"What I like best about Amazon API Gateway is that it's simple to use, easy to set up, and you can quickly get it up and running. It's a very user-friendly solution. I also didn't experience any issues in terms of Amazon API Gateway interface, integration, or monitoring. The solution runs smoothly."
"It is very helpful, with our API-based applications."
"Amazon stack is easy to use in combination with other Amazon services, so it was a logical continuity."
"Integrating API Gateway with other AWS services was easy. It worked out of the box, so it worked perfectly."
"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 technical support is very strong. We've had issues with the solution and configuration and we got very good support."
"t is easy for integrations if it is deployed in AWS Services."
"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 feature I find most valuable is that this solution allows us to manage our security."
"It is a good product for API management."
"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."
"You can set up workflows and write limited pieces of logic."
"The user interface could be improved, as well as customer support and having a local customer representative in a country."
"Amazon API Gateway can improve the user interface in some areas it could be more polished."
"The solution could improve signature validation."
"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."
"When working with XML payloads, there can be issues due to the lack of a seamless connection between API Gateway and Lambda functions."
"API Gateway lacks some governance features that MuleSoft offers, and there are additional features that could make it even better."
"When it comes to DDoS protection, I would like to see that become available at the API Gateway level."
"It's hard to configure. There's a lot of options but it's very hard, it's very confusing."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
