Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is a stable solution with an uptime of 99.99 percent.""The solution is solid, robust, and scalable.""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.""It is a stable solution.""It is easy to set up. It is also quick to deploy.""This solution gives you a unified way to have your API accessed.""t is easy for integrations if it is deployed in AWS Services.""The initial setup is straightforward."

"Code generation is one of the important features of SwaggerHub. We design our API, and we can generate a very rich codebase and add to it. The code generation feature is very valuable.""The most valuable features are the collaboration between multiple teams and the control and distribution of specifications.""It is a stable solution.""It is quite a useful tool. It is quite good with the validation of the spec. It works quite well in terms of errors and conformity to the OpenAPI standard. It is better than Visual Studio Code in terms of editing.""The product's initial setup phase was easy and not at all difficult.""The tool's most valuable feature is licensing.""I rate the solution's stability a ten out of ten.""The scalability is endless."

Cons
"We faced a few issues with the documentation.""The tool's UI requires time to understand.""We would like to see more UI-based monitoring.""There are certain restrictions that cannot be implemented without web access.""I am not completely satisfied with Technical Support.""API Gateway lacks some governance features that MuleSoft offers, and there are additional features that could make it even better.""It's hard to configure. There's a lot of options but it's very hard, it's very confusing.""The course management needs improvement. It's always an issue to set up the course management, especially when you use data form."

"The review process should be improved. There seem to be some gaps, at least for us, for the editing part because we would like to have a full request review mechanism. They support some comments, but it is really hard to manage those comments. We would like to use the full request. Therefore, we are now looking to integrate with repositories. It has integration with Bitbucket and GitHub, but we have some internal constraints, and we need to move some of the repositories to GitHub. Our source code is on-premise in Bitbucket, and it was a bit of a problem for us to integrate. Now we are transitioning our repositories to GitHub, and hopefully, we can enable the integration. This will probably solve the problem with the review and approval. Its customization should also be improved. There are limitations around the support for the developer portal. There should be more customization options for the website that you can use as a developer portal. Currently, it has only Swagger UI with minimal customization. You cannot actually add additional pages and documentation for explaining concepts and general things. That's why we have started to look around to see what other tools are doing. They should also allow tagging on the API. We would like to add some tagging on the API to reflect certain things. Currently, any metadata that you would like to have has to be a part of the spec. You cannot do anything else. It should also have support for Open API 3.1, which was released at the beginning of the year. It would be great to be able to switch to that.""SwaggerHub lacks in terms of integrations. They have APIs integrated, and they also have some connectors, but they don't have integration with many of the things that we use. For example, for connecting with SVN, we had to implement external scripts. So, they should work on the integration because currently, we have to work on the integration with our DevOps, continuous delivery, or continuous deployment. It would be great if these integrations are built-in. Mainly, we would like it to integrate with SVN and Jira.""It has limited functionality...Unfortunately, some of its features are not what we need.""It could be more intuitive compared to one of its competitors.""We have to use additional tools to test APIs.""SwaggerHub's UI needs to be improved as it looks very old school.""SwaggerHub could be improved with better integration for tools.""More integration and usability with the cloud microservices would be nice"

    Overview

    Amazon API Gateway is a fully managed service that makes it easy for developers to create, publish, maintain, monitor, and secure APIs at any scale. With a few clicks in the AWS Management Console, you can create an API that acts as a "front door" for applications to access data, business logic, or functionality from your back-end services, such as workloads running on Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2), code running on AWS Lambda, or any Web application.

    SwaggerHub is an integrated API Development platform, built for teams, that brings the core capabilities of the Swagger framework to design, build, document and deploy APIs. SwaggerHub enables development teams to collaborate and coordinate the entire lifecycle of an API with the flexibility to integrate with the toolset of your choice.
