"In terms of most valuable features, it would say that it is really easy to start working with it."
"Amazon API Gateway is a very fast solution."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"It provides the flexibility to configure, switch, and manage configurations through cloud permissions or performance settings."
"Its security feature is the most valuable because it is mainly a security solution. It has easy authentication and authorization, and its integration is also useful."
"The initial setup is pretty easy. Deployment only takes five minutes."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"webMethods API Portal is overall very valuable. It is now a comprehensive API catalogue that serves various purposes, including API assessment and evaluation."
"We have found the pricing of the solution to be fair."
"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."
"Amazon API Gateway is not as complete as Apigee and needs to be improved by adding more features to become a more robust application."
"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."
"If I take into consideration the past three to four years, during which I used the tool, I would say that some missing and external configurations were not possible in the product, and it was a bit difficult to manage."
"Amazon API Gateway will wait for only 30 seconds to get a response from other services, such as the Lambda function."
"We faced a few issues with the documentation."
"The tool's UI requires time to understand."
"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."
"I am not completely satisfied with Technical Support."
"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."
"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"
