We performed a comparison between IBM API Connect and Oracle Integration Cloud Service based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Integration Platform as a Service (iPaaS) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Security is well organized and managed within the solution."
"I have found the API Management to be most valuable."
"API Connect's most valuable feature is its ability to act as a gateway. It's very easy to configure security and everything else in it. You don't have to kill yourself implementing custom configurations."
"Since it runs on top of Datapower, all Datapower based custom policies can be utilized and exported to API connect but its not straightforward/simple process."
"Policy configurations are pretty easy."
"Easy to configure security and generate API keys."
"DataPower Gateway holds significant value for us as it serves as the cornerstone of our enterprise security controls."
"It has all of the tools that are needed for the specific mission."
"The initial setup is easy."
"In general, there were a lot of great utilities for working with files."
"Technical support responds quickly."
"People are able to scale up, learn it quickly, and start delivering."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Integration Cloud Service is its ease of use. We do not depend on any tool to develop it. Everything is on the browser and is easy to integrate, even for someone who does not understand a lot about coding."
"Oracle Integration Cloud Service is a really good product and the ROI is very good with it. It lowers development time. A development cycle that may have taken a year without Oracle Integration Cloud Service can drop down to three or four months with it."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The most important part would be the use of connectors. The significant number of cloud connectors available for active integration is its value."
"One thing about API Connect that could be improved is the security schemes. There are so many security schemes, and from a product perspective, IBM could improve the user experience of the configuration security scheme."
"The new version is very unstable."
"The documentation needs to be a bit better."
"Business applications could be exposed to users."
"We ran it on top of the Kubernetes cluster, so it wasn't a standalone service. In the worst-case scenario, API Connect couldn't stay online if all the containers went down. We had to restart all the services. We shut down all the containers automatically one by one."
"We've had some issues upgrading to the latest version of the solution."
"I would like to see support for non-Java based services. We struggle a bit to be able to deploy and connect our .NET services because of things like data types. We had to map a couple of things. For one solution provider, we had to move them to .NET Core before we could use it properly. I would like to see more agnostic tool service platforms rather than moving it more towards Java or open source."
"There is room for improvement regarding the connectivity of the DevOps."
"Lacks features for more complex integrations."
"In designer mode, sometimes the browser closure or other unknown issues can cause strange behavior, which requires a restart."
"They should provide tutorials for beginners to learn about the processes."
"They need to make tools framework available for implementation partners"
"Make it more similar to the on-premises features. For example, if you can edit the code directly rather than just dragging and dropping, or if you can edit the examples by going into the background, and one-click migration, I'd like to see included in the next release."
"The solution doesn't currently have a fully fledged workflow feature like they have in OIM."
"There is a payload size limit and we're unable to integrate some legacy applications."
"Oracle Integration Cloud Service can improve the downloading and uploading of files. I've submitted this issue to the Oracle Idea Labs. The issue is from the front end of Oracle Integration Cloud, we cannot download or upload a file directly or drag and drop it."
