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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product is really good when it comes to API lifecycle management, and it is not just something that includes the balancing part or the security aspect but also the routing and the fallback mechanism."

"We would definitely recommend sticking to native solutions because then you have one Hyperscale provider supporting the applications, storage, compute, and APIs."

"It's easy to integrate and provide support for existing AWS services if I use the AWS API gateway."

"This solution gives you a unified way to have your API accessed."

"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."

"The most valuable feature in Amazon API Gateway is the itinerary release."

"From my perspective of ease of use, it is very good."

"The most valuable feature is the ease of managing the gateway."

More Amazon API Gateway pros

"The security mode and the deployment process are significant assets, offering simplified deployment and effective troubleshooting options, including Docker support."

"Oracle's APIP CS is a platform capable for consistently covering the complete API Lifecycle from design to retirement, supporting an API-first approach."

"The ease by which you can define policies to manage is impressive."

"Oracle's APIP CS is a platform capable for consistently covering the complete API Lifecycle from design to retirement, supporting an API-first approach."

"All API usage is now governed and tracked."

"All orders are now in real-time and we are adding extra features that can tell us who is placing the order and the different levels of access to different types of customers."

"This is part of our new digital offering for customers and has helped with new prospects to offer a modern secure API solution, therefore it is having a real impact on the business adoption of API integration for customers."

More Oracle API Platform Cloud Service pros

Cons

"It's hard to configure. There's a lot of options but it's very hard, it's very confusing."

"The user interface could be improved, as well as customer support and having a local customer representative in a country."

"When working with XML payloads, there can be issues due to the lack of a seamless connection between API Gateway and Lambda functions."

"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."

"I'm pretty happy with what Amazon API Gateway offers, but as its pricing is on the higher side, that's one area for improvement in the solution."

"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."

"The only real problem is that you have to know a lot about what is outside of the API gateway in order to make the best use of it."

"An interface more friendly for new users would be helpful."

More Amazon API Gateway cons

"Even when an API is functioning correctly, there seems to be a glitch within OCI (Oracle Cloud Infrastructure)."

"The challenge is the product is getting new features at rapid pace."

"There should be closer integration between the API Platform Cloud Service and the Identity Cloud Service to allow IDCS Applications, protecting backend systems, to be linked to the API Applications that consumers use to access APIs."

"I would like to see enhanced support for SOAP Service and the corresponding WS-Security policies."

"In future updates, we might be interested to see more enhancements after exploring the existing features over the next year."

"In the next release, I would like to see more security policies and for it to include an on-cloud gateway."

"The on-premises connectivity can be improved because it is still not at its best."

More Oracle API Platform Cloud Service cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is an annual licensing cost to use Amazon API Gateway."

"The product is a little expensive."

"I rate the platform's pricing a five out of ten."

"Azure products are more cost-effective than AWS solutions"

"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."

"Since it's a serverless solution, Amazon API Gateway is not so expensive."

"I am satisfied with the price."

"The solution's pricing is cheap and based on the number of requests coming to Amazon API Gateway."

More Amazon API Gateway pricing and cost advice

"The pricing is for each logical gateway (a logical gateway can have multiple physical nodes)."

"The solution is expensive to scale."

"Oracle API Platform Cloud Service is a cheap solution."

"Pricing depends on the specific services used."
