We performed a comparison between Amazon API Gateway and webMethods API Gateway based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Amazon API Gateway can integrate with ECS and Lambda."
"It is easy to set up. It is also quick to deploy."
"API Gateway offers a multitude of configuration parameters that enable versatile request filtering and protection against potential attacks."
"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."
"The solution is user-friendly."
"Integrating API Gateway with other AWS services was easy. It worked out of the box, so it worked perfectly."
"Amazon API Gateway is a very fast solution."
"I like the solution's policies, transformation, mediation, and routing features."
"The developer portal is a valuable feature."
"The cloud version of the solution is very easy to set up."
"There were no complexities involved in the setup phase...The product is able to meet my company's API protection needs."
"Within the new version, webMethods API Gateway gives us an end-to-end lifecycle from the creation of the API up into the development, deployment, and promotion into production/live. The current end-to-end lifecycle of the API gives us enough authority and governance of the API. We know what are currently live services, what is in the testing stage of development, and what version that has been commissioned. So, the full life cycle itself gives us full authority and governance of the API."
"The most valuable aspect of this solution for me has been the configuration-based UI. Once you get the hang of it, it enables you to easily develop an API. In addition, it has many in-built policies that are quite handy."
"This solution has given us a competitive advantage because we have better automation and insight."
"What I like the most about the solution is that it comes with ready-made tools like handling security tokens and OAuth."
"There are certain restrictions that cannot be implemented without web access."
"API Gateway lacks some governance features that MuleSoft offers, and there are additional features that could make it even better."
"The solution could improve signature validation."
"From a use cases perspective, you need to have an internal and external gateway. AWS can only handle external traffic so has to be used together with another solution."
"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."
"Its performance and scalability could be better compared to one of its competitors."
"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."
"Amazon API Gateway will wait for only 30 seconds to get a response from other services, such as the Lambda function."
"In terms of improvements, maybe on the API monetization side, having users able to create separate consumption plans and throttle all those consumption plans towards the run time could be better."
"The price has room for improvement."
"It is an expensive solution and not very suitable for smaller businesses."
"The configuring of the JWT token would be improved as it is a confusing process. We require more information on this part of the solution."
"They should develop clear visibility for the onboarding."
"Understanding the overall architecture is difficult."
"With respect to the API gateway, the runtime component, the stability after a new release is something that can be improved."
"There are things that could be improved with the webMethods API gateway. One thing is that it's too attached to the integration service and we'd like it to be a little bit more independent. We would like for them to separate operations so that it doesn't rely on the bulky integration server and so that it can be used everywhere."
