We performed a comparison between Amazon API Gateway and Apigee based on our users’ reviews in five categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: Amazon API Gateway has a slight edge in this comparison due to it being the less expensive solution.
"It is a stable solution."
"The product is really good when it comes to API lifecycle management, and it is not just something that includes the balancing part or the security aspect but also the routing and the fallback mechanism."
"The solution is stable."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Amazon API Gateway can integrate with ECS and Lambda."
"t is easy for integrations if it is deployed in AWS Services."
"Amazon API Gateway facilitates our serverless architecture, particularly with Lambda, by allowing us to perform various tasks. For instance, Lambda functions authorize API calls, execute multiple workloads, and integrate with other services like Azure and Kubernetes. Additionally, we leverage Lambda functions behind the Amazon API Gateway to query databases, process data, and interact with different systems."
"Amazon stack is easy to use in combination with other Amazon services, so it was a logical continuity."
"A simple platform that's easier to work with than IBM API Connect. Support for it is really good and gives it advantage over other providers."
"Anyone with basic knowledge can build an API."
"Apigee is a pioneer in the industry and has good features and functionalities. It is a good tool for API management and it has more advancements than all other tools in the market in certain areas."
"Apigee provides good documentation."
"Technical support has been decent."
"The analytics feature is quite good."
"The stability of the solution is good. There aren't issues surrounding bugs or glitches. We don't find that it crashes or freezes. It's pretty reliable."
"Great flexibility with its features."
"The course management needs improvement. It's always an issue to set up the course management, especially when you use data form."
"Since the first invocation of AWS Lambda takes more than 30 seconds because of Lambda's cold start, Amazon API Gateway blocks that resource, thereby aborting the invocation."
"The product's high price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"They could include more support tools in the product."
"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."
"The user interface, in general, can be better. The user interface for the entire Amazon cloud can be more friendly. There are some scenarios that are not really easy to manage and configure through the user interface."
"Amazon API Gateway can improve the user interface in some areas it could be more polished."
"The API Gateway lacks the capability to directly facilitate API strategy development or user onboarding workflows."
"iPaaS is something that we would like to see. For example, MuleSoft is kind of an integrated platform as a service (iPaaS), and it provides a lot of out-of-the-box connectors and other such things. This is where Apigee lacks. I'm not sure if that's the roadmap for Apigee, but any improvements on those lines would be helpful where things become easier to implement."
"Better functionality for validating inputs and outputs would be helpful."
"The pricing for the product was a bit higher. I also found it challenging to manage sometimes."
"Drag and drop of features would be more beneficial, rather than manually working on the configuration and updates."
"Technical support model for OPDK should be more exposed and mature in terms of providing support during installation, run, and debug of Apigee in production on OPDK mode."
"The number one area this solution could be improved is by implementing support. Support is not a part of this solution."
"The user interface could be better. It could be easier to navigate and more user-friendly."
"Apigee is not a solution compatible with public clouds, making it one of its shortcomings where improvements are required."
