The ability to configure rules to check for consistency has helped

Apiary provides a free tier of the platform which allows a small group of developers to collaborate easily on the design of open source APIs. In addition to this, it provides mock endpoints allowing people to experiment with the API without depending or having to stand up a real backend. With our clients, using Apiary allows us to very quickly pull together an API definition (particularly when using API Blueprint). The whole API design process for the simpler use cases can be done in a relatively short workshop which makes it a lot easier to agree, publish, version-manage an API definition with suitable documentation. This can then be evolved and enhanced (particularly in the documentation aspects). With the ability to support Swagger (Open API v2 and introducing/ed support for v3) and API Blueprint makes it a very versatile tool.

Log analytics are quite good, offers the ability to completely privatize API access through the console if desired

Since we are familiar with OCI, it's easy for us to install and handle the other processes. However, if someone has limited knowledge, it can be a bit difficult. I find OCI to be highly professional yet understandable. If someone has the technical expertise, it's easy for them. Sometimes, if there are glitches, it can take a while. We occasionally face situations where we're unsure if the installation is completed. Refreshing the page is often necessary, and sometimes it installs correctly afterward. This can feel like a lag. Aside from those glitches (I'm not sure what's happening on the backend), the processes, policies, and security aspects are all quite good. However, maintenance is easy. In comparison, platforms like Azure might be a bit more user-friendly, even for those without extensive technical knowledge.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"I find the generation of mock services very useful, especially when demonstrating for new consumers."

"In two years, there was one time the service was down for an hour or so."

"Git integration"

"I do like the overall performance of the solution."

"Quick and easy way to share a new API design with teams."

"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 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."

"The most valuable features are the easy integration with the Oracle cloud, and that it's easy to use."

"All API usage is now governed and tracked."

"The solution is stable."

"Oracle API Platform Cloud Service's UI is quite user-friendly and supports a hybrid deployment model."

Cons

"I would like an integrated option to download a Swagger version of the definition."

"The Oracle release cycle is very bad because the patches only update once a year."

"Swagger (OpenAPI Specification) and Blueprint Support"

"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."

"I would like to see enhanced support for SOAP Service and the corresponding WS-Security policies."

"In the next release, I would like to see more security policies and for it to include an on-cloud gateway."

"The solution's cost in terms of scaling could be better."

"Oracle API Platform Cloud Service provides an API documentation tool, which is quite outdated."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is easy to get started with personal (free) accounts, but a subscription is required for additional features."

"There is a free subscription option to start and try the service."

"The solution is expensive to scale."

"The pricing is for each logical gateway (a logical gateway can have multiple physical nodes)."

"Pricing depends on the specific services used."

"Oracle API Platform Cloud Service is a cheap solution."
