Centralized traffic control has improved monitoring and simplified our Kubernetes API management
Gloo Platform features include Kubernetes-native API gateways, routing control, API routing, and seamless integration with various environments. It supports multi-clusters and hybrid cloud deployments, which are the most valuable features for Gloo Platform. Our requirements in our organization are fully satisfied by these features, so we really appreciate using Gloo Platform. Since I have been using Gloo Platform, I have noticed benefits from implementing API Gateway capabilities and controlling traffic routing.

These are the most valuable assets for our organization.

Pros

"Organizations are highly recommended to use Gloo Platform because it will have a great impact on their organization."
"Gloo Platform's features are optimal for my use case because I have numerous applications and microservices running, requiring rate limiting and traffic management integrated into one platform, which proves very beneficial."
"You don't need many frameworks or other things to run Glue."
"All orders are now in real-time and we are adding extra features that can tell us who is placing the order and the different levels of access to different types of customers."
"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."
"This is part of our new digital offering for customers and has helped with new prospects to offer a modern secure API solution, therefore it is having a real impact on the business adoption of API integration for customers."
"The ease by which you can define policies to manage is impressive."
"Oracle's APIP CS is a platform capable for consistently covering the complete API Lifecycle from design to retirement, supporting an API-first approach."
"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."
"Oracle API Platform Cloud Service's UI is quite user-friendly and supports a hybrid deployment model."
"The most valuable features are the easy integration with the Oracle cloud, and that it's easy to use."
 

Cons

"I sometimes face issues with integration."
"The solution's cost in terms of scaling could be better."
"Even when an API is functioning correctly, there seems to be a glitch within OCI (Oracle Cloud Infrastructure)."
"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."
"In future updates, we might be interested to see more enhancements after exploring the existing features over the next year."
"The challenge is the product is getting new features at rapid pace."
"I would like to see enhanced support for SOAP Service and the corresponding WS-Security policies."
"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."
