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.""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.""From an administration and developer point of view, the user interface and user experience are not great."

More Oracle API Management Cons →

"Some of the things that we use cannot be done in this solution. For these things, we have to either use a Java service or a util service. There is no predefined or existing service that we can use. So, we have to work on the util service and write on top of it. Its price can also be better. It is pretty costly because they charge us for each transmission.""The on-premises setup can be difficult.""The improvement needed is related to the model's position. As of now, it seems to be more of a conceptual idea rather than a widely implemented solution. For how long"
