Featured Reviews

Dinesh Agrawalla - PeerSpot reviewer
Requires minimal configuration and easy-to-launch
I would like to improve the restrictions and security elements of the solution, as there are certain configurations that are not currently supported. There are certain restrictions that cannot be implemented without web access. In the next release, I would like a feature that can validate requests and filter out any jQuery injections. Additionally, I would like to prioritize these requests. I've noticed that such features are usually not available in web applications.
Sudhanshu Singh - PeerSpot reviewer
We get stability, scalability, and security
Axway provides good documentation that newcomers can easily follow, but I believe the initial setup would be tough for someone new. Experienced employees know where everything is and how to do their job, so it would be difficult for a new hire to get up to speed. For an experienced person, I give the initial setup a ten out of ten. Deployment can be considered a hundred lines of code and some a thousand lines. For a simple deployment, it takes 10-15 seconds. And if the environment connectivity is good enough to respond and there is some heavy code that is being deployed, it takes around 30-60 seconds max, if we are referring to the cloud, where the connectivity for the long duration of the calls is there. The total deployment time is one minute to finish up. From the industrial point of view, Europe has a major chunk of users followed by, the US, and then Australia or the Asia-Pacific region.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The initial setup is pretty easy. Deployment only takes five minutes."
"t is easy for integrations if it is deployed in AWS Services."
"The solution is stable."
"One of the most valuable aspects of API Gateway is its native integration with AWS services."
"In terms of most valuable features, it would say that it is really easy to start working with it."
"The most valuable feature in Amazon API Gateway is the itinerary release."
"The solution is solid, robust, and scalable."
"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."
"I don't believe the Salesforce has been fully utilized yet. It gives us quick engagement."
"This platform can be highly scalable."
"The API portal capability is a valuable feature."
"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."
"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."
"The most valuable features are security enforcement and throttling."
"This product is a ten when it comes to API management."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is security."
 

Cons

"There should be more videos and documentation about the new features that are released every month."
"The API Gateway lacks the capability to directly facilitate API strategy development or user onboarding workflows."
"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."
"Their support services come at a considerable cost, leaving room for improvement."
"When working with XML payloads, there can be issues due to the lack of a seamless connection between API Gateway and Lambda functions."
"The tool's UI requires time to understand."
"We faced a few issues with the documentation."
"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."
"Team management capabilities could be improved."
"Areas of improvement include marketing and enhancing the data products area by using ETIs."
"The API Mocking tools need to be improved."
"It would be great if they have an asset report. It's hard to get support for that."
"This solution does have some limitations regarding the deployment model."
"The product shows a lack of maturity. The setup is difficult, the tech support and community are lacking, and it is not very stable."
"The portal still has room for improvement."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Since it's a serverless solution, Amazon API Gateway is not so expensive."
"We use all open-source technology."
"There is an annual licensing cost to use Amazon API Gateway."
"It is somewhat costly, particularly when it introduces server-related features, which are often scheduled on our end."
"The product can be described as a medium-priced solution, but its cost is higher than Azure."
"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 rate the platform's pricing a five out of ten."
"Amazon API Gateway is a very cheaply priced product."
"The solution is expensive. When you acquire a license you have full access to the solution, unlike other competitors such as Apigee X, where there are fragmented licenses. Some licenses only allow access to certain features while others allow access to more features. Upon procuring this solution's license, you will have full access to the solution, allowing you to experiment with all of its features."
