Amazon API Gateway and webMethods.io compete in the API management and integration market. Amazon API Gateway appears to have an advantage due to its seamless AWS integration and cost-effectiveness, while webMethods.io stands out in enterprise integrations with its B2B partner capabilities and support for legacy systems.

Features: Amazon API Gateway offers seamless integration with AWS services like Lambda, robust security features, and cost-effective pricing. It is user-friendly, supports quick deployment, and integrates well with AWS applications. webMethods.io excels in providing extensive B2B partner integration, efficient data mapping, and versatile connectors for complex enterprise integrations. It ensures stability, built-in monitoring, and compatibility with various legacy systems.

Room for Improvement: Amazon API Gateway needs improvements in documentation and user interface, better governance, monitoring features, and pricing for high-volume data processing. webMethods.io could enhance its pricing structure, simplify complex setup, and improve legacy system support. It also requires better orchestration capabilities and more modern user interfaces for ease of use.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Amazon API Gateway offers flexible deployment options primarily in public cloud environments within AWS's ecosystem, with support often limited to self-service and email, leading to some delays. webMethods.io provides various deployment models including on-premises and hybrid, with robust technical support praised for assistance, although quicker response times and improved documentation are suggested by some users.

Pricing and ROI: Amazon API Gateway operates on a pay-per-use model, offering cost management flexibility, though it can be expensive for high data volumes. Users find satisfactory ROI, especially when leveraging the AWS ecosystem. webMethods.io, while offering strong capabilities, faces criticism for high pricing and complex licensing structures. Costs are justified for large enterprises benefiting from its features and scalability, though a competitive pricing model is suggested to enhance value.

Pradeep Tamanar

Strong technical support and effective toolset improve workflow but setup process requires refinement

I have experience with Nintex and K2, but I do not have experience with Unqork. I am specialized in Microsoft products such as Power Automate and Power Apps. I have knowledge of Microsoft Intune and Defender, along with certain Azure components. I work for an organization as a presales architect, proposing solutions to customers. I am familiar with Microsoft Defender for Identity, for Business, and for IoT, though I haven't worked extensively on that. I have a conceptually good understanding of it. I'm mostly working on Microsoft collaboration tools, which include SharePoint and Power Platform tools. I have been dealing mostly with Microsoft, but also with other vendors. Regarding database services, we typically use SQL server services. We have not used Amazon RDS; typically, we use PostgreSQL or MySQL. On the Azure side, I work with Azure Database services including PostgreSQL, MySQL, and SQL Cosmos. I was previously working as an architect for U3Soft and am currently working with Birlasoft (B I R L A S O F T). My overall rating for Amazon API Gateway is 8 out of 10.

Yashraj Makwana

Developer at a hospitality company with 1,001-5,000 employees

Offers strong integration capabilities and reliable features but needs pricing and scaling improvements

Many things are evolving with the AI buzz in the market. What I would like to see improved or enhanced in webMethods.io in the future is that since webMethods.io is already under IBM, I think IBM will introduce and integrate AI into it. Additionally, regarding what webMethods.io can improve is the license cost. Other cloud players are also providing the same kind of functionality, such as AWS and Azure. webMethods.io is being installed on-premises, but AWS is providing it directly in the cloud. When comparing the license cost and request per minute cost, webMethods.io needs to address that. There are many competitors in the market for this.
