We performed a comparison between Amazon API Gateway and Tyk based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."This solution is useful for making new APIs."
"It is very helpful, with our API-based applications."
"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."
"The initial setup is pretty easy. Deployment only takes five minutes."
"Amazon API Gateway facilitates our serverless architecture, particularly with Lambda, by allowing us to perform various tasks. For instance, Lambda functions authorize API calls, execute multiple workloads, and integrate with other services like Azure and Kubernetes. Additionally, we leverage Lambda functions behind the Amazon API Gateway to query databases, process data, and interact with different systems."
"It's easy to integrate and provide support for existing AWS services if I use the AWS API gateway."
"The solution is stable."
"You can set up workflows and write limited pieces of logic."
"The feature I find most valuable is that this solution allows us to manage our security."
"It is a good product for API management."
"The most valuable feature is the load balancing with the circuit-breaker function."
"The portal for developers that this solution provides has great functionality."
"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 API Gateway lacks the capability to directly facilitate API strategy development or user onboarding workflows."
"Amazon API Gateway will wait for only 30 seconds to get a response from other services, such as the Lambda function."
"Monitoring could be improved."
"The product's high price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"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."
"Their support services come at a considerable cost, leaving room for improvement."
"When working with XML payloads, there can be issues due to the lack of a seamless connection between API Gateway and Lambda functions."
"It would be useful to have a more complete development environment for the developer, with different integrative capabilities to manage all the life cycles for the API. I think the full version formula for that is really useful. They should improve the development environment for easier integration."
"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."
"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."
"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."
