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."Apigee's best features are flexibility and breadth of capabilities."
"It has a very efficient logging system which is easy to maintain."
"The security that you have with Apigee is very good and aligns with compliance."
"This is a front-layer gateway that helps to improve our overall performance."
"The usability is one of the best aspects of the product."
"I like implementing different policies, for example, rate-limiting policy."
"Apigee is very easy to use, and you can code in any language."
"Apigee provides good documentation."
"There were no complexities involved in the setup phase...The product is able to meet my company's API protection needs."
"The most valuable aspect of this solution for me has been the configuration-based UI. Once you get the hang of it, it enables you to easily develop an API. In addition, it has many in-built policies that are quite handy."
"I like the solution's policies, transformation, mediation, and routing features."
"This solution has given us a competitive advantage because we have better automation and insight."
"It's a good tool, and it has a stable messaging broker."
"Within the new version, webMethods API Gateway gives us an end-to-end lifecycle from the creation of the API up into the development, deployment, and promotion into production/live. The current end-to-end lifecycle of the API gives us enough authority and governance of the API. We know what are currently live services, what is in the testing stage of development, and what version that has been commissioned. So, the full life cycle itself gives us full authority and governance of the API."
"The cloud version of the solution is very easy to set up."
"The developer portal is a valuable feature."
"The company needs to better support webhooks. It used to support webhooks and their policies and they have since stopped. They had some issues in the product and they abandoned the support for them. It's not come back since."
"One feature they have to invest time into is the developer portal they use."
"What my clients don't like is that the on-premises solution is not being treated and maintained as well as the cloud solution."
"The analytical aspect of it could be better. I think it is fair if Apigee lets you configure some of the metrics of the key details you want to monitor in terms of analytics."
"I see some lagging in regards to integration capacity"
"Technical support model for OPDK should be more exposed and mature in terms of providing support during installation, run, and debug of Apigee in production on OPDK mode."
"Apigee's user interface could be more straightforward and have more options. Also, it would be nice if it were ready to work out of the box without so much configuration."
"I'd like this solution to improve on releasing new features; I'd like it to be more frequent."
"They should develop clear visibility for the onboarding."
"Understanding the overall architecture is difficult."
"There are things that could be improved with the webMethods API gateway. One thing is that it's too attached to the integration service and we'd like it to be a little bit more independent. We would like for them to separate operations so that it doesn't rely on the bulky integration server and so that it can be used everywhere."
"The price has room for improvement."
"With performance, there is room for improvement in regards to if we would like to put another extra layer of security on it, such as SSL. This is affecting their performance quite significantly. They need to improve the process of managing the SSL and other things inside their solutions, so there will not be quite such a significant impact to the performance."
"With respect to the API gateway, the runtime component, the stability after a new release is something that can be improved."
"The configuring of the JWT token would be improved as it is a confusing process. We require more information on this part of the solution."
"In terms of improvements, maybe on the API monetization side, having users able to create separate consumption plans and throttle all those consumption plans towards the run time could be better."
