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."Integrating API Gateway with other AWS services was easy. It worked out of the box, so it worked perfectly."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"One of the most valuable aspects of API Gateway is its native integration with AWS services."
"The solution is a managed service and requires minimal configuration, which makes it easy to launch an API."
"It allows us to expose our APIs and provides tools for managing them."
"All information and data needs to be sanitized before it enters a private domain and we use this solution to do this."
"It is a stable solution."
"It's easy to integrate and provide support for existing AWS services if I use the AWS API gateway."
"You can set up workflows and write limited pieces of logic."
"It is a good product for API management."
"The feature I find most valuable is that this solution allows us to manage our security."
"The scalability is very good. That was a key factor in the selection, like how it could be pushed to high volume and scalability, which seemed to be very good."
"The portal for developers that this solution provides has great functionality."
"The most valuable feature is the load balancing with the circuit-breaker function."
"Amazon API Gateway can improve the user interface in some areas it could be more polished."
"The integration could be improved."
"I believe better governance and monitoring features would be beneficial."
"I am not completely satisfied with Technical Support."
"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."
"Since the first invocation of AWS Lambda takes more than 30 seconds because of Lambda's cold start, Amazon API Gateway blocks that resource, thereby aborting the invocation."
"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."
"We would like to see more UI-based monitoring."
"In terms of our usage, the main area of concern is that they tend to build enhancements slightly ahead of the considerations for what those enhancements and extensions are. So it could be slightly better communication with the customer base that would be my main issue with them."
"It is a young product and does not have the kind of brand recognition that would make it a more popular solution with our clients."
"I would like to see some additional features like having some extensions for .NET core because we use it for our back-end language."
"We would like a better tool for generating documentation for the APIs to be developed."
"Sometimes when new features are released, they are not immediately stable."
"We ran it for a while, but then we decided to move away from Tyk, because Tyk's cloud version, the SaaS version, has a significant limitation of limited flexibility, so you can't program very much."
