PT
Architect at Birlasoft IndiaLtd.
Strong technical support and effective toolset improve workflow but setup process requires refinement
I have experience with Nintex and K2, but I do not have experience with Unqork. I am specialized in Microsoft products such as Power Automate and Power Apps. I have knowledge of Microsoft Intune and Defender, along with certain Azure components. I work for an organization as a presales architect, proposing solutions to customers. I am familiar with Microsoft Defender for Identity, for Business, and for IoT, though I haven't worked extensively on that. I have a conceptually good understanding of it. I'm mostly working on Microsoft collaboration tools, which include SharePoint and Power Platform tools. I have been dealing mostly with Microsoft, but also with other vendors. Regarding database services, we typically use SQL server services. We have not used Amazon RDS; typically, we use PostgreSQL or MySQL. On the Azure side, I work with Azure Database services including PostgreSQL, MySQL, and SQL Cosmos. I was previously working as an architect for U3Soft and am currently working with Birlasoft (B I R L A S O F T). My overall rating for Amazon API Gateway is 8 out of 10.

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

"Amazon stack is easy to use in combination with other Amazon services, so it was a logical continuity."
"It is very helpful, with our API-based applications."
"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."
"API Gateway is out of the box and works well with Amazon products."
"It's flexible. It was valuable."
"It allows us to expose our APIs and provides tools for managing them."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"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."
"We like the portal for documentation a lot."
"This product is a ten when it comes to API management."
"The API portal capability is a valuable feature."
"The most valuable features are security enforcement and throttling."
"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."
"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."
"I don't believe the Salesforce has been fully utilized yet. It gives us quick engagement."
 

Cons

"Monitoring could be improved."
"I'd appreciate improvements in the user interface to make it more understandable, especially for new AWS users."
"We faced a few issues with the documentation."
"I believe better governance and monitoring features would be beneficial."
"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."
"The solution should include change data capture (CDC) features that will help reduce workload"
"I believe that there could be more features associated with analytics since it is an area where the product lacks."
"We would like to see more UI-based monitoring."
"The product shows a lack of maturity. The setup is difficult, the tech support and community are lacking, and it is not very stable."
"The portal still has room for improvement."
"Sometimes we find bugs where certain calls are not returning all the data we need."
"The API Mocking tools need to be improved."
"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."
"Team management capabilities could be improved."
"The installation process is a bit complex and it could be a lot simpler."
"This solution does have some limitations regarding the deployment model."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Fees are volume-based."
"It is somewhat costly, particularly when it introduces server-related features, which are often scheduled on our end."
"The product is a little expensive."
"There is an annual licensing cost to use Amazon API Gateway."
"It's cost-effective, even as our workload and the number of APIs we manage have increased."
"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."
"There are no licensing fees."
"The product is 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."
