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…
Amitava Roy - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers pre-built packages for quick and easy onboarding of APIs but configuration is not that easy
The configuration is not that easy. It's not that user-friendly, and security-wise when you try to implement the security layer on top of it, it's not that easy either. There are certain things where the performance is not that great. When the traffic is huge, we see some lag in performance.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's easy to integrate and provide support for existing AWS services if I use the AWS API gateway."
"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."
"t is easy for integrations if it is deployed in AWS Services."
"It's a low-code solution that helps our company manage operations seamlessly"
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is a stable solution with an uptime of 99.99 percent."
"The solution is solid, robust, and scalable."
"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."
"Stability is excellent."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to have different packages based on the API keys. The same core system can have different packages based on different environments."
"Very few outages or SLA issues."
"TIBCO Cloud API Management has brought numerous benefits for our organization, especially in product maturity and support."
"The reason why we selected the solution originally was because of its ability to have a gateway both on-premise and in the cloud. This is the most valuable aspect of the solution for us."
"This has provided a new stream of traffic and exposure of our catalogue beyond the normal web store offering."
"The control that we have and the security features are very valuable. With regard to API implementation or API orchestration, it works very well in the cloud because as soon as you create an API with one click, you can actually expose your APIs."
"It is easy to work with ."
"The solution is a good general API manager. They have a few propriety features but are offering items that are standard in the industry as well."
 

Cons

"Its performance and scalability could be better compared to one of its competitors."
"The solution should include change data capture (CDC) features that will help reduce workload"
"I would say Amazon API Gateway is a bit costly, but considering the feature level, it is very good."
"It would be useful to have a more complete development environment for the developer, with different integrative capabilities to manage all the life cycles for the API. I think the full version formula for that is really useful. They should improve the development environment for easier integration."
"Currently, I'm not facing any issues with Amazon API Gateway, which satisfies my requirements. I'm pretty happy with what Amazon API Gateway offers, but as its pricing is on the higher side, that's one area for improvement in the solution. What I'd like to see in the next release of Amazon API Gateway is an improvement in the status checks you get from the monitoring feature of the solution. Currently, you get the number of requests received, the number of reports, etc., but if there are more details than what's given by Amazon API Gateway, that will improve the solution."
"Amazon API Gateway is not as complete as Apigee and needs to be improved by adding more features to become a more robust application."
"A lower price would definitely be an improvement."
"Amazon API Gateway can improve the user interface in some areas it could be more polished."
"The security needs improvement, specifically, propagation of security to an API. Calling other APIs is something that is missing in the product and that makes us think about going to a competitor."
"It lacks many features at the API gateway compared to other solutions."
"The management console of API and customers' applications are not the most intuitive."
"I'd like to see TIBCO integrate authentication and security features into Mashery."
"We observed delays under heavy load conditions, and without proper tuning, changes could take an extended period to filter and become effective."
"It's not that user-friendly, and security-wise when you try to implement the security layer on top of it, it's not that easy either."
"Policy management has been a bit of a concern."
"Monetization is not that great in API management. You need customization. Improvements are needed with sandbox local as well as with monetization. Those features are missing."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is a little expensive."
"Azure products are more cost-effective than AWS solutions"
"I rate the platform's pricing a five out of ten."
"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."
"The product is expensive."
"The solution's price is reasonable."
"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."
"The product can be described as a medium-priced solution, but its cost is higher than Azure."
"Licensing is quite flexible."
"TIBCO Cloud API Management is not an expensive solution."
"Its price is pretty reasonable. There are some lightweight API options available in the market, but given the feature set that TIBCO provides, its price is really reasonable."
"We have secured terms on which we have been happy to renew for a number of years."
