Sagar SampadMall - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides robust security for financial transactions and protects the ERP database from direct exposure
My main feedback is about the account management. I feel they should connect with clients more frequently, beyond just selling the product. They should actively seek feedback and tailor the approach to client needs. It shouldn't always be about pushing additional products. My main suggestion is focused solely on the account management approach, specifically fostering closer and more proactive client relationships. So, the pricing could also be bit improvement.
Mahaboob Pasha - PeerSpot reviewer
Secure and simplify API management with effective deployment options

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The security, the authentication, and the publishing qualities are great."
"It is very secure, easy to manage, and easy to configure. It is a web-based API. Moreover, we get direct support from Oracle guys."
"The most valuable features for us are security and centralization."
"The initial setup isn't overly difficult."
"The solution is stable."
"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."
"All API usage is now governed and tracked."
"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."
"Oracle API Platform Cloud Service's UI is quite user-friendly and supports a hybrid deployment model."
"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 security mode and the deployment process are significant assets, offering simplified deployment and effective troubleshooting options, including Docker support."
 

Cons

"Oracle should actively seek feedback and tailor the approach to client needs. It shouldn't always be about pushing additional products."
"We'd like it if they could reduce the cost without sacrificing on features."
"From an administration and developer point of view, the user interface and user experience are not great."
"Before gaining experience with the product, I found that it was not simple to use and things took longer to do than I had anticipated."
"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."
"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."
"In future updates, we might be interested to see more enhancements after exploring the existing features over the next year."
"In the next release, I would like to see more security policies and for it to include an on-cloud gateway."
"Oracle API Platform Cloud Service provides an API documentation tool, which is quite outdated."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Oracle is not a cheap solution and it is not affordable for all of our clients in Portugal."
"Pricing depends on the specific services used."
"The pricing is for each logical gateway (a logical gateway can have multiple physical nodes)."
"The solution is expensive to scale."
"Oracle API Platform Cloud Service is a cheap solution."
