Cons
"In the next release, I would like to see more security policies and for it to include an on-cloud gateway.""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.""I would like to see enhanced support for SOAP Service and the corresponding WS-Security policies.""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(Oracle Cloud Infrastructure).""Oracle API Platform Cloud Service provides an API documentation tool, which is quite outdated.""The solution's cost in terms of scaling could be better."

More Oracle API Platform Cloud Service Cons →

"Integration is an area that needs to be improved.""I think they could greatly improve the general UX with their solutions.""The price and the complexities attached to the solution are two areas of concern where improvements are required.""WSO2 API Manager can be improved a lot relating to usability""We had some problems with the reverse proxy not being able to invoke fully qualified domain names, so we have to build some custom scripts to solve this issue.""The product hasn’t been updated for some time.""From what I have experienced from the versions I have tried, they could improve on the multi-tenant environments to allow some kind of SSO single sign-on between tenant.""The interface needs to be modernized and made more user friendly so the product continues to have a growing community of users."
