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

"It's flexible. It was valuable."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"What I like best about Amazon API Gateway is that it's simple to use, easy to set up, and you can quickly get it up and running. It's a very user-friendly solution. I also didn't experience any issues in terms of Amazon API Gateway interface, integration, or monitoring. The solution runs smoothly."
"This solution gives you a unified way to have your API accessed."
"This solution is useful for making new APIs."
"The best features of Amazon API Gateway include security and metering, which involves the analytical part of how the APIs are being consumed since it's for consumer APIs built for use by other applications."
"The product is stable."
"The technical support is very strong. We've had issues with the solution and configuration and we got very good support."
"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 most valuable aspect of Mashery is its stability."
"Very few outages or SLA issues."
"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."
"We can completely manage the APIs at the org level and BU (business unit) level."
"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."
"It is easy to work with ."
"The platform's most valuable features are its capabilities to support security measures such as tokenization, token refresh, throttling, and enforcement of payloads."
 

Cons

"I am not completely satisfied with Technical Support."
"The user interface, in general, can be better. The user interface for the entire Amazon cloud can be more friendly. There are some scenarios that are not really easy to manage and configure through the user interface."
"Amazon API Gateway can improve the user interface in some areas it could be more polished."
"I believe better governance and monitoring features would be beneficial."
"Its performance and scalability could be better compared to one of its competitors."
"From a use cases perspective, you need to have an internal and external gateway. AWS can only handle external traffic so has to be used together with another solution."
"Their support services come at a considerable cost, leaving room for improvement."
"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."
"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."
"We observed delays under heavy load conditions, and without proper tuning, changes could take an extended period to filter and become effective."
"The management console of API and customers' applications are not the most intuitive."
"I'd like to see TIBCO integrate authentication and security features into Mashery."
"There are some areas for improvement in TIBCO Cloud API Management, especially regarding network protocols such as SMPP, SMTP, GVI, SVI, and Diameter which could show performance issues in terms of handling and connection management pooling efficiency."
"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."
"TIBCO Cloud API Management should improve its installation and make it 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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"My understanding is that it easily goes to $14,000 or $15,000 USD each month for each account, and we have several such accounts."
"I am satisfied with the price."
"There are no licensing fees."
"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."
"Fees are volume-based."
"Azure products are more cost-effective than AWS solutions"
"The solution is expensive. Though the product was previously available at a cheap rate, nowadays it is expensive."
"The solution's pricing is cheap and based on the number of requests coming to Amazon API Gateway."
"Licensing is quite flexible."
"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."
"TIBCO Cloud API Management is not an expensive solution."
