We performed a comparison between Amazon API Gateway and webMethods API Gateway based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two API Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."In terms of scalability, I haven't encountered any issues with API Gateway. We've significantly increased our traffic from hitting it once or twice a minute to now hitting it ten to fifteen times within a minute. In an hour, we're receiving hundreds of hits. So, it's performing excellently."
"The product is stable."
"This solution is useful for making new APIs."
"One of the most valuable aspects of API Gateway is its native integration with AWS services."
"It is a stable solution."
"t is easy for integrations if it is deployed in AWS Services."
"Integrating API Gateway with other AWS services was easy. It worked out of the box, so it worked perfectly."
"Amazon API Gateway can integrate with ECS and Lambda."
"It's a good tool, and it has a stable messaging broker."
"The developer portal is a valuable feature."
"What I like the most about the solution is that it comes with ready-made tools like handling security tokens and OAuth."
"I like the solution's policies, transformation, mediation, and routing features."
"The cloud version of the solution is very easy to set up."
"Within the new version, webMethods API Gateway gives us an end-to-end lifecycle from the creation of the API up into the development, deployment, and promotion into production/live. The current end-to-end lifecycle of the API gives us enough authority and governance of the API. We know what are currently live services, what is in the testing stage of development, and what version that has been commissioned. So, the full life cycle itself gives us full authority and governance of the API."
"In the API gateway, there is a new feature that allows us to filter logs within a payload. This has been a useful feature."
"This solution has given us a competitive advantage because we have better automation and insight."
"The integration could be improved."
"When it comes to DDoS protection, I would like to see that become available at the API Gateway level."
"It would be useful to have a more complete development environment for the developer, with different integrative capabilities to manage all the life cycles for the API. I think the full version formula for that is really useful. They should improve the development environment for easier integration."
"Amazon API Gateway is not as complete as Apigee and needs to be improved by adding more features to become a more robust application."
"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."
"We would like to see more UI-based monitoring."
"The solution could improve signature validation."
"Amazon API Gateway can improve the user interface in some areas it could be more polished."
"There are things that could be improved with the webMethods API gateway. One thing is that it's too attached to the integration service and we'd like it to be a little bit more independent. We would like for them to separate operations so that it doesn't rely on the bulky integration server and so that it can be used everywhere."
"With performance, there is room for improvement in regards to if we would like to put another extra layer of security on it, such as SSL. This is affecting their performance quite significantly. They need to improve the process of managing the SSL and other things inside their solutions, so there will not be quite such a significant impact to the performance."
"In terms of improvements, maybe on the API monetization side, having users able to create separate consumption plans and throttle all those consumption plans towards the run time could be better."
"They should develop clear visibility for the onboarding."
"With respect to the API gateway, the runtime component, the stability after a new release is something that can be improved."
"It is an expensive solution and not very suitable for smaller businesses."
"The price has room for improvement."
"The configuring of the JWT token would be improved as it is a confusing process. We require more information on this part of the solution."
