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

"The Cognito authorization integration is very useful, along with the easy multi-region integration and connectivity with various AWS services like SQS, SNS, and Lambda functions."
"From my perspective of ease of use, it is very good."
"The solution is a managed service and requires minimal configuration, which makes it easy to launch an API."
"It's easy to integrate and provide support for existing AWS services if I use the AWS API gateway."
"Amazon stack is easy to use in combination with other Amazon services, so it was a logical continuity."
"In terms of scalability, I haven't encountered any issues with API Gateway. We've significantly increased our traffic from hitting it once or twice a minute to now hitting it ten to fifteen times within a minute. In an hour, we're receiving hundreds of hits. So, it's performing excellently."
"API Gateway is out of the box and works well with Amazon products."
"It's flexible. It was valuable."
"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."
"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."
 

Cons

"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 is not as complete as Apigee and needs to be improved by adding more features to become a more robust application."
"It's hard to configure. There's a lot of options but it's very hard, it's very confusing."
"The price could be lower."
"An interface more friendly for new users would be helpful."
"Their support services come at a considerable cost, leaving room for improvement."
"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."
"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."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"There are no licensing fees."
"It is somewhat costly, particularly when it introduces server-related features, which are often scheduled on our end."
"The solution is expensive. Though the product was previously available at a cheap rate, nowadays it is expensive."
"Since it's a serverless solution, Amazon API Gateway is not so expensive."
"Amazon API Gateway is a very cheaply priced product."
"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."
"I am satisfied with the price."
"Oracle is not a cheap solution and it is not affordable for all of our clients in Portugal."
