Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Google, Amazon Web Services (AWS) and others in API Management."It's easy to integrate and provide support for existing AWS services if I use the AWS API gateway."
"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 provides the flexibility to configure, switch, and manage configurations through cloud permissions or performance settings."
"It allows us to expose our APIs and provides tools for managing them."
"The solution is stable."
"Amazon stack is easy to use in combination with other Amazon services, so it was a logical continuity."
"The solution is user-friendly."
"The best thing about Amazon API Gateway is that it can authenticate and authorize requests without going to our back end."
"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."
"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."
"A lower price would definitely be an improvement."
"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."
"The tool's UI requires time to understand."
"They could include more support tools in the product."
"It would be useful to have a more complete development environment for the developer, with different integrative capabilities to manage all the life cycles for the API. I think the full version formula for that is really useful. They should improve the development environment for easier integration."
"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."
"Amazon API Gateway needs to focus on minimizing latency."
"The integration could be improved."
"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."
"The on-premises setup can be difficult."
