We performed a comparison between Amazon API Gateway and webMethods API Gateway based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two API Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is a stable solution with an uptime of 99.99 percent."
"The product is really good when it comes to API lifecycle management, and it is not just something that includes the balancing part or the security aspect but also the routing and the fallback mechanism."
"The solution is stable."
"The best thing about Amazon API Gateway is that it can authenticate and authorize requests without going to our back end."
"The solution is user-friendly."
"This solution is useful for making new APIs."
"The solution is a managed service and requires minimal configuration, which makes it easy to launch an API."
"It is easy to set up. It is also quick to deploy."
"I like the solution's policies, transformation, mediation, and routing features."
"This solution has given us a competitive advantage because we have better automation and insight."
"In the API gateway, there is a new feature that allows us to filter logs within a payload. This has been a useful feature."
"The developer portal is a valuable feature."
"What I like the most about the solution is that it comes with ready-made tools like handling security tokens and OAuth."
"The cloud version of the solution is very easy to set up."
"It's a good tool, and it has a stable messaging broker."
"The most valuable aspect of this solution for me has been the configuration-based UI. Once you get the hang of it, it enables you to easily develop an API. In addition, it has many in-built policies that are quite handy."
"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."
"Its performance and scalability could be better compared to one of its competitors."
"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."
"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."
"There should be more videos and documentation about the new features that are released every month."
"When working with XML payloads, there can be issues due to the lack of a seamless connection between API Gateway and Lambda functions."
"In terms of improvements, maybe on the API monetization side, having users able to create separate consumption plans and throttle all those consumption plans towards the run time could be better."
"They should develop clear visibility for the onboarding."
"The high price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"With respect to the API gateway, the runtime component, the stability after a new release is something that can be improved."
"The price has room for improvement."
"There are things that could be improved with the webMethods API gateway. One thing is that it's too attached to the integration service and we'd like it to be a little bit more independent. We would like for them to separate operations so that it doesn't rely on the bulky integration server and so that it can be used everywhere."
"The configuring of the JWT token would be improved as it is a confusing process. We require more information on this part of the solution."
"Understanding the overall architecture is difficult."
