"I'm still evaluating, but in terms of overall performance and stability, it's quite good."
"It's easy to use and the security features are valuable."
"I use it because it's simple, it automatically updates, and It hasn't given me any issues."
"It has all the features necessary to work in anything from a basic scenario to advanced applications."
"The portal for developers that this solution provides has great functionality."
"The feature I find most valuable is that this solution allows us to manage our security."
"You can set up workflows and write limited pieces of logic."
"It is a good product for API management."
"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."
"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."
"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 account simplification process can be improved."
"Google isn't enthusiastic about supporting older versions. Google is now trying to move all of its clients to X within the cloud."
"The pricing of the solution could be improved upon. We'd like it if it was less costly."
"The solution could add even more functionalities."
"Compared to its competitors, such as Axway AMPLIFY API Management and Layer7 API Management, Apigee could benefit from having more policies to cater to various use cases. This would reduce the need for writing custom JavaScripts. If more features come straight out of the box, we can leverage them instead of writing custom code to achieve the same functionality."
"An area for improvement would be to provide more information while troubleshooting."
"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."
"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."
"Sometimes when new features are released, they are not immediately stable."
"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."
