Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Oracle's APIP CS is a platform capable for consistently covering the complete API Lifecycle from design to retirement, supporting an API-first approach.""All API usage is now governed and tracked.""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.""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.""Oracle API Platform Cloud Service's UI is quite user-friendly and supports a hybrid deployment model.""The most valuable features are the easy integration with the Oracle cloud, and that it's easy to use.""The solution is stable."

More Oracle API Platform Cloud Service Pros →

"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.""The most valuable feature is the load balancing with the circuit-breaker function.""It is a good product for API management.""The feature I find most valuable is that this solution allows us to manage our security.""You can set up workflows and write limited pieces of logic.""The portal for developers that this solution provides has great functionality."

Cons
"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WS-Security policies.""Oracle API Platform Cloud Service provides an API documentation tool, which is quite outdated.""In the next release, I would like to see more security policies and for it to include an on-cloud gateway.""Even when an API is functioning correctly, there seems to be a glitch within OCI (Oracle Cloud Infrastructure).""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.""The solution's cost in terms of scaling could be better."

More Oracle API Platform Cloud Service 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.""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.""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.""Sometimes when new features are released, they are not immediately stable.""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.""We would like a better tool for generating documentation for the APIs to be developed."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The pricing is for each logical gateway (a logical gateway can have multiple physical nodes)."
  • "The solution is expensive to scale."
  • "Oracle API Platform Cloud Service is a cheap solution."
  • "Pricing depends on the specific services used."
  • More Oracle API Platform Cloud Service 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."
