Additionally, we leverage Lambda functions behind the Amazon API Gateway to query databases, process data, and interact with different systems."

"It provides the flexibility to configure, switch, and manage configurations through cloud permissions or performance settings."
"It is a stable solution."
"One of the most valuable aspects of API Gateway is its native integration with AWS services."
"It allows us to expose our APIs and provides tools for managing them."
"The solution is solid, robust, and scalable."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"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 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."
"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."
"The course management needs improvement. It's always an issue to set up the course management, especially when you use data form."
"We would like to see more UI-based monitoring."
"I am not completely satisfied with Technical Support."
"Monitoring could be improved."
"It's hard to configure. There's a lot of options but it's very hard, it's very confusing."
"They could include more support tools in the product."
"The integration could be improved."
"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."
"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."
