Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Google, Amazon Web Services (AWS) and others in API Management."Integrating API Gateway with other AWS services was easy. It worked out of the box, so it worked perfectly."
"One of the most valuable aspects of API Gateway is its native integration with AWS services."
"It is very helpful, with our API-based applications."
"API Gateway offers a multitude of configuration parameters that enable versatile request filtering and protection against potential attacks."
"In terms of scalability, I haven't encountered any issues with API Gateway. We've significantly increased our traffic from hitting it once or twice a minute to now hitting it ten to fifteen times within a minute. In an hour, we're receiving hundreds of hits. So, it's performing excellently."
"It is a stable solution."
"Amazon stack is easy to use in combination with other Amazon services, so it was a logical continuity."
"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."
"We have found the pricing of the solution to be fair."
"webMethods API Portal is overall very valuable. It is now a comprehensive API catalogue that serves various purposes, including API assessment and evaluation."
"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."
"Its support for SAM integration could be made more accessible."
"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."
"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 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."
"Amazon API Gateway can improve the user interface in some areas it could be more polished."
"Its performance and scalability could be better compared to one of its competitors."
"The API Gateway lacks the capability to directly facilitate API strategy development or user onboarding workflows."
"When it comes to DDoS protection, I would like to see that become available at the API Gateway level."
"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 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"
"The on-premises setup can be difficult."
