"I find the generation of mock services very useful, especially when demonstrating for new consumers."
"Git integration"
"In two years, there was one time the service was down for an hour or so."
"Quick and easy way to share a new API design with teams."
"It’s easy to set up."
"I like that security features can be integrated with API Management. I also like that you can perform rate-limiting and throttling functions."
"The solution is reliable and very stable."
"The UI management is very easy to use."
"Without a doubt, it has a very robust, strong marketplace where we can directly integrate with existing APIs and begin working on those."
"The initial setup is not that complex, but there are certain challenges."
"The API management is great."
"The ease of use of the solution is excellent."
"The Oracle release cycle is very bad because the patches only update once a year."
"I would like an integrated option to download a Swagger version of the definition."
"Swagger (OpenAPI Specification) and Blueprint Support"
"It should be easier to integrate."
"One of the most important improvements for us would be if it supported the HTTP/3 version and new protocol over a quick connection."
"The developer console for external users could be improved, especially in the testing site."
"Maybe the customization could be a bit better."
"Performance issues from this platform need to be sorted out."
"The portal where we publish the APIs could be improved. Maybe this is because we didn't configure it. It is quite easy to bypass API management because we have a lot of information shared on the portal, where we publish our APIs. I worry there is potential for a security breach in the API publishing. There needs to be more security available on terms of the way we publish them."
"Specific to API development, I think Microsoft is still far behind AWS. AWS has grown by leaps and bounds, and Microsoft is a close second. But in terms of features and other stuff they provide, Microsoft's compatibility with publicly available APIs is a little limited. So, that is a little bit of a constraint. But what they provide is good, it's just that they need to build more on their API suite. I think Google is doing a really good job at that."
"The external policies are impossible to look at and configure."
