We performed a comparison between Microsoft Azure API Management and Oracle API Platform Cloud Service based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two API Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The ability to easily connect back to Service Fabric is the most important for us."
"Microsoft Azure API Management is better because it has a DevOps integration by default."
"Initial setup was quite easy."
"There were no scalability issues."
"Microsoft Azure API Management is 90 to 99 percent scalable. We have three instances running in parallel."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Azure API Management is monitoring. When compared with Apigee, I prefer Microsoft Azure API Management."
"I like the support they provide for the APIs more than the solution itself. First of all, documentation-wise, both Microsoft Azure and even Google Cloud are up there. But in comparison, the real-time consulting and support for APIs make Microsoft stand out a little. I also like the performance. Standard public cloud provider-built APIs are more resilient and flexible in terms of what feature you want to use and what feature you don't want to use, and they're more customizable. They are more resilient in terms of performance in that particular environment because that is the design aspect of the offering. When public clouds build APIs and deploy them after testing them on their framework for a certain amount of time, I feel there is a massive difference in the product's performance. On the interface, everything is strong."
"Azure API Management is an API gateway that can be used for different purposes, for example, to monetize APIs."
"The solution is stable."
"All API usage is now governed and tracked."
"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 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's APIP CS is a platform capable for consistently covering the complete API Lifecycle from design to retirement, supporting an API-first approach."
"The hybrid part could be improved because API Management is entirely cloud-based, but some of our resources are on-prem, so formatting is an issue. Our goal is dual implementation."
"Technical support could be more flexible and try to meet the client's needs a bit more effectively."
"The documentation could be improved for the customer."
"Price is the first thing that comes to mind. It's quite expensive, which could be a barrier for some users."
"Azure is our most expensive resource; it's costly."
"Could use clearer configuration when it comes to API policies."
"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."
"Microsoft Azure API Management needs to improve stability."
"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."
"Even when an API is functioning correctly, there seems to be a glitch within OCI (Oracle Cloud Infrastructure)."
"I would like to see enhanced support for SOAP Service and the corresponding WS-Security policies."
"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."
"In the next release, I would like to see more security policies and for it to include an on-cloud gateway."
