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."They capture the details of all the incoming and outgoing traffic of your APIs. Based on 300+ default dimensions you can generate beautiful and insightful reports on usage and consumption of APIs."
"Apigee has proven to be one of the best of the breed."
"The most valuable features of Apigee for me are analytics, security, ease of use, and integration capabilities."
"Apigee is a very lightweight solution."
"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."
"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."
"I have found the most valuable features to be tracing a proxy, and managing proxy versions and revisions via the Edge UI component."
"It nice and easy for the clients and those using the product to access the product's help resources."
"It is a good product for API management."
"The portal for developers that this solution provides has great functionality."
"The most valuable feature is the load balancing with the circuit-breaker function."
"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 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."
"They need to work on the cost of the solution."
"I'd like this solution to improve on releasing new features; I'd like it to be more frequent."
"The pricing for the product was a bit higher. I also found it challenging to manage sometimes."
"Integration should be improved."
"It needs predictive analysis of consumption."
"The solution is pretty expensive."
"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 lacks market presence."
"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."
"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."
"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."
