Sampreeth Amith Kumar - PeerSpot reviewer
Efficient backend connectivity and adequate support with room for UI enhancement
I'd appreciate improvements in the user interface to make it more understandable, especially for new AWS users. Documentation can be confusing at times, so more details on the connection between the API Gateway and backend services would be helpful. Additionally, a local version of the API Gateway would be beneficial for testing purposes without incurring extra costs.
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

"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 offers a multitude of configuration parameters that enable versatile request filtering and protection against potential attacks."
"The best thing about Amazon API Gateway is that it can authenticate and authorize requests without going to our back end."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"One of the most valuable aspects of API Gateway is its native integration with AWS services."
"The solution is a managed service and requires minimal configuration, which makes it easy to launch an API."
"All information and data needs to be sanitized before it enters a private domain and we use this solution to do this."
"The initial setup is pretty easy. Deployment only takes five minutes."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is security."
"The administration tool for this solution is good."
"In general, API governance provides a better experience for providers."
"The API portal capability is a valuable feature."
"We like the portal for documentation a lot."
"This platform can be highly scalable."
"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 best feature of Axway Amplify API Management is its exceptional level of security, which is highly reassuring, coupled with its remarkable capacity to handle substantial volumes of data in impressively efficient turnaround times."
 

Cons

"Amazon API Gateway will wait for only 30 seconds to get a response from other services, such as the Lambda function."
"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 should be more videos and documentation about the new features that are released every month."
"Its performance and scalability could be better compared to one of its competitors."
"It's hard to configure. There's a lot of options but it's very hard, it's very confusing."
"The course management needs improvement. It's always an issue to set up the course management, especially when you use data form."
"I'd appreciate improvements in the user interface to make it more understandable, especially for new AWS users."
"They could include more support tools in the product."
"The areas for enhancement should be improving certain filters within the solution. Although they are generally functional, there are occasional problems that could be more precisely adjusted. Additionally, the solution performs well within its workload limitations, but it may not be suitable for scaling up or managing a larger volume of transactions through the gateway. To address this, it may be necessary to adopt a unique architecture rather than relying on traditional pre-packaged options."
"The portal still has room for improvement."
"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 installation process is a bit complex and it could be a lot simpler."
"This solution does have some limitations regarding the deployment model."
"Areas of improvement include marketing and enhancing the data products area by using ETIs."
"The API Mocking tools need to be improved."
"The product shows a lack of maturity. The setup is difficult, the tech support and community are lacking, and it is not very stable."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"My understanding is that it easily goes to $14,000 or $15,000 USD each month for each account, and we have several such accounts."
"I rate the platform's pricing a five out of ten."
"It is somewhat costly, particularly when it introduces server-related features, which are often scheduled on our end."
"The solution's pricing is cheap and based on the number of requests coming to Amazon API Gateway."
"The product can be described as a medium-priced solution, but its cost is higher than Azure."
"Amazon API Gateway is a very cheaply priced product."
"There is an annual licensing cost to use Amazon API Gateway."
"Since it's a serverless solution, Amazon API Gateway is not so expensive."
"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."
