"Apigee's best features are flexibility and breadth of capabilities."
"It has all the features necessary to work in anything from a basic scenario to advanced applications."
"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 most valuable feature of the current version of Apigee, such as Apigee Edge, is that the maintenance and scalability of the service are not our responsibility. As a SaaS platform, Google takes care of it, ensuring the system is stable. Another valuable feature is the ability to customize the platform extensively. We can add JavaScript functionality to cater to any use case that is not available out of the box."
"The pricing is okay."
"A simple platform that's easier to work with than IBM API Connect. Support for it is really good and gives it advantage over other providers."
"Apigee makes proxy management very simple."

I think the full version formula for that is really useful. They should improve the development environment for easier integration."
"A lower price would definitely be an improvement."
"Amazon API Gateway needs to focus on minimizing latency."

"I'd like this solution to improve on releasing new features; I'd like it to be more frequent."
"More documentation on the Open Banking Standard will help."
"The technical support could be improved because their response time is slow."
"They should improve the monitoring tools for on-premises environments."
"As it is now, the rotation of certificates is a manual task and is something that can be improved."
