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."It provides the flexibility to configure, switch, and manage configurations through cloud permissions or performance settings."
"Amazon API Gateway can integrate with ECS and Lambda."
"Amazon API Gateway is a very fast solution."
"All information and data needs to be sanitized before it enters a private domain and we use this solution to do this."
"Amazon stack is easy to use in combination with other Amazon services, so it was a logical continuity."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"It is a stable solution."
"This solution is useful for making new APIs."
"This solution is ready to scale and already supports our agile CICD."
"Since it runs on top of Datapower, all Datapower based custom policies can be utilized and exported to API connect but its not straightforward/simple process."
"The support is good and active. I rate the technical support a nine out of ten."
"The centralized management: this provides a management module that can deploy and apply security policies to all APIs, including all the gateways that are deployed on-premises and on any cloud because the gateway component can run at a VMware or in a Kubernetes cluster."
"Scalable and stable API platform for creating and managing APIs."
"It's quite flexible and easy to deploy, especially for beginners. It has almost all the features that an API gateway should have."
"In-built policies and security functions."
"The capabilities are very good."
"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."
"The user interface could be improved, as well as customer support and having a local customer representative in a country."
"The API Gateway lacks the capability to directly facilitate API strategy development or user onboarding workflows."
"There should be more videos and documentation about the new features that are released every month."
"Amazon API Gateway can improve the user interface in some areas it could be more polished."
"I am not completely satisfied with Technical Support."
"There are certain restrictions that cannot be implemented without web access."
"The user interface, in general, can be better. The user interface for the entire Amazon cloud can be more friendly. There are some scenarios that are not really easy to manage and configure through the user interface."
"It needs to be less taxing on compute resources."
"The solution is overly complex."
"Understanding the architecture, deployment criteria, and communication methods of the installation can be time-consuming."
"The solution is not scalable."
"The platform’s integration with the payment gateway needs enhancement. The setup process and support services could be improved."
"They seem to have left out a feature for microservices and also a certification module for OIDC."
"The installation process could use improvement. I hope that in the next release, the installation process is easier."
"IBM info-center help documentation also needs improvement. Competitive product like Apigee provide out of the box policies to run Javascript, JAVA and better/flexible logging policies."
