Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Google, Amazon Web Services (AWS) and others in API Management."The solution is a managed service and requires minimal configuration, which makes it easy to launch an API."
"It provides the flexibility to configure, switch, and manage configurations through cloud permissions or performance settings."
"API Gateway offers a multitude of configuration parameters that enable versatile request filtering and protection against potential attacks."
"The product is stable."
"This solution gives you a unified way to have your API accessed."
"It allows us to expose our APIs and provides tools for managing them."
"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."
"It's flexible. It was valuable."
"We have found the pricing of the solution to be fair."
"webMethods API Portal is overall very valuable. It is now a comprehensive API catalogue that serves various purposes, including API assessment and evaluation."
"It is good for communicating between the systems and for publishing and subscribing. We can easily retrieve data. It is good in terms of troubleshooting and other things."
"The solution could improve signature validation."
"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 product's high price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"We would like to see more UI-based monitoring."
"Its performance and scalability could be better compared to one of its competitors."
"I believe better governance and monitoring features would be beneficial."
"When working with XML payloads, there can be issues due to the lack of a seamless connection between API Gateway and Lambda functions."
"The on-premises setup can be difficult."
"The improvement needed is related to the model's position. As of now, it seems to be more of a conceptual idea rather than a widely implemented solution. For how long"
"Some of the things that we use cannot be done in this solution. For these things, we have to either use a Java service or a util service. There is no predefined or existing service that we can use. So, we have to work on the util service and write on top of it. Its price can also be better. It is pretty costly because they charge us for each transmission."
