Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable features for us are security and centralization.""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.""The initial setup isn't overly difficult."

More Oracle API Management Pros →

"You can set up workflows and write limited pieces of logic.""The portal for developers that this solution provides has great functionality.""The feature I find most valuable is that this solution allows us to manage our security.""The most valuable feature is the load balancing with the circuit-breaker function.""The scalability is very good. That was a key factor in the selection, like how it could be pushed to high volume and scalability, which seemed to be very good.""It is a good product for API management."

Cons
"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.""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."

More Oracle API Management Cons →

"I would like to see some additional features like having some extensions for .NET core because we use it for our back-end language.""We would like a better tool for generating documentation for the APIs to be developed.""In terms of our usage, the main area of concern is that they tend to build enhancements slightly ahead of the considerations for what those enhancements and extensions are. So it could be slightly better communication with the customer base that would be my main issue with them.""We ran it for a while, but then we decided to move away from Tyk, because Tyk's cloud version, the SaaS version, has a significant limitation of limited flexibility, so you can't program very much.""Sometimes when new features are released, they are not immediately stable.""It is a young product and does not have the kind of brand recognition that would make it a more popular solution with our clients."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Oracle is not a cheap solution and it is not affordable for all of our clients in Portugal."
  • More Oracle API Management Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The price is low compared to other products of a similar type."
  • "There are different versions and plans available depending on the requirements, so there is flexibility in terms of the pricing."
  • "It had a free version, which suited many of our needs, but not all, but we were happy to go ahead with the licensed version as well, which is the paid version."
  • "We are using the open-source version of this product, so there are no licensing costs for its use."
  • "The cost curve is far smoother, both in terms of volume and the number of calls it's running on, compared to most competitors. So it's a tad more expensive at the very low end, but the curve is nothing like Apigee or some of the others."
