Rahul Kundu - PeerSpot reviewer
Cost-effective serverless routing with room for extended timeout settings
We are using API Gateway to route the traffic to our Lambdas. Every API pass is linked to some of the Lambdas. When traffic hits CloudFront, it redirects it to API Gateway, which then redirects it to the respective Lambda server. We have different kinds of services invoked through these Lambdas…
Sudhanshu Singh - PeerSpot reviewer
We get stability, scalability, and security
Axway provides good documentation that newcomers can easily follow, but I believe the initial setup would be tough for someone new. Experienced employees know where everything is and how to do their job, so it would be difficult for a new hire to get up to speed. For an experienced person, I give the initial setup a ten out of ten. Deployment can be considered a hundred lines of code and some a thousand lines. For a simple deployment, it takes 10-15 seconds. And if the environment connectivity is good enough to respond and there is some heavy code that is being deployed, it takes around 30-60 seconds max, if we are referring to the cloud, where the connectivity for the long duration of the calls is there. The total deployment time is one minute to finish up. From the industrial point of view, Europe has a major chunk of users followed by, the US, and then Australia or the Asia-Pacific region.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It is very helpful, with our API-based applications."
"The solution is stable."
"This solution gives you a unified way to have your API accessed."
"Amazon API Gateway can integrate with ECS and Lambda."
"It is a stable solution."
"Amazon stack is easy to use in combination with other Amazon services, so it was a logical continuity."
"The best thing about Amazon API Gateway is that it can authenticate and authorize requests without going to our back end."
"All information and data needs to be sanitized before it enters a private domain and we use this solution to do this."
"In general, API governance provides a better experience for providers."
"There's drag and drop functionality so that you do not need to have a senior expert developer to make use of the tool. You can get more of your staff trained up to be able to use it as it's not overly technical."
"I don't believe the Salesforce has been fully utilized yet. It gives us quick engagement."
"The most valuable features are security enforcement and throttling."
"The API portal capability is a valuable feature."
"We like the portal for documentation a lot."
"The administration tool for this solution is good."
"This product is a ten when it comes to API management."
 

Cons

"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."
"Amazon API Gateway can improve the user interface in some areas it could be more polished."
"There should be more videos and documentation about the new features that are released every month."
"We faced a few issues with the documentation."
"Amazon API Gateway will wait for only 30 seconds to get a response from other services, such as the Lambda function."
"I believe that there could be more features associated with analytics since it is an area where the product lacks."
"The tool's UI requires time to understand."
"The price could be lower."
"The areas for enhancement should be improving certain filters within the solution. Although they are generally functional, there are occasional problems that could be more precisely adjusted. Additionally, the solution performs well within its workload limitations, but it may not be suitable for scaling up or managing a larger volume of transactions through the gateway. To address this, it may be necessary to adopt a unique architecture rather than relying on traditional pre-packaged options."
"The portal still has room for improvement."
"It would be great if they have an asset report. It's hard to get support for that."
"Team management capabilities could be improved."
"In terms of customer service, the company needs to be easier to contact, and the support team needs to understand the situation and the product itself better."
"Sometimes we find bugs where certain calls are not returning all the data we need."
"Areas of improvement include marketing and enhancing the data products area by using ETIs."
"The API Mocking tools need to be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I am satisfied with the price."
"Fees are volume-based."
"The solution's price is reasonable."
"My understanding is that it easily goes to $14,000 or $15,000 USD each month for each account, and we have several such accounts."
"The product is expensive."
"The product is a little expensive."
"The solution is expensive. Though the product was previously available at a cheap rate, nowadays it is expensive."
"Azure products are more cost-effective than AWS solutions"
"The solution is expensive. When you acquire a license you have full access to the solution, unlike other competitors such as Apigee X, where there are fragmented licenses. Some licenses only allow access to certain features while others allow access to more features. Upon procuring this solution's license, you will have full access to the solution, allowing you to experiment with all of its features."
