Secure and simplify API management with effective deployment options
In our organization, we use Oracle API Platform Cloud Service primarily to host and manage our middleware APIs. Our middleware APIs are registered on this platform and exposed to a fixed domain, which supports our organizational goals effectively Since our enterprise has many APIs, Oracle API…

Centralized collaboration has transformed API testing and documentation across multiple teams
In terms of improvement, the UI can sometimes feel heavy for larger collections in the workspaces. Additionally, performance may slow down with complex API projects, and pricing can be expensive for smaller teams. However, it is quite suitable for bigger teams. Other areas for improvement include better reporting and analytics dashboards, and more advanced native test environment features could enhance workflow, with smoother offline support and sync handling. Additionally, better performance for very large collections would be helpful, along with more intuitive navigation for enterprise-scale workspaces, stronger reporting analytics, easier management of permissions across large teams, and more flexible automation and testing report options would be beneficial. Small usability and performance improvements would make Postman Enterprise even more efficient for larger organizations. Postman Enterprise needs better performance optimization for large enterprises, more detailed analytics user reporting, improved API governance and audit visibility, simpler permissions and access control management, faster sync and loading times for larger collections, and more advanced built-in testing and reporting capabilities.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"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."
"The solution is stable."
"Oracle's APIP CS is a platform capable for consistently covering the complete API Lifecycle from design to retirement, supporting an API-first approach."
"The security mode and the deployment process are significant assets, offering simplified deployment and effective troubleshooting options, including Docker support."
"All API usage is now governed and tracked."
"Oracle API Platform Cloud Service's UI is quite user-friendly and supports a hybrid deployment model."
"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."
"This is a fairly good tool and I would recommend it to others."
"Among the valuable features are data-driven automation response validation testing of the performance of APIs."
"It is nice to have different workspaces. You have your personal workspace, and then you have a team workspace. In general, I like its UI. It is quite cool."
"In general, we have more visibility about the APIs that we have and how they work, and we also have more visibility about the documentation, with a lot of users now familiar with APIs because Postman has quite a user-friendly UI, leading to an educational improvement."
"It allowed us to understand the working and performance of the APIs."
"I like that it is very easy to use, and I also like the automation feature."
"Postman has helped with storing data, sharing test cases, and reporting, making it much easier to share test cases with teammates and automatically handle raw data and new structures or formats, which makes my life much easier."
"We use it for REST API testing. Feature-wise, it is pretty lightweight. It is pretty fast, and we don't have to do a lot of things. We can just simply go and post our endpoint, and it gives different kinds of authorizations. We usually use authentication 2.0, which is the most common industry practice. So, it has the support for authorization through 2.0."
 

Cons

"I would like to see enhanced support for SOAP Service and the corresponding WS-Security policies."
"In the next release, I would like to see more security policies and for it to include an on-cloud gateway."
"The on-premises connectivity can be improved because it is still not at its best."
"The challenge is the product is getting new features at rapid pace."
"Even when an API is functioning correctly, there seems to be a glitch within OCI (Oracle Cloud Infrastructure)."
"Oracle API Platform Cloud Service provides an API documentation tool, which is quite outdated."
"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."
"In future updates, we might be interested to see more enhancements after exploring the existing features over the next year."
"We cannot see transaction times in the product."
"Something that could be better is the inclusion of another type of test, for example, end-to-end tests."
"The solution has some user interface difficulties when conducting environment collections. It is important to be careful when storing information to ensure files are secure and not lost."
"I think Postman Enterprise can be improved in the way that it has many features that are spread across all the screen."
"I would appreciate seeing Postman become more automated."
"The solution can be improved by providing detailed error logs including the line the error took place to make it easier to correct."
"Integration of the solution towards Bitbucket, BitHub, and CI pipelines is difficult."
"There is no support for the testing of the SOAP APIs."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing depends on the specific services used."
"Oracle API Platform Cloud Service is a cheap solution."
"The solution is expensive to scale."
"The pricing is for each logical gateway (a logical gateway can have multiple physical nodes)."
"We are using the free version that is available."
"Its price is moderate as compared to other competitors. The version that we are using is not open source, so it is not free."
"We are currently using the free version, but we have plans to buy a license."
"I rate the product's price a nine or ten on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is very expensive. Postman is an expensive tool for Turkey."
"This solution offers a free version."
"Postman is an open-source product. It is free to download from Google."
"We use the open-source version. They introduced a new licensing model where your company must subscribe to their services if you're using it for business purposes. However, I think they charge too much if you're only using the basic features. It limits what your organization can do if you're not a paying customer."
"This tool is open-source and free to download and use."
