We performed a comparison between Apigee and Tyk based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two API Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I simply like how you can personalize your products and put them into product categories. That's what I like the most."
"Highly scalable from any initial topology to horizontal extension"
"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."
"The most important feature is the security capabilities and the way it integrates very quickly with other security providers. We have integrated it with Azure and it integrates quite seamlessly."
"The security provided by the solution is excellent."
"Great flexibility with its features."
"It is easy to set up. It is on Google Platform, and there are multiple deployment models they support, which is great."
"It is scalable."
"The portal for developers that this solution provides has great functionality."
"You can set up workflows and write limited pieces of logic."
"It is a good product for API management."
"The feature I find most valuable is that this solution allows us to manage our security."
"The scalability is very good. That was a key factor in the selection, like how it could be pushed to high volume and scalability, which seemed to be very good."
"The most valuable feature is the load balancing with the circuit-breaker function."
"iPaaS is something that we would like to see. For example, MuleSoft is kind of an integrated platform as a service (iPaaS), and it provides a lot of out-of-the-box connectors and other such things. This is where Apigee lacks. I'm not sure if that's the roadmap for Apigee, but any improvements on those lines would be helpful where things become easier to implement."
"One feature they have to invest time into is the developer portal they use."
"Proxy versioning seems a bit confusing/buried in the publishing experience, especially for the URI-based versioning approach."
"It would be good if the Apigee management allowed us to be able to consolidate many operations into single one for the gateway functionality."
"It is an expensive solution."
"The number one area this solution could be improved is by implementing support. Support is not a part of this solution."
"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 lacks market presence."
"We ran it for a while, but then we decided to move away from Tyk, because Tyk's cloud version, the SaaS version, has a significant limitation of limited flexibility, so you can't program very much."
"I would like to see some additional features like having some extensions for .NET core because we use it for our back-end language."
"In terms of our usage, the main area of concern is that they tend to build enhancements slightly ahead of the considerations for what those enhancements and extensions are. So it could be slightly better communication with the customer base that would be my main issue with them."
"We would like a better tool for generating documentation for the APIs to be developed."
"Sometimes when new features are released, they are not immediately stable."
"It is a young product and does not have the kind of brand recognition that would make it a more popular solution with our clients."
