"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The initial setup is pretty easy. Deployment only takes five minutes."
"Integrating API Gateway with other AWS services was easy. It worked out of the box, so it worked perfectly."
"The best thing about Amazon API Gateway is that it can authenticate and authorize requests without going to our back end."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is it has lots of integration."
"It is good for communicating between the systems and for publishing and subscribing. We can easily retrieve data. It is good in terms of troubleshooting and other things."
"webMethods API Portal is overall very valuable. It is now a comprehensive API catalogue that serves various purposes, including API assessment and evaluation."
"We have found the pricing of the solution to be fair."
"It's hard to configure. There's a lot of options but it's very hard, it's very confusing."
"If I take into consideration the past three to four years, during which I used the tool, I would say that some missing and external configurations were not possible in the product, and it was a bit difficult to manage."
"There should be more videos and documentation about the new features that are released every month."
"Like most Amazon services, and this one's the same, you're expected to effectively do your own support, and any other support is by emails, so it's quite limited."
"The product's high price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Amazon API Gateway can improve the user interface in some areas it could be more polished."
"A lower price would definitely be an improvement."
"They could include more support tools in the product."
"The improvement needed is related to the model's position. As of now, it seems to be more of a conceptual idea rather than a widely implemented solution. For how long"
"Some of the things that we use cannot be done in this solution. For these things, we have to either use a Java service or a util service. There is no predefined or existing service that we can use. So, we have to work on the util service and write on top of it. Its price can also be better. It is pretty costly because they charge us for each transmission."
"The on-premises setup can be difficult."
