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.
Sagar SampadMall - PeerSpot reviewer
IT-Operation Head at Granules India Ltd
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

"From my perspective of ease of use, it is very good."
"The initial setup is pretty easy. Deployment only takes five minutes."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of managing the gateway."
"It allows us to expose our APIs and provides tools for managing them."
"Amazon stack is easy to use in combination with other Amazon services, so it was a logical continuity."
"Amazon stack is easy to use in combination with other Amazon services, so it was a logical continuity."
"The best features of Amazon API Gateway include security and metering, which involves the analytical part of how the APIs are being consumed since it's for consumer APIs built for use by other applications."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The most valuable features for us are security and centralization."
"It has helped us to better organize, control and monitor the APIs across the solution landscape in the enterprise."
"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 security, the authentication, and the publishing qualities are great."
"The initial setup isn't overly difficult."
"We've found it to be very stable."
"The product has been very easy to use."
"The most valuable features for us are security and centralization."
 

Cons

"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."
"Monitoring could be improved."
"The user interface could be improved, as well as customer support and having a local customer representative in a country."
"The payment is a little bit on the costlier side when I look at the amount we have to pay."
"When it comes to DDoS protection, I would like to see that become available at the API Gateway level."
"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."
"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."
"The cost of the solution is very high. It's not very cheap."
"Oracle needs to improve on access to technical documentation."
"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."
"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."
"Although it is working great for us at the moment, we don't enjoy its user-interface. The UI is based on an old approach and needs an overhaul to modernize the UI and user interaction."
"Oracle should actively seek feedback and tailor the approach to client needs. It shouldn't always be about pushing additional products."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Azure products are more cost-effective than AWS solutions"
"We use all open-source technology."
"Amazon API Gateway has various pricing plans, but I cannot give the exact cost, though I can say that it's expensive. On a scale of one to five, I'd rate the pricing for Amazon API Gateway as two, as the solution is one of the most expensive products in the market for API management."
"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."
"The product is expensive."
"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."
"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."
"The solution's pricing is cheap and based on the number of requests coming to Amazon API Gateway."
"Oracle is not a cheap solution and it is not affordable for all of our clients in Portugal."
