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…
Amitava Roy - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers pre-built packages for quick and easy onboarding of APIs but configuration is not that easy
The configuration is not that easy. 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. There are certain things where the performance is not that great. When the traffic is huge, we see some lag in performance.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is a stable solution."
"The product is stable."
"A most valuable feature of Amazon API Gateway is how quickly we can connect to backend services and have APIs accessible from anywhere."
"Amazon API Gateway can integrate with ECS and Lambda."
"Amazon API Gateway is a very fast solution."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"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."
"This solution is useful for making new APIs."
"Very few outages or SLA issues."
"This has provided a new stream of traffic and exposure of our catalogue beyond the normal web store offering."
"The reason why we selected the solution originally was because of its ability to have a gateway both on-premise and in the cloud. This is the most valuable aspect of the solution for us."
"We can completely manage the APIs at the org level and BU (business unit) level."
"When we did the product evaluation, we saw that TIBCO Mashery offers end-to-end API life cycle management. It provides all API features that are required for managing the complete life cycle. It includes the developer portal and tools for API monitorization. The out-of-box security features that TIBCO Mashery provides are enterprise-grade, which gives it an edge over other API products."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to have different packages based on the API keys. The same core system can have different packages based on different environments."
"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."
"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."
 

Cons

"When it comes to DDoS protection, I would like to see that become available at the API Gateway level."
"There are features lacking in API Gateway, such as the timeout settings, which currently are set at 29 seconds."
"Currently, I'm not facing any issues with Amazon API Gateway, which satisfies my requirements. I'm pretty happy with what Amazon API Gateway offers, but as its pricing is on the higher side, that's one area for improvement in the solution. What I'd like to see in the next release of Amazon API Gateway is an improvement in the status checks you get from the monitoring feature of the solution. Currently, you get the number of requests received, the number of reports, etc., but if there are more details than what's given by Amazon API Gateway, that will improve the solution."
"I believe better governance and monitoring features would be beneficial."
"The API Gateway lacks the capability to directly facilitate API strategy development or user onboarding workflows."
"I believe that there could be more features associated with analytics since it is an area where the product lacks."
"The product's high price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Amazon API Gateway can improve the user interface in some areas it could be more polished."
"It lacks many features at the API gateway compared to other solutions."
"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."
"Policy management has been a bit of a concern."
"We observed delays under heavy load conditions, and without proper tuning, changes could take an extended period to filter and become effective."
"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."
"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."
"TIBCO Cloud API Management should improve its installation and make it easy."
"The management console of API and customers' applications are not the most intuitive."
 

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."
"Azure products are more cost-effective than AWS solutions"
"There is an annual licensing cost to use Amazon API Gateway."
"The solution is expensive. Though the product was previously available at a cheap rate, nowadays it is expensive."
"The product can be described as a medium-priced solution, but its cost is higher than Azure."
"We use all open-source technology."
"The solution's pricing is cheap and based on the number of requests coming to Amazon API Gateway."
"It's cost-effective, even as our workload and the number of APIs we manage have increased."
"TIBCO Cloud API Management is not an expensive solution."
"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."
"We have secured terms on which we have been happy to renew for a number of years."
"Licensing is quite flexible."
