I am experienced SAP SOA integration professional trying to get hands on experience in APIGEE.
Since we know APIGEE is partnering with SAP for sap api management - will SAP have its own certification for API management or will have to follow APIGEE certification?
Reason i am asking is - The normal SAP certification would cost 400 USD while APIGEE costs 750 USD.
PS: i dont know if i should ask the above to SAP or APIGEE
Great Question & You are welcome to ask in Apigee Community as long as question has reference to Apigee
Will SAP have its own certification for API management or will have to follow APIGEE certification?
As far as i know, SAP currently doesn’t have any API Management Certification. If they announce same, you are welcome to take it & you will be called SAP API Management Certified.
Apigee Certification :
Apigee Certification not only deals with API Management but also other APIGEE related features & products like Apigee BaaS, API Lifecycle Management, API Documentation, Security Practices, Node.JS etc.
So there is a significant difference between just API Management & APIGEE Certification. May be that justifies additional cost
Slightly confused here… @Anil Sagar i was under the impression that SAP api management = the entire APIGEE. From your post above it seems APIGEE have lot more than SAP api management offers.
PS: Do you have any link etc to clear my above confusion?
by the way, i checked SAP and they do not have api management certification (yet)
@Sujith Mathew , Apigee has multiple products in the eco space of APIs. For Example, Apigee Insights which is predictive analytics platform, Apigee Link which is API First IoT Platform, Apigee - 127 an open source Node.JS api platform, Apigee BaaS - Apigee Backend As A Service which is very helpful for building mobile Apps. Though not all of them covered in Apigee Certification but some definitely. I don’t think SAP API Management covers Apigee BaaS.
