Provides robust security for financial transactions and protects the ERP database from direct exposure
My main feedback is about the account management. I feel they should connect with clients more frequently, beyond just selling the product. They should actively seek feedback and tailor the approach to client needs. It shouldn't always be about pushing additional products. My main suggestion is focused solely on the account management approach, specifically fostering closer and more proactive client relationships. So, the pricing could also be bit improvement.

Effortless integration with REST APIs enhances business process management
The product's capabilities for integrating with REST APIs are valuable. We use API key-based security integration, where API keys are exchanged between the REST APIs. This ensures security. In the future, we might also use OAuth-based integration. Internally, the business process manager allows us to define the process and integrate with it. Additionally, the capability to define processes and seamless integration with APIs enhances our operations.

Cons

"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."
"We'd like it if they could reduce the cost without sacrificing on features."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Oracle is not a cheap solution and it is not affordable for all of our clients in Portugal."

"I am using the free version."
"It is costly, around ten thousand per year, per instance"
"I think the other competitors that are providing the same solution are quite expensive. WSO2 API Manager is quite cheap."
"As far as I'm aware, the costs are not minimal but satisfactory."
"It is an open-source product."
"The solution costs less than 20,000 euros a year. I'm not sure of the exact number."
"It's not expensive, but it could be cheaper."
