We performed a comparison between Kong Gateway Enterprise and Oracle API Platform Cloud Service based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two API Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We use the solution for load-balancing, caching, and rate-limiting APIs."
"The solution provides good performance."
"Good at intercepting traffic and modeling APIs around that."
"The most valuable features of Kong Enterprise are the out-of-the-box open source easy functionality."
"This is a solid intrusion prevention system that combines a firewall and antivirus in a single solution."
"The tool's scalability is good...The solution's technical support is good."
"The tool's feature that I find most beneficial is rate limiting. In our usage, especially in the financial sector, we prioritize limiting API usage. This is crucial because we provide APIs to other companies and must ensure they adhere to their allocated usage limits. Without rate limiting, there's a risk of excessive usage, which could result in significant costs."
"The route limiting feature is very valuable."
"Oracle API Platform Cloud Service's UI is quite user-friendly and supports a hybrid deployment model."
"Oracle's APIP CS is a platform capable for consistently covering the complete API Lifecycle from design to retirement, supporting an API-first approach."
"The solution is stable."
"The Gateways are communicating with a Management Service, which lives in the Cloud, to send usage information or to fetch changes for the deployed APIs."
"All API usage is now governed and tracked."
"I find the customizable dashboards convenient. When you have a privatized dashboard, it's easy to log in, get an immediate snapshot of what's happening, and quickly address any problems."
"The most valuable features are the easy integration with the Oracle cloud, and that it's easy to use."
"Understanding the configurations and knowing what needs to be done can be a bit difficult initially."
"It becomes difficult if you try to scale it up to multiple clusters."
"We would like to see an automatic data API when we have a table in the database."
"The tool needs improvement in UX."
"We are facing issues with the solution's features like reports and traffic analysis."
"Because it is open-source, it should be less expensive than others."
"Kong is meant for north-south communications, so it will be interesting to see what solutions they can come up with in the realms of east-west communications, service-to-service communications, and Zero Trust architecture. I believe that if they can provide for these areas, then they will be able to solve the overall integration and security concerns for microservices architecture in general."
"They could focus more on pricing."
"In the next release, I would like to see more security policies and for it to include an on-cloud gateway."
"I would like to see enhanced support for SOAP Service and the corresponding WS-Security policies."
"Oracle API Platform Cloud Service provides an API documentation tool, which is quite outdated."
"There should be closer integration between the API Platform Cloud Service and the Identity Cloud Service to allow IDCS Applications, protecting backend systems, to be linked to the API Applications that consumers use to access APIs."
"Even when an API is functioning correctly, there seems to be a glitch within OCI (Oracle Cloud Infrastructure)."
"The solution's cost in terms of scaling could be better."
