APIGEE Edge the best Api Management Platform and worth having it
We use it as API gateway, reverse proxy, caching layer, API performance measurement tool, API authentication tool, API monetization tool, etc. We had a use case wherein we need to monetize APIs and also need to have the analytics and hence we choose Apigee. Apigee helps to monetize APIs and hence we can charge the consumers of our API. Apigee provides analytics to see the performance of API in a specified period of time. We also onboarded our legacy SOAP APIs to Apigee and have a REST endpoint for the same. It is really nice API management platform [that] deals with most of the API concerns.
- Apigee monetization and quota allocation
- Apigee is wonderful is providing API analytics
- Apigee also provides mechanism to secure API
- Apigee should provide policy to integrate customize identity management systems
- Apigee should provide mechanism to configure cache limit for particular API
- Apigee is powerful tool however the marketing of Apigee needs to improve

- Apigee overtakes most of the API concerns and hence reduces the delivery time line
- Apigee provides user subscriptions with credentials and hence subscription is always secure
- Apigee provides option to use the legacy system with modern outlook
Apigee is the best in the market in terms of API Analytics Apigee is having wonderful Documentation with short videos Security is a major concern and Apigee provides an easily configurable policy to secure API Quota and rate-limit is again very easy to configure on every API basis It provides various policies to transform the response from one form to another form e.g. JSON to XML or XML to JSON

Great tool for managing API access and handling requests/responses from backend to client.
Used by the whole third party partner organization. Our main use cases for the product are for security purposes and easy parameter changes in the middle of the request as Apigee Edge can handle this for us. It also provides a way to secure our APIs i.e. using 1-way or 2-way TLS, and OAuth among others.
- Security - Allows us to secure our APIs. Through OAuth and TLS
- Request & Response Handling - We can modify the response and adjust it depending on the needs of the organization that needs it without changing the backend services.
- Load Balancing - Allows us to target different server endpoints easily and even on a per deployment environment basis.
- Intellisense - Please add intellisense support for ease of use when coding.
- Documentation - Elaborate more on the specifics about the functions of policies and their parameters.

- I'm not paying for this, but our organization does.
Nothing really. This is the first time I've heard and use such technology. Its equivalent in a Spring Framework really is Netflix Zuul at best. But still Apigee Edge as a platform is still much easier to use and develop APIs from. Considering I could easily on-board developers with Apigee with our Apigee APIs, Apigee is miles ahead at least by far when compared to Spring Frameworks libraries which would have you review different documentations w/c consumes so much time getting used to, all the while things such as load balancing and securing APIs is very easy in Apigee.
From Financial Technology to Telecommunications, it is being used.I haven't heard of other uses of it within our organization. But it's pretty much being used by our company since 2018 and is now being used more extensively at least on our partner organizations to where they also already have Apigee Engineers
Can't tell how many in the organization, but many developers are assigned into developing APIs in Apigee as we are using it on our big projects.
- Security
- Load Balancing
- Easy Developer On-boarding
- Complex Analytics data etc

Avoid at all cost.
We are using Apigee as an API gateway. The business decision to use Apigee was for it to manage token minting and routing requests from UIs to our APIs.
- Nothing?
- Only one user can be active in a proxy at a time
- No version control
- Prohibited from using JSON.stringify on Apigee objects (tokens)
- Debugging is difficult
- Unable to rename or delete policies without bumping revision
- Why would anyone give a js policy one name, display name something else, and script a different name?
- 'Trace' limited to only 20 transactions
- UI allows users to add target servers, but users must utilize the api to turn on SSL.
- I'm sure there's more, they just aren't coming to mind right now.
- Apigee forgets (expires?) your password at random intervals without notice. Every few weeks, or days, sometimes even three times in one day, I'll attempt to login to Apigee and my password will be 'wrong'. I've reset my password and Apigee still claims it's wrong. I've had to reset my password three times before it finally let me log back in.

- Unruly, difficult to maintain, unable to test, difficult to troubleshoot and debug. Every ticket that requires Apigee work increases stress and anxiety.
A Node server as a proxy that uses JSON Web Tokens would be more maintainable than Apigee.

Apigee at a glance!!!
We are using Apigee across our organization for designing APIs. It helps us to segregate the quota based allocation to our consumers and has inbuilt features like OAuth based authentication. The console and the easy way to use a policy in Apigee are also great.
- Better exception handling with the Raise exception policies help to monitor the flow by setting up the flow conditions.
- Easy development of a Proxy and APIs with much less tutoring and helps make getting started for new users easy.
- Very good documentation and blog with details of most common failures and error handling.
- A very very easy to use console.
- Apigee should allow you to trace the APIs for a longer duration. Currently, it does not trace more than 20 API calls and it is difficult to trace a particular scenario in production where the volume would be in millions.
- Apigee should include cloud provider integration which would help many users to easily include several tools with it.
- Java script debugging is very hard in current console and dose not include any tracing and console logs. This could be improved.

- Easily spin up a new proxy has helped in setting up a proxy for new products right away in days.
- Analytics and reports generation in Apigee has helped understand the business better and helped tuned the cost factor.
- Apigee could get better with the cost factor.
- Amazon API
Amazon API's gateway does not have easy to set up policies and exception handling. It does not have a tracking mechanism. However, it is better to use AWS API's gateway if you have tight integration with AWS tools.

How apt is Apigee for you?
My organization, being a partner with APIGEE, consults for the potential clients who look for opportunities to implement an API mgmt solution. I make recommendations based on their current infrastructure, goals and budgeting aspects.
- Excellent User interface for developers and non-technical people.
- Support for cloud infrastructure as well as on-prem is equally good.
- Flexibility to choose from different Apigee products is good.
- Support for IoT solutions is good.
- Might need to bring in more features that a gateway performs, such a orchestration to some extent.
- May seem to be costly at start for small scale enterprises.

- Able to help enterprises implement a proxy API that exposes data to relevant parties (recipients).
- Appropriate security implementation is easily faciiatated.
Somewhere in the middle. Based on its current offerings and subscription model
