"Amazon stack is easy to use in combination with other Amazon services, so it was a logical continuity."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is a stable solution with an uptime of 99.99 percent."

"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."
"We have found the pricing of the solution to be fair."
"webMethods API Portal is overall very valuable. It is now a comprehensive API catalogue that serves various purposes, including API assessment and evaluation."
"We would like to see more UI-based monitoring."
"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."
"The only real problem is that you have to know a lot about what is outside of the API gateway in order to make the best use of it."
"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."
"A lower price would definitely be an improvement."
"The product's high price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Its support for SAM integration could be made more accessible."
"It's hard to configure. There's a lot of options but it's very hard, it's very confusing."
"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"
