Likelihood to Recommend Experienced a lack of available programming languages while working on a minor project. I had to halt the project and wait for it to be added later. It took ages and had a hit on our productivity. It has a centralized management system which helps and an easy interface which helps to manage multiple tasks in case of large-scale operations and projects.

Multiple systems to interface for a task in the company (example: to sell an item your POS must communicate with the inventory software, then to accounting, then to service, etc). When a task must bring information from several external services. When you have to deal with multiple APIs. Not recommended for:
Data transformation (although Talend has a software for that that works with Talend ESB) Read full review Pros API Gateway integrates well with AWS Lambda. This allows us to build a web server in the language and framework of our choice, deploy it as a Lambda function, and expose it through API Gateway. API Gateway manages API keys. Building rate limiting and request quota features are not trivial (or interesting). API Gateway's pricing can be very attractive for services that are accessed infrequently.

Debugging across several services can be difficult when API GW is integrated with Route 53 and another service like Lambda or EC2/ELB. Creating internal/private APIs, particularly with custom domains, can be unintuitive.

They were always on time and very dependable. It was a good partnership while we worked to resolve our issues.

Azure API Management at the time, it had serious connectivity issues, it was very unstable, and it needed to do a lot using the command line. Comparing with the AWS solution, which was more mature, and the fact that we have services in use on AWS, we ended up choosing to continue using AWS products. This so as not to run the risk of increasing latency in accesses, and of some functionality not working, due to being developed yet.
Read full review First, it is a lot of cheaper than the closest competitor. Second, Talend ESB is in the same league as other stronger brands. Third, the functions and modules are a 360 solution to implement an ESB. Talend has a different approach to license since it is based on programmers and run times, not to users of cores.
Read full review Return on Investment ROI is negative, you need either to hire them to work with you or spend days/weeks to figure out issues. For some of the projects in the end it is not worth it, it is just a "buzz" to use serverless but not practical. Service is easy to set up authorization and it is easy to manage. Read full review Considerably cheaper than oracle service bus As I said before, you can run a POC using the community version of Talend Studio. Built from Open Source/ well-proven technologies, and a big community to support those technologies. Read full review ScreenShots
