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…
Sagar SampadMall - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides robust security for financial transactions and protects the ERP database from direct exposure
My main feedback is about the account management. I feel they should connect with clients more frequently, beyond just selling the product. They should actively seek feedback and tailor the approach to client needs. It shouldn't always be about pushing additional products. My main suggestion is focused solely on the account management approach, specifically fostering closer and more proactive client relationships. So, the pricing could also be bit improvement.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is stable."
"API Gateway is easy to set up, allows for custom domain assignment and rate limiting based on customer tiers, and works well for defining different states for different customers based on their purchase plans."
"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 provides the flexibility to configure, switch, and manage configurations through cloud permissions or performance settings."
"What I like best about Amazon API Gateway is that it's simple to use, easy to set up, and you can quickly get it up and running. It's a very user-friendly solution. I also didn't experience any issues in terms of Amazon API Gateway interface, integration, or monitoring. The solution runs smoothly."
"API Gateway is out of the box and works well with Amazon products."
"The initial setup is pretty easy. Deployment only takes five minutes."
"t is easy for integrations if it is deployed in AWS Services."
"The security, the authentication, and the publishing qualities are great."
"It is very secure, easy to manage, and easy to configure. It is a web-based API. Moreover, we get direct support from Oracle guys."
"The initial setup isn't overly difficult."
"The most valuable features for us are security and centralization."
 

Cons

"I would say Amazon API Gateway is a bit costly, but considering the feature level, it is very good."
"A lower price would definitely be an improvement."
"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."
"We faced a few issues with the documentation."
"There are features lacking in API Gateway, such as the timeout settings, which currently are set at 29 seconds."
"API Gateway could improve by allowing debugging capabilities, particularly when dealing with high volumes."
"The course management needs improvement. It's always an issue to set up the course management, especially when you use data form."
"An interface more friendly for new users would be helpful."
"We'd like it if they could reduce the cost without sacrificing on features."
"From an administration and developer point of view, the user interface and user experience are not great."
"Before gaining experience with the product, I found that it was not simple to use and things took longer to do than I had anticipated."
"Oracle should actively seek feedback and tailor the approach to client needs. It shouldn't always be about pushing additional products."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 product can be described as a medium-priced solution, but its cost is higher than Azure."
"It is somewhat costly, particularly when it introduces server-related features, which are often scheduled on our end."
"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."

"Fees are volume-based."
"Amazon API Gateway is a very cheaply priced product."
"Oracle is not a cheap solution and it is not affordable for all of our clients in Portugal."
