"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."

"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."
"I believe the API connectivity within the cloud marketplace is most valuable."
"The tool has a private area. It also has a cloud deployment option."
"The most valuable feature of Mulesoft Anypoint API Manager is the gateway that is provided."

"Its support for SAM integration could be made more accessible."
"When working with XML payloads, there can be issues due to the lack of a seamless connection between API Gateway and Lambda functions."
"Its performance and scalability could be better compared to one of its competitors."
"From a use cases perspective, you need to have an internal and external gateway. AWS can only handle external traffic so has to be used together with another solution."
"Amazon API Gateway needs to focus on minimizing latency."
"Migrating any existing middleware platform to Mulesoft is difficult because of the transformation, conversion and integration involved. Better tools are needed to achieve quicker time to market."
"We have issues with the tool's pricing. The product seemed to have most of the features required for the tasks I was working on. I didn't feel the need for additional features. However, one aspect that could be improved is making the platform more user-friendly for non-technical users. While it's not necessarily complex, it does require some familiarity. Unlike open-source tools available online, accessing and using this product may not be as straightforward. It needs to offer training to its users."
"Rather than focusing on numbers, they should focus more on the customer support service."
"The cost model could be improved."
"The pricing is a bit expensive."
"An area for improvement in MuleSoft Anypoint API Manager is the process of applying policies because it's manual. It would be great if MuleSoft could make the process easier, particularly by automating it."
"The log management for this solution needs improvement."
"I'd like more monitoring and analyzing features included in the future."
