We performed a comparison between IBM API Connect and Oracle Integration Cloud Service based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Integration Platform as a Service (iPaaS) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The management of the API and API portal is good."
"This product is well integrated with other products. Its ability to interact with IBM Secure Gateway and other integration products is the core feature. Also, the lead time to put it into production is relatively short ."
"Its speed and performance are valuable."
"API Connect's most valuable feature is its ability to act as a gateway. It's very easy to configure security and everything else in it. You don't have to kill yourself implementing custom configurations."
"API Connect's data gateway is one of the strongest in the market."
"The most valuable features of IBM API Connect are its performance and user-friendliness."
"We are able to share those APIs instantly within the organization; even if we want to share it outside publicly, then we can have those capabilities."
"This is a very easy to use solution."
"The Oracle integration tool is the most comfortable tool for using those Oracle products."
"The initial setup of Oracle Integration Cloud Service was easy."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Integration Cloud Service is its ease of use. We do not depend on any tool to develop it. Everything is on the browser and is easy to integrate, even for someone who does not understand a lot about coding."
"Oracle Integration Cloud Service offers a lot of adaptors."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Integration Cloud Service is its performance."
"The OIC is very good."
"Oracle Integration Cloud Service integrates well and is user-friendly. If you are not a developer or ops engineer you can still use the solution with ease. You do not need to have developers' knowledge, you can easily adapt and learn quickly to integrate the services. They have good documentation."
"It's based on a little bit dated architecture. A lot of evolution has happened after that. It's an evolving field. Kong is a Kubernetes-based platform. Kong runs on Kubernetes, but all the other ones are in microservices. So, there's a lot of improvement that can be done."
"I would like to see automation of the installation. If there could be a single-click function where you could automate everything, that would be helpful."
"There is room for improvement regarding the connectivity of the DevOps."
"Like any typical IBM infrastructure setup, you need to learn to set it up yourself. It's not one of those simple zip files or an archive unzip and you're up and running in some few minutes. Knowledge to set it up is key."
"Improving the documentation would be beneficial as it currently presents navigation challenges. Incorporating a step-by-step guide could facilitate the integration or migration of various systems, including databases. The existing documentation only comprises plain text, hence incorporating more interactive instructions could enhance its usefulness."
"The new version is very unstable."
"The only disadvantage I can see is that it requires heavy hardware support."
"It would be nice to have a SaaS solution that can be deployed into the cloud."
"We would love to have more and more ready-to-use interfaces from Oracle."
"The error retrying mechanism could be improved. If an error occurs, it can be retried automatically, it would be helpful."
"There is a payload size limit and we're unable to integrate some legacy applications."
"Oracle Integration Cloud Service can improve the downloading and uploading of files. I've submitted this issue to the Oracle Idea Labs. The issue is from the front end of Oracle Integration Cloud, we cannot download or upload a file directly or drag and drop it."
"Oracle-based automation blueprints for the majority of the integrations would be helpful to have in a future release."
"They should provide tutorials for beginners to learn about the processes."
"Lacks features for more complex integrations."
"The logging capabilities could be enhanced. Currently, logs are only retained for a few days, which can be inconvenient for administrators. Ideally, we'd like the option to configure log retention periods, like a month or fifteen days, instead of the current one-week limit."
