Dinesh Agrawalla - PeerSpot reviewer
Requires minimal configuration and easy-to-launch
I would like to improve the restrictions and security elements of the solution, as there are certain configurations that are not currently supported. There are certain restrictions that cannot be implemented without web access. In the next release, I would like a feature that can validate requests and filter out any jQuery injections. Additionally, I would like to prioritize these requests. I've noticed that such features are usually not available in web applications.
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

"This solution is useful for making new APIs."
"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."
"API Gateway is out of the box and works well with Amazon products."
"The solution is a managed service and requires minimal configuration, which makes it easy to launch an API."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"It is very helpful, with our API-based applications."
"API Gateway is out of the box and works well with Amazon products."
"It's easy to integrate and provide support for existing AWS services if I use the AWS API gateway."
"We can completely manage the APIs at the org level and BU (business unit) level."
"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."
"It has something called packages. In that way, it's good because we have some pre-built packages. So, if you want to onboard different APIs, we can just add them to the package, and it's there."
"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."
"The most valuable aspect of Mashery is its stability."
"Conversion to RESTful and SOAP protocols and management console (can manage individually throttled settings to manage our service levels for customers)."
"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."
"The platform's most valuable features are its capabilities to support security measures such as tokenization, token refresh, throttling, and enforcement of payloads."
 

Cons

"Monitoring could be improved."
"The pricing could be improved. In cases where customers require real-time sync or real-time calling groups with IoT, the volume of data and time lag become a concern."
"There are features lacking in API Gateway, such as the timeout settings, which currently are set at 29 seconds."
"The solution could improve signature validation."
"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."
"When using APIs, the manual bit for intermediate confirmation with VTL can be a challenge."
"Amazon API Gateway will wait for only 30 seconds to get a response from other services, such as the Lambda function."
"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."
"The management console of API and customers' applications are not the most intuitive."
"The way agile life cycle is working needs improvement. I also want to see more support for open API standards. I want to see some improvement on the protocol transformation. That is quite missing now. These are the three main issues."
"They can fix some stability issues and probably make it more user-friendly so that not only an IT savvy person but an end-user can also easily navigate through this solution."
"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."
"TIBCO Cloud API Management should improve its installation and make it easy."
"I'd like to see TIBCO integrate authentication and security features into Mashery."
"It lacks many features at the API gateway compared to other solutions."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Amazon API Gateway is a very cheaply priced product."
"The product is expensive."
"The solution is expensive. Though the product was previously available at a cheap rate, nowadays it is expensive."
"The product is a little expensive."
"Azure products are more cost-effective than AWS solutions"
"It is somewhat costly, particularly when it introduces server-related features, which are often scheduled on our end."
"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."
"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."
"Licensing is quite flexible."
