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

"A special feature is configuring target servers, proxy config, and Cert related security, which regularizes incoming traffic from cloud users or external applications to internal applications in a secured manner."
"The scalability is incredible."
"If you have numerous applications and high traffic, Apigee is a strong choice for its excellent features and outstanding performance."
"Apigee brings a lot of projects, including development projects; for example, when an oil company is swiping a card in the palm station for payment of oil, as it swipes, it hits the database, and Apigee manages the entire process with the help of dedicated proxies, and managing those proxies is very easy, and Apigee makes proxy management very simple."
"The tool is good, easy to use, and has good customer support."
"Apigee is market standard currently, as it is the number one product compared to any other product, and it has different policies, built-in API management policies provided by Apigee, with over 50 plus policies available."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"The flexibility allows you to quickly run a cloud-native application architecture."
"The tool handles scalability pretty easily. Adding more instances of services and all are pretty intuitive to do using Traefik Enterprise."
"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."
"Traefik Enterprise has helped my e-commerce systems by improving routing stability, cost efficiency, reliability, and measurable performance time."
 

Cons

"When there is an update on a new version or an automatic update, you have to be present and double-check that the update is reflected in the environment with no issues."
"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 installation and management of this product are still a clumsy task."
"It is an expensive solution."
"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."
"Integration should be improved."
"Analytics is one of the areas needing enhancement, specifically more visibility and control over traffic to improve capacity management and high availability."
"Apigee is not a solution compatible with public clouds, making it one of its shortcomings where improvements are required."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"They need to work on the cost of the solution."
"Apigee is subject to licensing fees."
"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."
"In Latin America, Apigee is expensive. It's not for small businesses; it's more for big businesses."
"It is an expensive solution."
"Its price is reasonable for the features they provide and the maturity of the platform."
"We have a contract for three years. I don't know the cost."
"The cost increases as the usage increases."
"I would say that Traefik Enterprise is cheaper than the other alternatives in the market."
