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."It is easy to set up. It is also quick to deploy."
"Amazon API Gateway facilitates our serverless architecture, particularly with Lambda, by allowing us to perform various tasks. For instance, Lambda functions authorize API calls, execute multiple workloads, and integrate with other services like Azure and Kubernetes. Additionally, we leverage Lambda functions behind the Amazon API Gateway to query databases, process data, and interact with different systems."
"It provides the flexibility to configure, switch, and manage configurations through cloud permissions or performance settings."
"The best thing about Amazon API Gateway is that it can authenticate and authorize requests without going to our back end."
"API Gateway offers a multitude of configuration parameters that enable versatile request filtering and protection against potential attacks."
"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."
"This solution gives you a unified way to have your API accessed."
"This solution is useful for making new APIs."
"This product is a ten when it comes to API management."
"The best feature of Axway Amplify API Management is its exceptional level of security, which is highly reassuring, coupled with its remarkable capacity to handle substantial volumes of data in impressively efficient turnaround times."
"This platform can be highly scalable."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is security."
"The administration tool for this solution is good."
"The most valuable features are security enforcement and throttling."
"There's drag and drop functionality so that you do not need to have a senior expert developer to make use of the tool. You can get more of your staff trained up to be able to use it as it's not overly technical."
"In general, API governance provides a better experience for providers."
"They could include more support tools in the product."
"API Gateway lacks some governance features that MuleSoft offers, and there are additional features that could make it even better."
"We faced a few issues with the documentation."
"Since the first invocation of AWS Lambda takes more than 30 seconds because of Lambda's cold start, Amazon API Gateway blocks that resource, thereby aborting the invocation."
"The pricing could be improved. In cases where customers require real-time sync or real-time calling groups with IoT, the volume of data and time lag become a concern."
"There should be more videos and documentation about the new features that are released every month."
"The product's high price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"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."
"The portal still has room for improvement."
"The product shows a lack of maturity. The setup is difficult, the tech support and community are lacking, and it is not very stable."
"This solution does have some limitations regarding the deployment model."
"It would be great if they have an asset report. It's hard to get support for that."
"The installation process is a bit complex and it could be a lot simpler."
"In terms of customer service, the company needs to be easier to contact, and the support team needs to understand the situation and the product itself better."
"The areas for enhancement should be improving certain filters within the solution. Although they are generally functional, there are occasional problems that could be more precisely adjusted. Additionally, the solution performs well within its workload limitations, but it may not be suitable for scaling up or managing a larger volume of transactions through the gateway. To address this, it may be necessary to adopt a unique architecture rather than relying on traditional pre-packaged options."
"Sometimes we find bugs where certain calls are not returning all the data we need."
