"API Enhanced Portal 4.1 looks very promising. API Gateway policy manager for writing policies is excellent. It is the best in the industry for policy writing."
"Some of the performance matrix that API Gateway gives off, we monitor them via SNMP traps, and then we tie them into our monitoring system. You can actually monitor some of the latencies and some of the performance aspects of both API Gateways, as well back end services. So having that line of sight surely helps in terms DevOps."
"Almost all security features are available out-of-the-box and can be deployed rapidly."
"The most valuable feature is the security with its out-of-the-box policies."
"A big win for CA was the expertise of the local country support plus having support staff on site in a matter of hours, if required."
"The product supports more than just HTTP protocols; it also caters to JMS and FTP protocols."
"It is helpful to have a central API that is hosted and managed."
"The initial setup process is easy and flexible."
"The most valuable features for us are security and centralization."
"The initial setup isn't overly difficult."
"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."
"The security, the authentication, and the publishing qualities are great."
"On the monitoring side, we need a better way to monitor it. CA has not given a clear understanding of what external tools we can use to do this."
"One area where it certainly needs to improve is the way it allocates requests, in terms of rate limiting. Also, there is no native Kafka connectivity."
"It needs better mobile features and HA configuration."
"Some users say that the API lacks some features and is lagging behind the competition although that has not been my personal experience."
"The Portal is not stable."
"There is room for improvement in terms of innovation and investment, especially when compared to other leading products in the market."
"There is a need for the migration of policies, better reporting, and monitoring integration."
"There are old algorithms that the tool does not support - and it shouldn't, in my opinion. But sometimes customers need old algorithms, from old use cases and old applications, migrated to the platform. At those times, there are hiccups that happen."
"From an administration and developer point of view, the user interface and user experience are not great."
"Oracle should actively seek feedback and tailor the approach to client needs. It shouldn't always be about pushing additional products."
"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."
