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

"It provides the flexibility to configure, switch, and manage configurations through cloud permissions or performance settings."
"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."
"t is easy for integrations if it is deployed in AWS Services."
"It's easy to integrate and provide support for existing AWS services if I use the AWS API gateway."
"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."
"This solution gives you a unified way to have your API accessed."
"The best thing about Amazon API Gateway is that it can authenticate and authorize requests without going to our back end."
"All information and data needs to be sanitized before it enters a private domain and we use this solution to do this."
"In general, API governance provides a better experience for providers."
"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."
"The most valuable features are security enforcement and throttling."
"This platform can be highly scalable."
"I don't believe the Salesforce has been fully utilized yet. It gives us quick engagement."
"The administration tool for this solution is good."
"This product is a ten when it comes to API management."
"The API portal capability is a valuable feature."
 

Cons

"Like most Amazon services, and this one's the same, you're expected to effectively do your own support, and any other support is by emails, so it's quite limited."
"There are features lacking in API Gateway, such as the timeout settings, which currently are set at 29 seconds."
"We would like to see more UI-based monitoring."
"The user interface could be improved, as well as customer support and having a local customer representative in a country."
"The product's high price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"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 will wait for only 30 seconds to get a response from other services, such as the Lambda function."
"API Gateway could improve by allowing debugging capabilities, particularly when dealing with high volumes. At scale, it is expensive, and latency sometimes occurs."
"Sometimes we find bugs where certain calls are not returning all the data we need."
"Team management capabilities could be improved."
"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."
"This solution does have some limitations regarding the deployment model."
"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."
"Areas of improvement include marketing and enhancing the data products area by using ETIs."
"The API Mocking tools need to be improved."
"The portal still has room for improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's price is reasonable."
"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."
"This is a pay-per-use service, where you only pay for what you use."
"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."
"It is somewhat costly, particularly when it introduces server-related features, which are often scheduled on our end."
"I am satisfied with the price."
"The pricing model for API Gateway is advantageous due to its serverless nature, as it depends on traffic volume."
"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."
