Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Google, Amazon Web Services (AWS) and others in API Management."Its security feature is the most valuable because it is mainly a security solution. It has easy authentication and authorization, and its integration is also useful."
"One of the most valuable aspects of API Gateway is its native integration with AWS services."
"The most valuable feature is it has lots of integration."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is a stable solution with an uptime of 99.99 percent."
"The best thing about Amazon API Gateway is that it can authenticate and authorize requests without going to our back end."
"The solution is user-friendly."
"It is very helpful, with our API-based applications."
"The technical support is very strong. We've had issues with the solution and configuration and we got very good support."
"I do like the overall performance of the solution."
"In two years, there was one time the service was down for an hour or so."
"I find the generation of mock services very useful, especially when demonstrating for new consumers."
"Quick and easy way to share a new API design with teams."
"Git integration"
"The pricing could be improved. In cases where customers require real-time sync or real-time calling groups with IoT, the volume of data and time lag become a concern."
"I am not completely satisfied with Technical Support."
"From a use cases perspective, you need to have an internal and external gateway. AWS can only handle external traffic so has to be used together with another solution."
"Currently, I'm not facing any issues with Amazon API Gateway, which satisfies my requirements. I'm pretty happy with what Amazon API Gateway offers, but as its pricing is on the higher side, that's one area for improvement in the solution. What I'd like to see in the next release of Amazon API Gateway is an improvement in the status checks you get from the monitoring feature of the solution. Currently, you get the number of requests received, the number of reports, etc., but if there are more details than what's given by Amazon API Gateway, that will improve the solution."
"There should be more videos and documentation about the new features that are released every month."
"The only real problem is that you have to know a lot about what is outside of the API gateway in order to make the best use of it."
"The course management needs improvement. It's always an issue to set up the course management, especially when you use data form."
"The tool's UI requires time to understand."
"The Oracle release cycle is very bad because the patches only update once a year."
"Swagger (OpenAPI Specification) and Blueprint Support"
"I would like an integrated option to download a Swagger version of the definition."
