Pros: This is good when we are using some bulk functionalities .Like we can cater a whole sale market or retail eCommerce market
Cons: Some times API are go offline and you are not aware ..that create a lots of mess
Overall: over all experience is good
Very good tool for proxying target APIs. gives nice analytics and billing reports on the dashboard. easy integration with SOAP or REST APIs.
support response and debugging issues with proxies
expensive but effective API proxying tool with ease of deployment
API monetization and data analytics for API consumption.
The part i liked the most is Apigee Edge works like an abstraction layer that "fronts" for my actual APIs and provides me many features like securities, rate limiting, analytics and so much more.
In the spec design part i had to use swagger, if you are not familiar with this you need to learn it. There is not any single page dashboard of insights report and other workings.
If you want a product to provide your APIs security, rate limiting etc and a layer to provide abstraction to APIs you can go for it.
I solved the issues of API securities and rate limiting policies application. it benefited as a layer to reduce unwanted api requests to the API.
I like most its proxies management in the application. As well as i can access all three services analytic, api and developer services at a single platform. Its easy to monitor and i can review the data properly in graphical repersentation. Its user interface is awesome and enrich with several inbuilt features. Easily can update the quota limit and scale the same as per the project requirements. Its API integration is pretty easy.
Application is bit costly but as per service features its a worth of use.
This is a fantastic tool for proxies management and data analytics. Monitoring is so easy and good.
Using this application we increased the security and monitored the data easily. As well as greatly reduced the integration efforts.
Ease of developing and maintaining revisions of proxies for API
Support is not that great and production issues can be hanging for a bit until looked upon
Spike arresting, caching, url redirections , security etc. it has definitely made our API stable and secure
Pros: It works very well and has had extremely good uptime with increasing number of APIs. Apigee's Edge gateway is more robust. Very easy to use and to integrate with third party development.
Cons: No support to integrate it with automation frameworks. AWS API management is cost effective than Apigee. The model is very old and it need to be matured.
Pros: What i like most about this product is the developer portal. It was super easy to build and is even easire to manage.
Cons: What I like least about Apigee is the support. Everything is done through a portal and through email and you can end up spending a lot of time emailing to clarify an issue when you could have the same issue clarified in 10 minutes with a phone call.
Pros: Provides a good system to manage an API development and also has the ability to monitor and evaluate its development.
Cons: It is a bit expensive for the way the platform offers its service, it could offer a platform with pricing models.
Pros: The best part about this solution is that it runs, once it was set up and configured we have had little to no issues. They also provide a very nice selection of additional services that will support your API solution to market or implement.
Cons: The company I was working for planned to detach from its parent company and branch off independently. We needed Apigee to migrate us away from the parent companies account and to create our own, The informed us that this was possible with out any disruption but after paying out thousands to them and spending weeks preparing for the migration . We later found out that a migration to our own Apigee account would force all of our partners to make a major change on their end causing downtime.
We can't afford the downtime so we had to stay on the parent companies account and come up with an alternate plan to detach from the account.
Pros: Ease of exposing APIs for consumption, great developer self-service portal, excellent community to find answers to questions, API monitoring, and the ability to import WSDLs.
Cons: The pricing is very expensive and the pricing model is outdated. Would prefer a pay as you go model for pricing.
