It supports organizations in orchestrating and governing APIs with enterprise-level security and performance. The platform is suitable for managing complex API ecosystems and provides lifecycle management tools for API infrastructure. The platform includes an API Hub, a centralized catalog that organizes API specifications from multiple sources using open standards. It features advanced security capabilities, such as machine learning-based abuse detection, which identifies undocumented APIs, evaluates API proxies against security standards, and detects potential abuses through pattern recognition. AI-powered tools assist in generating OpenAPI specifications, creating mock servers for development, and avoiding duplicate APIs. The platform supports multiple API styles, including REST, gRPC, SOAP, and GraphQL, and enables the creation of high-performance API proxies for traffic management. Apigee offers deployment flexibility through its hybrid model, allowing organizations to host and manage containerized runtime services in their own Kubernetes clusters while maintaining consistent API management. This approach supports deployment in on-premises data centers or public cloud environments. The platform also provides autogenerated suggestions for creating API proxies, integrations, and plugin extensions. A sandbox environment is available for evaluation purposes. > > Verdict: Rated **4.5/5** by 19 users.

Ability to trace and visualize traffic. > > **Cons**: Apigee monetization. We bough monetization with Edge but its very unstable. > > Stable, secure, low latency but not that good quality support ----- ### "Great API management for security and availability" — 4.0/5 > **Sagar** | *26 January 2018* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Apigee provides a wide range of features that an API developer should monitor to develop a highly available and secured api, while the developer focuses best on the API functionality. > > **Cons**: Th learning curve for Apigee to learn initially. Apigee has great UI but user experience is bit uncomfortable > > Easier API management, analytics and security ----- ### "We use the Apigee Edge Platform for our API solution." — 4.0/5 > **Thomas** | *9 April 2018* | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **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. ----- ### "Bit costly but fully feature packed" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *24 July 2022* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: oAuth support is built-in, SharedFlow feature is very convenient as it allows sharing of same block of policies across various API proxies. Also, Team, App and Product features help to offer APIs in very convenient way. > > **Cons**: It's a bit costlier as compared to Microsoft's Azure API Management service (APIM). Feature-wise, Apigee is pretty well, no cons from that perspective. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/452214/Apigee-Edge?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/452214/Apigee-Edge) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
