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.
Sagar SampadMall - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides robust security for financial transactions and protects the ERP database from direct exposure
My main feedback is about the account management. I feel they should connect with clients more frequently, beyond just selling the product. They should actively seek feedback and tailor the approach to client needs. It shouldn't always be about pushing additional products. My main suggestion is focused solely on the account management approach, specifically fostering closer and more proactive client relationships. So, the pricing could also be bit improvement.

Cons

"Amazon API Gateway needs to focus on minimizing latency."
"When using APIs, the manual bit for intermediate confirmation with VTL can be a challenge."
"Like most Amazon services, and this one's the same, you're expected to effectively do your own support, and any other support is by emails, so it's quite limited."
"The price could be lower."
"The solution could improve signature validation."
"Amazon API Gateway will wait for only 30 seconds to get a response from other services, such as the Lambda function."
"Amazon API Gateway is not as complete as Apigee and needs to be improved by adding more features to become a more robust application."
"I am not completely satisfied with Technical Support."
"We'd like it if they could reduce the cost without sacrificing on features."
"Before gaining experience with the product, I found that it was not simple to use and things took longer to do than I had anticipated."

"The solution is expensive. Though the product was previously available at a cheap rate, nowadays it is expensive."
