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…
ShashankRavikumar - PeerSpot reviewer
Enables real-time insights and secure API management for efficient customer interactions
The main improvement needed is the ability to have different base URLs for HTTP and HTTPS for different clients. Currently, I can have only one base URL for one atom. It would help if I could set up a proxy with different URLs within Boomi as a simple configuration instead of needing external applications. Also, Boomi can integrate AI to manage backend loads and provide insights into runtime engine consumption.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It provides the flexibility to configure, switch, and manage configurations through cloud permissions or performance settings."
"All information and data needs to be sanitized before it enters a private domain and we use this solution to do this."
"What I like best about Amazon API Gateway is that it's simple to use, easy to set up, and you can quickly get it up and running. It's a very user-friendly solution. I also didn't experience any issues in terms of Amazon API Gateway interface, integration, or monitoring. The solution runs smoothly."
"In terms of most valuable features, it would say that it is really easy to start working with it."
"The product is stable."
"The solution is stable."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"Amazon stack is easy to use in combination with other Amazon services, so it was a logical continuity."
"The product's stability is good."
"The stability of the solution is good."
"AtomSphere is tightly integrated into the Boomi iPaaS platform. And Boomi has been augmenting AtomSphere API Management for the past couple of years so version 2.0 is better than 1.0."
"We can develop almost any interface that we need."
"Boomi allows for more secure URLs and easy customization of HTTP and HTTPS protocols, which I find very beneficial."
"We can create APIs straightforwardly and quickly and build jobs for data migration."
"AtomSphere API Management is a simple platform that's easy to use. If you're using it on-prem, there's a little learning curve."
"Integrations take less time."
 

Cons

"From a use cases perspective, you need to have an internal and external gateway. AWS can only handle external traffic so has to be used together with another solution."
"There are features lacking in API Gateway, such as the timeout settings, which currently are set at 29 seconds."
"Amazon API Gateway needs to focus on minimizing latency."
"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."
"I believe better governance and monitoring features would be beneficial."
"The solution could improve signature validation."
"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."
"When it comes to DDoS protection, I would like to see that become available at the API Gateway level."
"From an improvement perspective, the price could be cheaper."
"The product is really complex to manage."
"Boomi AtomSphere API Management can be improved in terms of threshold management and policy management."
"Scalability is an area where Boomi lacks."
"It's difficult to integrate the on-prem application with the Dell Boomi Cloud. We have to check to ensure the Dell domain engine is running. It just requires some service endpoints from our on-prem application to connect to Dell Boomi Cloud to make it available to integrate. It would be better if AtomSphere API Management were offered as a purely SaaS application, so I wouldn't need an on-prem component to make it available. We could make a test call or provide some connection parameters. That should enable it to pull the data."
"The API management has room for improvement."
"The solution must provide more AI services."
"To some degree, you need to know what type or amount of API you are creating - whether it's a rest API or web service API. You need to know ETL in order to really get the most out of Boomi."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing model for API Gateway is advantageous due to its serverless nature, as it depends on traffic volume."
"This is a pay-per-use service, where you only pay for what you use."
"The solution's price is reasonable."
"Since it's a serverless solution, Amazon API Gateway is not so expensive."
"The product is a little expensive."
"It is somewhat costly, particularly when it introduces server-related features, which are often scheduled on our end."
"Amazon API Gateway is a very cheaply priced product."
"AWS charges for data ingress and egress, which could be further reduced. This would be helpful for customers dealing with large amounts of data coming in or going out from their systems."
"Boomi AtomSphere API Management is a cheap product."
"Boomi AtomSphere API Management gives customers a good price. Price-wise, the product is good."
"The product can get very expensive quickly if you connect to multiple databases."
"The price is reasonable."
