Transforms internal APIs with secure, manageable cloud compatibility
Our primary use case for Microsoft Azure API Management is to front internal APIs and make them cloud-compatible. It adds extra authentication on top of old APIs and acts as a proxy towards internal APIs, providing a single endpoint that can manage multiple APIs behind it. This is particularly…

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

"The solution has significantly improved our organization by providing a user-friendly and easy-to-deploy API management system."
"We're very satisfied with Azure API Management. We've had no issues with bugs, everything runs smoothly, and the connection between the cloud and the on-premise infrastructure was good."
"Access control is the most valuable aspect."
"API Management does not take long to deploy."
"The solution has overall high performance."
"The solution's configuration capabilities are the most effective features for enhancing API security."
"The tool's most valuable feature is the integration of CI/CD with the API gateway."
"The product gives API gateway-related features, like throttling, which are easy to use and low-code/no-code."
"The solution is stable."
"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 most valuable features are the easy integration with the Oracle cloud, and that it's easy to use."
"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 Gateways are communicating with a Management Service, which lives in the Cloud, to send usage information or to fetch changes for the deployed APIs."
"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."
 

Cons

"Maybe the customization could be a bit better."
"What would make Microsoft Azure API Management better are more APIs. They keep updating their APIs, but it would be better if the solution had more APIs for the services and more integration with other platforms."
"An area for improvement in Microsoft Azure API Management is deployment, in particular, the deployment of versions in Oryx. The development to production instance isn't adequate for me and needs to be improved. Microsoft Azure API Management lacks automation, which is another area for improvement."
"The implementation has room for improvement and can be more user-friendly."
"They need to work on the third party integrations."
"Security could be improved."
"The API gateway can be very complex."
"Multi-tenant functionalities is missing from the system, especially when it comes to the developer code of features."
"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."
"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."
"The solution's cost in terms of scaling could be better."
"I would like to see enhanced support for SOAP Service and the corresponding WS-Security policies."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's an expensive solution"
"The solution appears cheaper because it's a cloud SaaS model."
"The developer and standard pricing tiers of Azure API Management are very competitive compared to other products."
"The product pricing is reasonable."
"I would describe the tool's price as being in the mid-range category."
"I rate the solution's pricing between three and four, as it could be more competitive."
"There are no additional costs above the main license."
"Azure's pricing is very competitive compared to platforms like Apigee and MuleSoft."
"The pricing is for each logical gateway (a logical gateway can have multiple physical nodes)."
"Pricing depends on the specific services used."
"The solution is expensive to scale."
"Oracle API Platform Cloud Service is a cheap solution."
