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.
Amitava Roy - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers pre-built packages for quick and easy onboarding of APIs but configuration is not that easy
The configuration is not that easy. It's not that user-friendly, and security-wise when you try to implement the security layer on top of it, it's not that easy either. There are certain things where the performance is not that great. When the traffic is huge, we see some lag in performance.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is a stable solution."
"It is easy to set up. It is also quick to deploy."
"A most valuable feature of Amazon API Gateway is how quickly we can connect to backend services and have APIs accessible from anywhere."
"It is a stable solution."
"It is very helpful, with our API-based applications."
"All information and data needs to be sanitized before it enters a private domain and we use this solution to do this."
"The most valuable feature in Amazon API Gateway is the itinerary release."
"Stability is excellent."
"The reason why we selected the solution originally was because of its ability to have a gateway both on-premise and in the cloud. This is the most valuable aspect of the solution for us."
"The solution is a good general API manager. They have a few propriety features but are offering items that are standard in the industry as well."
"The most valuable aspect of Mashery is its stability."
"When we did the product evaluation, we saw that TIBCO Mashery offers end-to-end API life cycle management. It provides all API features that are required for managing the complete life cycle. It includes the developer portal and tools for API monitorization. The out-of-box security features that TIBCO Mashery provides are enterprise-grade, which gives it an edge over other API products."
"Very few outages or SLA issues."
"It has something called packages. In that way, it's good because we have some pre-built packages. So, if you want to onboard different APIs, we can just add them to the package, and it's there."
"Conversion to RESTful and SOAP protocols and management console (can manage individually throttled settings to manage our service levels for customers)."
"The control that we have and the security features are very valuable. With regard to API implementation or API orchestration, it works very well in the cloud because as soon as you create an API with one click, you can actually expose your APIs."
 

Cons

"Their support services come at a considerable cost, leaving room for improvement."
"The product's high price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"API Gateway lacks some governance features that MuleSoft offers, and there are additional features that could make it even better."
"It's hard to configure. There's a lot of options but it's very hard, it's very confusing."
"There are features lacking in API Gateway, such as the timeout settings, which currently are set at 29 seconds."
"The solution should include change data capture (CDC) features that will help reduce workload"
"The solution could improve signature validation."
"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."
"Monetization is not that great in API management. You need customization. Improvements are needed with sandbox local as well as with monetization. Those features are missing."
"The management console of API and customers' applications are not the most intuitive."
"The way agile life cycle is working needs improvement. I also want to see more support for open API standards. I want to see some improvement on the protocol transformation. That is quite missing now. These are the three main issues."
"The security needs improvement, specifically, propagation of security to an API. Calling other APIs is something that is missing in the product and that makes us think about going to a competitor."
"TIBCO Cloud API Management should improve its installation and make it easy."
"It lacks many features at the API gateway compared to other solutions."
"They can fix some stability issues and probably make it more user-friendly so that not only an IT savvy person but an end-user can also easily navigate through this solution."
"I'd like to see TIBCO integrate authentication and security features into Mashery."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the platform's pricing a five out of ten."
"Amazon API Gateway is a very cheaply priced product."
"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."
"It is somewhat costly, particularly when it introduces server-related features, which are often scheduled on our end."
"This is a pay-per-use service, where you only pay for what you use."
"The pricing model for API Gateway is advantageous due to its serverless nature, as it depends on traffic volume."
"There are no licensing fees."
"There is an annual licensing cost to use Amazon API Gateway."
"Licensing is quite flexible."
"TIBCO Cloud API Management is not an expensive solution."
"Its price is pretty reasonable. There are some lightweight API options available in the market, but given the feature set that TIBCO provides, its price is really reasonable."
"We have secured terms on which we have been happy to renew for a number of years."
