We performed a comparison between Amazon API Gateway and webMethods API Gateway 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."The solution is a managed service and requires minimal configuration, which makes it easy to launch an API."
"This solution is useful for making new APIs."
"All information and data needs to be sanitized before it enters a private domain and we use this solution to do this."
"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 best thing about Amazon API Gateway is that it can authenticate and authorize requests without going to our back end."
"The solution is stable."
"It is very helpful, with our API-based applications."
"Amazon API Gateway is a very fast solution."
"The cloud version of the solution is very easy to set up."
"It's a good tool, and it has a stable messaging broker."
"Within the new version, webMethods API Gateway gives us an end-to-end lifecycle from the creation of the API up into the development, deployment, and promotion into production/live. The current end-to-end lifecycle of the API gives us enough authority and governance of the API. We know what are currently live services, what is in the testing stage of development, and what version that has been commissioned. So, the full life cycle itself gives us full authority and governance of the API."
"This solution has given us a competitive advantage because we have better automation and insight."
"In the API gateway, there is a new feature that allows us to filter logs within a payload. This has been a useful feature."
"The most valuable aspect of this solution for me has been the configuration-based UI. Once you get the hang of it, it enables you to easily develop an API. In addition, it has many in-built policies that are quite handy."
"I like the solution's policies, transformation, mediation, and routing features."
"The developer portal is a valuable feature."
"The solution could improve signature validation."
"When working with XML payloads, there can be issues due to the lack of a seamless connection between API Gateway and Lambda functions."
"It's hard to configure. There's a lot of options but it's very hard, it's very confusing."
"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."
"Their support services come at a considerable cost, leaving room for improvement."
"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."
"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."
"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 price has room for improvement."
"In terms of improvements, maybe on the API monetization side, having users able to create separate consumption plans and throttle all those consumption plans towards the run time could be better."
"The high price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"With respect to the API gateway, the runtime component, the stability after a new release is something that can be improved."
"They should develop clear visibility for the onboarding."
"The configuring of the JWT token would be improved as it is a confusing process. We require more information on this part of the solution."
"It is an expensive solution and not very suitable for smaller businesses."
"With performance, there is room for improvement in regards to if we would like to put another extra layer of security on it, such as SSL. This is affecting their performance quite significantly. They need to improve the process of managing the SSL and other things inside their solutions, so there will not be quite such a significant impact to the performance."
