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…
AftabAlam - PeerSpot reviewer
Trust and reliability have been established with long-term usage and significant integration benefits
TIBCO Cloud API Management offers API management plus the ability to orchestrate all inbound and outbound API calls. When an API is exposed to the external system, it functions as a single integration. Behind the scenes, you can perform extensive API modeling, aggregation, and downstream systems can have more than one API and give the response back to a single API call. It has many features such as orchestration rule engine, which makes it quite good. TIBCO Cloud API Management has brought numerous benefits for our organization, especially in product maturity and support. Sales and support are strong areas, and I think it is very good. If they do not get the right support, then they should consider other options. The sales and support also provides cost optimization.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The technical support is very strong. We've had issues with the solution and configuration and we got very good support."
"Amazon API Gateway can integrate with ECS and Lambda."
"It's a low-code solution that helps our company manage operations seamlessly"
"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."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The best thing about Amazon API Gateway is that it can authenticate and authorize requests without going to our back end."
"Amazon stack is easy to use in combination with other Amazon services, so it was a logical continuity."
"API Gateway offers a multitude of configuration parameters that enable versatile request filtering and protection against potential attacks."
"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."
"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."
"It is easy to work with ."
"Very few outages or SLA issues."
"The platform's most valuable features are its capabilities to support security measures such as tokenization, token refresh, throttling, and enforcement of payloads."
"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."
"The most valuable aspect of Mashery is its stability."
 

Cons

"There are certain restrictions that cannot be implemented without web access."
"I'd appreciate improvements in the user interface to make it more understandable, especially for new AWS users."
"Their support services come at a considerable cost, leaving room for improvement."
"The integration could be improved."
"A lower price would definitely be an improvement."
"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."
"I believe better governance and monitoring features would be beneficial."
"It's hard to configure. There's a lot of options but it's very hard, it's very confusing."
"The management console of API and customers' applications are not the most intuitive."
"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."
"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."
"We observed delays under heavy load conditions, and without proper tuning, changes could take an extended period to filter and become effective."
"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."
"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

"This is a pay-per-use service, where you only pay for what you use."
"There is an annual licensing cost to use Amazon API Gateway."
"The solution's pricing is cheap and based on the number of requests coming to Amazon API Gateway."
"Fees are volume-based."
"The product is a little expensive."
"The product is expensive."

"The solution's price is reasonable."
"TIBCO Cloud API Management is not an expensive solution."
"We have secured terms on which we have been happy to renew for a number of years."
"Licensing is quite flexible."
"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."
