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…
Mahaboob Pasha - PeerSpot reviewer
Secure and simplify API management with effective deployment options
In our organization, we use Oracle API Platform Cloud Service primarily to host and manage our middleware APIs. Our middleware APIs are registered on this platform and exposed to a fixed domain, which supports our organizational goals effectively Since our enterprise has many APIs, Oracle API…

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."
"It allows us to expose our APIs and provides tools for managing them."
"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."
"Amazon API Gateway facilitates our serverless architecture, particularly with Lambda, by allowing us to perform various tasks. For instance, Lambda functions authorize API calls, execute multiple workloads, and integrate with other services like Azure and Kubernetes. Additionally, we leverage Lambda functions behind the Amazon API Gateway to query databases, process data, and interact with different systems."
"Amazon API Gateway is a very fast solution."
"Integrating API Gateway with other AWS services was easy. It worked out of the box, so it worked perfectly."
"The solution is user-friendly."
"It is easy to set up. It is also quick to deploy."
"All API usage is now governed and tracked."
"The Gateways are communicating with a Management Service, which lives in the Cloud, to send usage information or to fetch changes for the deployed APIs."
"I find the customizable dashboards convenient. When you have a privatized dashboard, it's easy to log in, get an immediate snapshot of what's happening, and quickly address any problems."
"Oracle's APIP CS is a platform capable for consistently covering the complete API Lifecycle from design to retirement, supporting an API-first approach."
"The solution is stable."
"Oracle API Platform Cloud Service's UI is quite user-friendly and supports a hybrid deployment model."
"The most valuable features are the easy integration with the Oracle cloud, and that it's easy to use."
"The security mode and the deployment process are significant assets, offering simplified deployment and effective troubleshooting options, including Docker support."
 

Cons

"Their support services come at a considerable cost, leaving room for improvement."
"Amazon API Gateway is not as complete as Apigee and needs to be improved by adding more features to become a more robust application."
"Monitoring could be improved."
"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 course management needs improvement. It's always an issue to set up the course management, especially when you use data form."
"We would like to see more UI-based monitoring."
"The only real problem is that you have to know a lot about what is outside of the API gateway in order to make the best use of it."
"Since the first invocation of AWS Lambda takes more than 30 seconds because of Lambda's cold start, Amazon API Gateway blocks that resource, thereby aborting the invocation."
"Oracle API Platform Cloud Service provides an API documentation tool, which is quite outdated."
"Even when an API is functioning correctly, there seems to be a glitch within OCI (Oracle Cloud Infrastructure)."
"The solution's cost in terms of scaling could be better."
"In the next release, I would like to see more security policies and for it to include an on-cloud gateway."
"I would like to see enhanced support for SOAP Service and the corresponding WS-Security policies."
"In future updates, we might be interested to see more enhancements after exploring the existing features over the next year."
"There should be closer integration between the API Platform Cloud Service and the Identity Cloud Service to allow IDCS Applications, protecting backend systems, to be linked to the API Applications that consumers use to access APIs."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"It is somewhat costly, particularly when it introduces server-related features, which are often scheduled on our end."
"Fees are volume-based."
"The pricing model for API Gateway is advantageous due to its serverless nature, as it depends on traffic volume."
"I am satisfied with the price."
"The product can be described as a medium-priced solution, but its cost is higher than Azure."
"The product is a little expensive."
"There is an annual licensing cost to use Amazon API Gateway."
"Oracle API Platform Cloud Service is a cheap solution."
"Pricing depends on the specific services used."
"The solution is expensive to scale."
"The pricing is for each logical gateway (a logical gateway can have multiple physical nodes)."
