Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Google, Amazon Web Services (AWS) and others in API Management."We loved the portal part the most, which had monetization and showed how people were using the stuff. It is a good product as a whole and has a lot of microservices and granular features."
"It impresses me as a product because it never goes down. It always does what it is supposed to do."
"Almost all security features are available out-of-the-box and can be deployed rapidly."
"The Mobile API Gateway is also great."
"The solution helped us to quickly publish and monetize APIs. I have used versioning responses to publish or send APIs to different customers with different versions."
"The most valuable feature is that it enables me to present data in the format that the client wants to consume it. That client might be a visualization tool, that client might be a report, that client might be a customer's API requirements."
"The solution fills our two most important concerns in seeking an API solution by providing a reliable gateway and security options."
"The product supports more than just HTTP protocols; it also caters to JMS and FTP protocols."
"The most valuable features for us are security and centralization."
"The initial setup isn't overly difficult."
"The security, the authentication, and the publishing qualities are great."
"It is very secure, easy to manage, and easy to configure. It is a web-based API. Moreover, we get direct support from Oracle guys."
"I feel there is a lot to improve in terms of providing plug-and-play functionalities, as at the moment it requires a lot of coding in their specific language for implementing a medium-complexity use case."
"Provide complete documentation with examples of usage on its build in assertion/function."
"More developer focused tools. They have a nice debugger inside of the program, but when you are developing code with their policies, it is tough to visualize that sometimes as a developer."
"We have experienced technical difficulties with the product in the past."
"There could be more integration options included in the product."
"The entire lifecycle management approach needs improvement: from the API management, development, deployment, some of the settings around the quotas, and some security policy applications, etc. for the APIs. We found the Apigee platform a lot more robust in that area."
"The architecture of the solution does not allow for flexibility in using different components for the gateway architecture."
"The security protocols in CA's product, for financial services, weren't as good as those in API Connect."
"We'd like it if they could reduce the cost without sacrificing on features."
"Before gaining experience with the product, I found that it was not simple to use and things took longer to do than I had anticipated."
"Oracle should actively seek feedback and tailor the approach to client needs. It shouldn't always be about pushing additional products."
"From an administration and developer point of view, the user interface and user experience are not great."
