We performed a comparison between 3scale API Management and Amazon API Gateway based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two API Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The gateway is the most valuable feature because it makes it possible for us to gather all traffic into one proxy, which is a good thing."
"To me, the most valuable feature of 3scale API Management is that it lets you add a backend to the product. I also like that you can integrate it well with OpenShift clusters, making 3scale API Management a useful solution."
"The standard deployment is very simple."
"The solution is quite lightweight, and the installation is very easy. It's like a two-click installation."
"The product is stable."
"I like the API automation."
"The most valuable features are the gateway and security features."
"3scale API Management's best feature is API management."
"It is easy to set up. It is also quick to deploy."
"This solution gives you a unified way to have your API accessed."
"What I like best about Amazon API Gateway is that it's simple to use, easy to set up, and you can quickly get it up and running. It's a very user-friendly solution. I also didn't experience any issues in terms of Amazon API Gateway interface, integration, or monitoring. The solution runs smoothly."
"t is easy for integrations if it is deployed in AWS Services."
"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."
"Amazon stack is easy to use in combination with other Amazon services, so it was a logical continuity."
"API Gateway offers a multitude of configuration parameters that enable versatile request filtering and protection against potential attacks."
"The user experience could be better. The developer portal is too complex and hard to configure."
"The product is not that flexible for developers. It's less flexible and rigid. It's not easy to make changes or customize it."
"We tried to use the portal, but we decided that it wasn't enough. The content management system (CMS) is not easy to use if you want to customize things, and it's hard to get someone who has the knowledge to work with the CMS."
"It would be helpful to improve the customization features so that the customer can do it based on their own needs."
"3scale API Management only supports restful APIs and doesn't support SOAP."
"I believe the CMS part of it has room for improvement though. That is where you write a couple of things if you want to publish your API. It's based on liquid scripting, which doesn't seem like the obvious ones to script with."
"What was suggested by Red Hat was a crucial part of the configuration, but when we started to ask about the supportability of this configuration, Red Hat said only some parts of the configuration would be supported."
"What I'd like to improve in 3scale API Management is its route-limiting feature. Currently, I don't know how to do that effectively on the solution, but in Kong, I know how to do it, so I would love to see route-limiting being easily done on 3scale API Management. It would also be good if there was some authentication that you could do from 3scale API Management because Kong offers that functionality out of the box. What I'd love to see in the next release of 3scale API Management is the ability to integrate more plug-ins easily onto the platform, so you'll be able to extend it, and even do customs management. If Red Hat could offer that extension where it allows the internal organization where 3scale API Management is deployed on-premise to integrate its tools on top of 3scale API Management and provide an API for that, that will make the solution very powerful."
"API Gateway lacks some governance features that MuleSoft offers, and there are additional features that could make it even better."
"It's hard to configure. There's a lot of options but it's very hard, it's very confusing."
"Amazon API Gateway will wait for only 30 seconds to get a response from other services, such as the Lambda function."
"The course management needs improvement. It's always an issue to set up the course management, especially when you use data form."
"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 could be improved, as well as customer support and having a local customer representative in a country."
"There should be more videos and documentation about the new features that are released every month."
"We faced a few issues with the documentation."
