"This solution gives you a unified way to have your API accessed."
"The solution is user-friendly."
"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."

"The best thing about Amazon API Gateway is that it can authenticate and authorize requests without going to our back end."
"Integrating API Gateway with other AWS services was easy. It worked out of the box, so it worked perfectly."
"The solution is stable."

"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."
"The tool's UI requires time to understand."
"Amazon API Gateway is not as complete as Apigee and needs to be improved by adding more features to become a more robust application."

"Based on our recent large scaling project, the latency needs to be improved."
"They don't have different URLs for administrators."
"From a product perspective, the first thing is that although the documentation provided by WSO2 is good, it could be much better. We're in the middle of a complex migration, moving away from VMs to Kubernetes with the latest version of WSO2 and good documentation is essential to us right now."
"For fresh graduates and engineers, the setup process can be very difficult."
"The user interface needs to improve, it is a bit outdated."
"Basically, mTLS is a certificate-based communication protocol that WSO2 API Manager doesn't support."
"Providing easy configuration for email and SMS notifications, layout and customization of admin and developer landing pages."
