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…
Sagar SampadMall - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides robust security for financial transactions and protects the ERP database from direct exposure
My main feedback is about the account management. I feel they should connect with clients more frequently, beyond just selling the product. They should actively seek feedback and tailor the approach to client needs. It shouldn't always be about pushing additional products. My main suggestion is focused solely on the account management approach, specifically fostering closer and more proactive client relationships. So, the pricing could also be bit improvement.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The best features of Amazon API Gateway include security and metering, which involves the analytical part of how the APIs are being consumed since it's for consumer APIs built for use by other applications."
"Stability is excellent."
"It provides the flexibility to configure, switch, and manage configurations through cloud permissions or performance settings."
"The solution is user-friendly."
"This solution gives you a unified way to have your API accessed."
"It is a stable solution."
"API Gateway is out of the box and works well with Amazon products."
"It is very secure, easy to manage, and easy to configure. It is a web-based API. Moreover, we get direct support from Oracle guys."
"The security, the authentication, and the publishing qualities are great."
"The initial setup isn't overly difficult."
"The most valuable features for us are security and centralization."
 

Cons

"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."
"There are features lacking in API Gateway, such as the timeout settings, which currently are set at 29 seconds."
"Their support services come at a considerable cost, leaving room for improvement."
"Amazon API Gateway can improve the user interface in some areas it could be more polished."
"API Gateway could improve by allowing debugging capabilities, particularly when dealing with high volumes. At scale, it is expensive, and latency sometimes occurs."
"Amazon API Gateway is not as complete as Apigee and needs to be improved by adding more features to become a more robust application."
"An interface more friendly for new users would be helpful."
"Its performance and scalability could be better compared to one of its competitors."
"Before gaining experience with the product, I found that it was not simple to use and things took longer to do than I had anticipated."
"From an administration and developer point of view, the user interface and user experience are not great."
"Oracle should actively seek feedback and tailor the approach to client needs. It shouldn't always be about pushing additional products."
"We'd like it if they could reduce the cost without sacrificing on features."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is expensive."
"Fees are volume-based."
"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."
"I rate the tool's price as seven on a scale of one to ten, where one means low price and ten means high price."
"We use all open-source technology."
"There are no licensing fees."
"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."
"Oracle is not a cheap solution and it is not affordable for all of our clients in Portugal."
