it is one of the best solutions on the market."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"Technical support is available twenty-four hours a day, and when it is a critical issue, they come online, take real-time access to our system, and support us in solving the problem."
"It has all the features necessary to work in anything from a basic scenario to advanced applications."
"One of the best parts of this solution is the implementation as we did not need to use code or out-of-box policies. When it comes to the cloud-based architecture, there is a high level of reliability."
"I would recommend this solution to others who are interested in using it."
"The most valuable features are low-code play, quick packaging, and production."
"Traefik Enterprise brought us an easier way because we faced a problem with Ingress Nginx, we needed another tool which could replace our current stack, we found Traefik easily and discovered how it is installed, and in most cases, it is easy to work with it."
"The tool handles scalability pretty easily. Adding more instances of services and all are pretty intuitive to do using Traefik Enterprise."
"Traefik Enterprise has helped my e-commerce systems by improving routing stability, cost efficiency, reliability, and measurable performance time."
"Traefik Enterprise is helping us tremendously because we do not need to manage multiple service domains."
"Traefik Enterprise has positively impacted my organization by making myself and my colleagues more efficient, allowing us to invest more time in other tasks because we are comfortable knowing how Traefik Enterprise operates and the automation we implemented with it."
 

Cons

"It would be good if the Apigee management allowed us to be able to consolidate many operations into single one for the gateway functionality."
"The cost of this solution could be improved and it would be better if it were on private cloud."
"Compared to its competitors, such as Axway AMPLIFY API Management and Layer7 API Management, Apigee could benefit from having more policies to cater to various use cases. This would reduce the need for writing custom JavaScripts. If more features come straight out of the box, we can leverage them instead of writing custom code to achieve the same functionality."
"For Apigee, I think licensing is on a monthly basis. The cost increases as the usage increases; it's higher than many competitors."
"The integration could be improved within the solution. There is a need to pay more attention to this."
"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."
"The ability to work across different management solutions in a plug and play fashion would make it easier for faster uptake."
"I have heard there maybe be some security issues that need to be addressed. If this is the situation I would encourage taking a look at the security matters."
"One should be able to just check things straight up from the UI and get to know what kind of issues are there in the solution, and even though such a feature is already there in the tool, there is more work to be done in it."
"I would appreciate improvements to the user interface because it currently appears generic."
"With Traefik, there are a lot of files that should be specified for Traefik. With Nginx, we have one file, which is Ingress Nginx, but with Traefik, there is more than one file you need to configure to work it as well."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"They need to work on the cost of the solution."
"It is an expensive solution."
"The cost increases as the usage increases."
"Its price is reasonable for the features they provide and the maturity of the platform."
"The iicense is subscription-based."
"The product's pricing is fair. You need to pay additional costs for the support."
"Apigee is subject to licensing fees."
"Apigee has several different licenses you can obtain depending on your needs."
"I would say that Traefik Enterprise is cheaper than the other alternatives in the market."
