Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Google, Amazon Web Services (AWS) and others in API Management."The security, the authentication, and the publishing qualities are great."
"The most valuable features for us are security and centralization."
"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 initial setup isn't overly difficult."
"The most valuable aspect of this solution for me has been the configuration-based UI. Once you get the hang of it, it enables you to easily develop an API. In addition, it has many in-built policies that are quite handy."
"I like the solution's policies, transformation, mediation, and routing features."
"There were no complexities involved in the setup phase...The product is able to meet my company's API protection needs."
"In the API gateway, there is a new feature that allows us to filter logs within a payload. This has been a useful feature."
"It's a good tool, and it has a stable messaging broker."
"The cloud version of the solution is very easy to set up."
"Within the new version, webMethods API Gateway gives us an end-to-end lifecycle from the creation of the API up into the development, deployment, and promotion into production/live. The current end-to-end lifecycle of the API gives us enough authority and governance of the API. We know what are currently live services, what is in the testing stage of development, and what version that has been commissioned. So, the full life cycle itself gives us full authority and governance of the API."
"This solution has given us a competitive advantage because we have better automation and insight."
"From an administration and developer point of view, the user interface and user experience are not great."
"We'd like it if they could reduce the cost without sacrificing on features."
"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."
"Oracle should actively seek feedback and tailor the approach to client needs. It shouldn't always be about pushing additional products."
"In terms of improvements, maybe on the API monetization side, having users able to create separate consumption plans and throttle all those consumption plans towards the run time could be better."
"The high price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"With respect to the API gateway, the runtime component, the stability after a new release is something that can be improved."
"The configuring of the JWT token would be improved as it is a confusing process. We require more information on this part of the solution."
"It is an expensive solution and not very suitable for smaller businesses."
"They should develop clear visibility for the onboarding."
"With performance, there is room for improvement in regards to if we would like to put another extra layer of security on it, such as SSL. This is affecting their performance quite significantly. They need to improve the process of managing the SSL and other things inside their solutions, so there will not be quite such a significant impact to the performance."
"There are things that could be improved with the webMethods API gateway. One thing is that it's too attached to the integration service and we'd like it to be a little bit more independent. We would like for them to separate operations so that it doesn't rely on the bulky integration server and so that it can be used everywhere."
