"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."
"The most valuable feature in Amazon API Gateway is the itinerary release."
"It allows us to expose our APIs and provides tools for managing them."
"It is easy to set up. It is also quick to deploy."
"Its security feature is the most valuable because it is mainly a security solution. It has easy authentication and authorization, and its integration is also useful."
"Amazon API Gateway is a very fast solution."
"It's flexible. It was valuable."

"Using API Connect allows us to quickly create proxy APIs and saves time on end-to-end testing, which lets us deliver quickly to clients."
"Policy configurations are pretty easy."
"The technical support is good. Whenever we need anything, we have our IT team work with IBM to change whatever requirement is needed."
"It is easy to use and stable."
"Scalable and stable API platform for creating and managing APIs."
"We really like the runtime capabilities of IBM API Connect. The creation of products and the control of the monetization and hit rate are some of the features which we've found very valuable."
"WSRR is a powerful component for getting the endpoints."
"They could include more support tools in the product."
"I believe better governance and monitoring features would be beneficial."
"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."
"It's hard to configure. There's a lot of options but it's very hard, it's very confusing."
"The only real problem is that you have to know a lot about what is outside of the API gateway in order to make the best use of it."
"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."
"It should be cheaper."
"The developmental process is not quite user-friendly."
"There is room for improvement regarding the connectivity of the DevOps."
"Due to bugs in integration, we have to look for workaround on fixing and using DataPower as gateway."
"The new version is very unstable."
"The solution is overly complex."
"Firstly, the pricing model, when compared to other open sources, is high. Secondly, the availability of resources in the market, specifically the developers available in the market, is not so much."
"The solution is not scalable."
