We performed a comparison between Apigee and webMethods API Gateway 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."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."
"Items around the mobilization of the API interface and the ability to automate validations for our APIs are the most valuable aspects."
"Lifecycle management."
"Technical support has been decent."
"The features I found most valuable are how the APIs are published, the whole process of finalizing the API, and then controlling it."
"The developer portal is very useful to customers."
"It's stable."
"The most valuable feature is monetization."
"The cloud version of the solution is very easy to set up."
"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."
"What I like the most about the solution is that it comes with ready-made tools like handling security tokens and OAuth."
"I like the solution's policies, transformation, mediation, and routing features."
"The developer portal is a valuable feature."
"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."
"There were no complexities involved in the setup phase...The product is able to meet my company's API protection needs."
"The solution could add even more functionalities."
"We've encountered challenges in leveraging Connect functionality, prompting us to explore additional tools, such as Fergus, to address implementation and security issues."
"The setup and installation process could be improved with a container-based system."
"I'd like this solution to improve on releasing new features; I'd like it to be more frequent."
"Apigee lacks market presence."
"The pricing of the solution could be improved upon. We'd like it if it was less costly."
"Proxy versioning seems a bit confusing/buried in the publishing experience, especially for the URI-based versioning approach."
"The solution is pretty expensive."
"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."
"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."
"It is an expensive solution and not very suitable for smaller businesses."
"They should develop clear visibility for the onboarding."
"The high price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"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 configuring of the JWT token would be improved as it is a confusing process. We require more information on this part of the solution."
"The price has room for improvement."
