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…
AftabAlam - PeerSpot reviewer
Trust and reliability have been established with long-term usage and significant integration benefits
TIBCO Cloud API Management offers API management plus the ability to orchestrate all inbound and outbound API calls. When an API is exposed to the external system, it functions as a single integration. Behind the scenes, you can perform extensive API modeling, aggregation, and downstream systems can have more than one API and give the response back to a single API call. It has many features such as orchestration rule engine, which makes it quite good. TIBCO Cloud API Management has brought numerous benefits for our organization, especially in product maturity and support. Sales and support are strong areas, and I think it is very good. If they do not get the right support, then they should consider other options. The sales and support also provides cost optimization.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"All information and data needs to be sanitized before it enters a private domain and we use this solution to do this."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is a stable solution with an uptime of 99.99 percent."
"The solution is stable."
"The most valuable feature is it has lots of integration."
"The best thing about Amazon API Gateway is that it can authenticate and authorize requests without going to our back end."
"This solution gives you a unified way to have your API accessed."
"A most valuable feature of Amazon API Gateway is how quickly we can connect to backend services and have APIs accessible from anywhere."
"The control that we have and the security features are very valuable. With regard to API implementation or API orchestration, it works very well in the cloud because as soon as you create an API with one click, you can actually expose your APIs."
"Conversion to RESTful and SOAP protocols and management console (can manage individually throttled settings to manage our service levels for customers)."
"It is easy to work with ."
"Very few outages or SLA issues."
"It has something called packages. In that way, it's good because we have some pre-built packages. So, if you want to onboard different APIs, we can just add them to the package, and it's there."
"The solution is a good general API manager. They have a few propriety features but are offering items that are standard in the industry as well."
"We can completely manage the APIs at the org level and BU (business unit) level."
"The most valuable aspect of Mashery is its stability."
 

Cons

"API Gateway could improve by allowing debugging capabilities, particularly when dealing with high volumes."
"Monitoring could be improved."
"The payment is a little bit on the costlier side when I look at the amount we have to pay."
"There are features lacking in API Gateway, such as the timeout settings, which currently are set at 29 seconds."
"When working with XML payloads, there can be issues due to the lack of a seamless connection between API Gateway and Lambda functions."
"Its support for SAM integration could be made more accessible."
"The integration could be improved."
"The tool's UI requires time to understand."
"We observed delays under heavy load conditions, and without proper tuning, changes could take an extended period to filter and become effective."
"They can fix some stability issues and probably make it more user-friendly so that not only an IT savvy person but an end-user can also easily navigate through this solution."
"Policy management has been a bit of a concern."
"The management console of API and customers' applications are not the most intuitive."
"It's not that user-friendly, and security-wise when you try to implement the security layer on top of it, it's not that easy either."
"TIBCO Cloud API Management should improve its installation and make it easy."
"Monetization is not that great in API management. You need customization. Improvements are needed with sandbox local as well as with monetization. Those features are missing."
"The way agile life cycle is working needs improvement. I also want to see more support for open API standards. I want to see some improvement on the protocol transformation. That is quite missing now. These are the three main issues."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is expensive."
"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 solution is expensive. Though the product was previously available at a cheap rate, nowadays it is expensive."
"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."
"The solution's pricing is cheap and based on the number of requests coming to Amazon API Gateway."
"I rate the platform's pricing a five out of ten."
"I am satisfied with the price."
"The solution's price is reasonable."
"Licensing is quite flexible."
"TIBCO Cloud API Management is not an expensive solution."
"We have secured terms on which we have been happy to renew for a number of years."
"Its price is pretty reasonable. There are some lightweight API options available in the market, but given the feature set that TIBCO provides, its price is really reasonable."
