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…
Sudhanshu Singh - PeerSpot reviewer
We get stability, scalability, and security
Axway provides good documentation that newcomers can easily follow, but I believe the initial setup would be tough for someone new. Experienced employees know where everything is and how to do their job, so it would be difficult for a new hire to get up to speed. For an experienced person, I give the initial setup a ten out of ten. Deployment can be considered a hundred lines of code and some a thousand lines. For a simple deployment, it takes 10-15 seconds. And if the environment connectivity is good enough to respond and there is some heavy code that is being deployed, it takes around 30-60 seconds max, if we are referring to the cloud, where the connectivity for the long duration of the calls is there. The total deployment time is one minute to finish up. From the industrial point of view, Europe has a major chunk of users followed by, the US, and then Australia or the Asia-Pacific region.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"API Gateway is out of the box and works well with Amazon products."
"Amazon stack is easy to use in combination with other Amazon services, so it was a logical continuity."
"The product is really good when it comes to API lifecycle management, and it is not just something that includes the balancing part or the security aspect but also the routing and the fallback mechanism."
"It is easy to set up. It is also quick to deploy."
"Its security feature is the most valuable because it is mainly a security solution. It has easy authentication and authorization, and its integration is also useful."
"The Lambda features are very cost-effective since you do not have to run your servers 24/7."
"The solution is solid, robust, and scalable."
"The initial setup is pretty easy. Deployment only takes five minutes."
"This platform can be highly scalable."
"The most valuable features are security enforcement and throttling."
"We like the portal for documentation a lot."
"I don't believe the Salesforce has been fully utilized yet. It gives us quick engagement."
"There's drag and drop functionality so that you do not need to have a senior expert developer to make use of the tool. You can get more of your staff trained up to be able to use it as it's not overly technical."
"The API portal capability is a valuable feature."
"In general, API governance provides a better experience for providers."
"The administration tool for this solution is good."
 

Cons

"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."
"Amazon API Gateway can improve the user interface in some areas it could be more polished."
"When using APIs, the manual bit for intermediate confirmation with VTL can be a challenge."
"When it comes to DDoS protection, I would like to see that become available at the API Gateway level."
"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."
"They could include more support tools in the product."
"There are certain restrictions that cannot be implemented without web access."
"Its support for SAM integration could be made more accessible."
"This solution does have some limitations regarding the deployment model."
"Areas of improvement include marketing and enhancing the data products area by using ETIs."
"Sometimes we find bugs where certain calls are not returning all the data we need."
"The API Mocking tools need to be improved."
"It would be great if they have an asset report. It's hard to get support for that."
"In terms of customer service, the company needs to be easier to contact, and the support team needs to understand the situation and the product itself better."
"The portal still has room for improvement."
"The installation process is a bit complex and it could be a lot simpler."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Amazon API Gateway has various pricing plans, but I cannot give the exact cost, though I can say that it's expensive. On a scale of one to five, I'd rate the pricing for Amazon API Gateway as two, as the solution is one of the most expensive products in the market for API management."
"There are no licensing fees."
"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 solution's price is reasonable."
"Azure products are more cost-effective than AWS solutions"
"This is a pay-per-use service, where you only pay for what you use."
"It's cost-effective, even as our workload and the number of APIs we manage have increased."
"Amazon API Gateway is a very cheaply priced product."
"The solution is expensive. When you acquire a license you have full access to the solution, unlike other competitors such as Apigee X, where there are fragmented licenses. Some licenses only allow access to certain features while others allow access to more features. Upon procuring this solution's license, you will have full access to the solution, allowing you to experiment with all of its features."
