Ease of creating APIs with ongoing updates needed for automation
AWS has made it easy for developers like me to create and manage GraphQL APIs. The ease of use is a main advantage, allowing even beginners to start from scratch and learn through AppSync. Before AWS, developing and managing APIs was quite complex. AWS provided AppSync, which assists developers and startup founders. Startups blooming everywhere benefit from this service, welcoming those who lack prior knowledge. When working on AWS, I notice that Amazon regularly implements new features. For instance, with the Lambda service, AWS is transitioning from an old editor to a new one. Similarly, AppSync frequently introduces updates and changes. This trend is making the user interface more accessible, even for individuals without a technical background. Additionally, the cost is attractive, as AWS operates on a pay-as-you-go basis. These factors make AppSync both easy to use and cost-effective.

Integration experience improves operational efficiency and automation
It is very easy to integrate, and the pre-built APIs available to connect multiple systems help establish connections faster and more accurately. Customers need not worry about data volume flow, and Oracle charges based on usage. Multiple packages are available, such as 10 million messages per annum, allowing customers to choose packages for optimum cost. Oracle Integration Cloud Service makes it simple to connect any third-party products, and Oracle is key for adding pre-built APIs. For all major products, the APIs are available from Oracle itself. The implementation is simple because sufficient documentation is available, and my team has developed expertise. We know precisely what needs to be done. Based on scenarios, customers can have everything within their channel.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"AWS has made it easy for developers like me to create and manage GraphQL APIs."
"Support for multiple data sources and formats is a fantastic feature."
"AWS has made it easy for developers like me to create and manage GraphQL APIs."
"Technical support responds quickly."
"The most valuable features of Oracle Integration Cloud Service are the seeded integrations with many communication platforms, such as Slack and emails. It works best for the historical communication methods. Those are still prevalent with all the other clients. When we are doing the integrations, it makes it a little bit easier for us to communicate the same output over Slack, rather than sending out an email and downloading the report. The number of seeded functionalities within the Oracle Integration Cloud Service platform is better."
"We mainly use the solution's ICS component."
"The solution is scalable."
"In general, there were a lot of great utilities for working with files."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the SFTP adapters, file adapters, and risk adapters, that we use in everyday projects."
"The product's initial setup phase is the best since we don't have to do anything. There is nothing like where you need to do some kind of scaling or capacity planning."
"People are able to scale up, learn it quickly, and start delivering."
 

Cons

"In AppSync, assigning roles and permissions to APIs is necessary for accessing other AWS services. Automating this task when creating APIs would be beneficial."
"Moving to other clouds is impossible without significantly rearchitecting your applications."
"In AppSync, assigning roles and permissions to APIs is necessary for accessing other AWS services. Automating this task when creating APIs would be beneficial."
"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."
"The solution doesn't currently have a fully fledged workflow feature like they have in OIM."
"The solution is expensive."
"In designer mode, sometimes the browser closure or other unknown issues can cause strange behavior, which requires a restart."
"Now the platform is not built in a way that you can define."
"They need to make tools framework available for implementation partners"
"One area requiring improvement involves multi-tenancy scenarios, as no customers operate on a single cloud."
"The support and resources were lacking — they weren't there."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Licensing fees are paid on a monthly basis, and it is a pay-as-you-go model."
"The price of Oracle Integration Cloud Service is reasonable to start with, but when you scale it becomes expensive."
"In the case of Oracle Integration Cloud, costs can be "predictable" as far as the platform and infrastructure are concerned."
"The price is cheaper than all other cloud integration providers."
"The solution is less expensive than other products."
"The solution is cost-effective."
"Its pricing is relatively lower than other vendors."
"Oracle uses a universal credit model for OCI. Clients commit to an annual budget and can choose which products to use and build during their contract period. Billing is based on consumption - you're only billed for the products you use."
"It specifies how much data you use and how much storage you require, among other things."
