Find out in this report how the two API Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The product is stable."
"One of the most valuable aspects of API Gateway is its native integration with AWS services."
"All information and data needs to be sanitized before it enters a private domain and we use this solution to do this."
"The solution is solid, robust, and scalable."
"The best thing about Amazon API Gateway is that it can authenticate and authorize requests without going to our back end."
"It is easy to set up. It is also quick to deploy."
"It is a stable solution."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is a stable solution with an uptime of 99.99 percent."
"My company has a good impression of IBM DataPower Gateway. What I like about it is that because it's an appliance, it's a turnkey solution that's very fast and out of the box. Compared to other gateways, I also like that IBM DataPower Gateway is function-rich. For example, for one of the projects, there was a need for specific transformation and security features available in IBM DataPower Gateway out of the box, so my team just needed to configure the appliance. There was no need for separate development, and I found it quite neat. Another valuable feature of IBM DataPower Gateway is that it's easy to integrate with other products."
"The solution is very easy to work with."
"The solution is straightforward and for large organizations, it functions well."
"It is a scalable solution."
"What I like most is the stability."
"The performance is good. It's been very stable."
"I like the tool's security. Also, all functionalities are integrated within on platform."
"The solution is scalable, our customers are mostly South African banks and they handle mostly transactions with this solution."
"The solution could improve signature validation."
"Its performance and scalability could be better compared to one of its competitors."
"From a use cases perspective, you need to have an internal and external gateway. AWS can only handle external traffic so has to be used together with another solution."
"Amazon API Gateway needs to focus on minimizing latency."
"Currently, I'm not facing any issues with Amazon API Gateway, which satisfies my requirements. I'm pretty happy with what Amazon API Gateway offers, but as its pricing is on the higher side, that's one area for improvement in the solution. What I'd like to see in the next release of Amazon API Gateway is an improvement in the status checks you get from the monitoring feature of the solution. Currently, you get the number of requests received, the number of reports, etc., but if there are more details than what's given by Amazon API Gateway, that will improve the solution."
"I believe better governance and monitoring features would be beneficial."
"Amazon API Gateway can improve the user interface in some areas it could be more polished."
"When working with XML payloads, there can be issues due to the lack of a seamless connection between API Gateway and Lambda functions."
"Some pre-packaged connectors for integration with various applications, such as SaaS offerings, would be a useful addition."
"They should add features to manage API integrations."
"The two biggest issues of this solution are the complexity and the maintenance procedures."
"I would like the tool to improve its training."
"The initial setup isn't so easy, you need who has experience working with the solution to help."
"An area for improvement in IBM DataPower Gateway is its price point because it's a relatively expensive product. Sometimes, when the customer use case is just a very small subset of what's being offered in IBM DataPower Gateway, then the product can be expensive, making my company lose some of the opportunities because of the expensive pricing. A lower price point for IBM DataPower Gateway, even if that results in a less feature-rich version, would be appreciated. In terms of additional features that I'd like to see in the next release of IBM DataPower Gateway, nothing specific comes to mind because IBM constantly improves its standards and provides quarterly updates to the product, so it's quite fine."
"We are always looking for more features wherein it could be easily integrated with cloud applications. We are looking for either a cloud solution or a cloud integration option."
"The product should be more adapted to the DevOps process."
