We performed a comparison between Oracle API Platform Cloud Service and webMethods API Gateway 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."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's APIP CS is a platform capable for consistently covering the complete API Lifecycle from design to retirement, supporting an API-first approach."
"Oracle API Platform Cloud Service's UI is quite user-friendly and supports a hybrid deployment model."
"All API usage is now governed and tracked."
"The solution is stable."
"The most valuable features are the easy integration with the Oracle cloud, and that it's easy to use."
"The cloud version of the solution is very easy to set up."
"The most valuable aspect of this solution for me has been the configuration-based UI. Once you get the hang of it, it enables you to easily develop an API. In addition, it has many in-built policies that are quite handy."
"It's a good tool, and it has a stable messaging broker."
"The developer portal is a valuable feature."
"Within the new version, webMethods API Gateway gives us an end-to-end lifecycle from the creation of the API up into the development, deployment, and promotion into production/live. The current end-to-end lifecycle of the API gives us enough authority and governance of the API. We know what are currently live services, what is in the testing stage of development, and what version that has been commissioned. So, the full life cycle itself gives us full authority and governance of the API."
"What I like the most about the solution is that it comes with ready-made tools like handling security tokens and OAuth."
"I like the solution's policies, transformation, mediation, and routing features."
"This solution has given us a competitive advantage because we have better automation and insight."
"I would like to see enhanced support for SOAP Service and the corresponding WS-Security policies."
"The solution's cost in terms of scaling could be better."
"Even when an API is functioning correctly, there seems to be a glitch within OCI (Oracle Cloud Infrastructure)."
"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."
"In the next release, I would like to see more security policies and for it to include an on-cloud gateway."
"Understanding the overall architecture is difficult."
"It is an expensive solution and not very suitable for smaller businesses."
"In terms of improvements, maybe on the API monetization side, having users able to create separate consumption plans and throttle all those consumption plans towards the run time could be better."
"With respect to the API gateway, the runtime component, the stability after a new release is something that can be improved."
"The price has room for improvement."
"There are things that could be improved with the webMethods API gateway. One thing is that it's too attached to the integration service and we'd like it to be a little bit more independent. We would like for them to separate operations so that it doesn't rely on the bulky integration server and so that it can be used everywhere."
"The configuring of the JWT token would be improved as it is a confusing process. We require more information on this part of the solution."
"They should develop clear visibility for the onboarding."
