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

"It's flexible. It was valuable."
"It is very helpful, with our API-based applications."
"The technical support is very strong. We've had issues with the solution and configuration and we got very good support."
"Amazon stack is easy to use in combination with other Amazon services, so it was a logical continuity."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is a stable solution with an uptime of 99.99 percent."
"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."
"One of the most valuable aspects of API Gateway is its native integration with AWS services."
"It provides the flexibility to configure, switch, and manage configurations through cloud permissions or performance settings."
"All API usage is now governed and tracked."
"The security mode and the deployment process are significant assets, offering simplified deployment and effective troubleshooting options, including Docker support."
"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."
"The solution is stable."
"The most valuable features are the easy integration with the Oracle cloud, and that it's easy to use."
"Oracle API Platform Cloud Service's UI is quite user-friendly and supports a hybrid deployment model."
"Oracle's APIP CS is a platform capable for consistently covering the complete API Lifecycle from design to retirement, supporting an API-first approach."
 

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."
"When working with XML payloads, there can be issues due to the lack of a seamless connection between API Gateway and Lambda functions."
"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. At scale, it is expensive, and latency sometimes occurs."
"When using APIs, the manual bit for intermediate confirmation with VTL can be a challenge."
"There should be more videos and documentation about the new features that are released every month."
"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."
"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."
"The solution's cost in terms of scaling could be better."
"I would like to see enhanced support for SOAP Service and the corresponding WS-Security policies."
"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."
"In the next release, I would like to see more security policies and for it to include an on-cloud gateway."
"Even when an API is functioning correctly, there seems to be a glitch within OCI (Oracle Cloud Infrastructure)."
"Oracle API Platform Cloud Service provides an API documentation tool, which is quite outdated."
"In future updates, we might be interested to see more enhancements after exploring the existing features over the next year."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's cost-effective, even as our workload and the number of APIs we manage have increased."
"We use all open-source technology."
"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."
"Amazon API Gateway is a very cheaply priced product."
"The product is expensive."
"There is an annual licensing cost to use Amazon API Gateway."
"I rate the platform's pricing a five out of ten."
"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."
"Oracle API Platform Cloud Service is a cheap solution."
"Pricing depends on the specific services used."
"The pricing is for each logical gateway (a logical gateway can have multiple physical nodes)."
"The solution is expensive to scale."
