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

"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."
"The customer service and support are cooperative and effective in providing insights and solutions during challenges."
"The features I found most valuable are how the APIs are published, the whole process of finalizing the API, and then controlling it."
"It accelerates development and deployment processes."
"One feature I found most valuable in Apigee is its simplicity."
"The solution is stable and, from an enterprise perspective, it can handle volume which is important for us."
"I'm confident in the stability of the solution, as it is very reliable and has good performance."
"Great flexibility with its features."
"The tool handles scalability pretty easily. Adding more instances of services and all are pretty intuitive to do using Traefik Enterprise."
"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."
"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."
"Traefik Enterprise is helping us tremendously because we do not need to manage multiple service domains."
 

Cons

"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."
"One feature they have to invest time into is the developer portal they use."
"When compared with other products and tools in the market like MuleSoft or other API management solutions, I see some lagging in regards to integration capacity — where we don't have all of the connectors."
"Apigee does not have a testing feature."
"Pricing is an area that can be improved, as it is a little on the higher side."
"An area for improvement would be to provide more information while troubleshooting."
"I don't have any notes for improvement."
"Support of integration is what is most challenging in Apigee, as well as the complexity of the components."
"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."
"I would appreciate improvements to the user interface because it currently appears generic."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool is extremely expensive."
"It is an expensive solution."
"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."
"Compared to other products, Apigee had higher pricing."
"It is more expensive when you compare to open-source products or other vendors."
"I would like to see the implementation of further options for billing because as it is now, the opportunities you have in terms of a package are limited."
"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."
"They need to work on the cost of the solution."
"I would say that Traefik Enterprise is cheaper than the other alternatives in the market."
