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

"The ease by which you can define policies to manage is impressive."
"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."
"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 solution is stable."
"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."
"All API usage is now governed and tracked."
"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 most valuable features are the easy integration with the Oracle cloud, and that it's easy to use."
"In Postman, we have an option to directly import a call, make it a Postman collection, and execute it in a batch. This feature is very useful. It saves a lot of time. The manual effort is also reduced when we can just pick it in a Postman collection and then run and execute it to get the results."
"It is simple, easy to use and a good tool."
"The initial setup of this solution is straightforward. Postman can be used as an extension in Google Chrome for those who do not wish to install it directly. Deployment took an hour and a half."
"Postman is a great solution and resource for those who are new to technical platforms in terms of API development and testing."
"Postman is a very important tool for API testing and it has helped our company."
"The user interface is very easy to learn and use, and it is a lightweight application."
"Postman is useful for API testing."
"One of the most valuable aspects of Postman is scalability. We can scale the collection and for the multiple repositories of the collections."
 

Cons

"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."
"Oracle API Platform Cloud Service provides an API documentation tool, which is quite outdated."
"The on-premises connectivity can be improved because it is still not at its best."
"In future updates, we might be interested to see more enhancements after exploring the existing features over the next year."
"In the next release, I would like to see more security policies and for it to include an on-cloud gateway."
"The solution's cost in terms of scaling could be better."
"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."
"Unfortunately, because of this, I have to search for another solution that supports SOAP APIs, because Postman doesn't."
"If they could implement auto-validations and assertions from SoapUI, that would be a very good feature."
"Postman needs more advanced data-driven testing."
"One of the features that is missing in Postman is reporting; it's very basic."
"I would like that if you click on one of the fields you should be able to see the entire row of fields, names, and values."
"Multi-part requests should be handled in the octet-stream."
"The downside of using this solution is that you need to know JavaScript."
"It would be beneficial to expand functionality with additional testing options."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing depends on the specific services used."
"The solution is expensive to scale."
"The pricing is for each logical gateway (a logical gateway can have multiple physical nodes)."
"Oracle API Platform Cloud Service is a cheap solution."
"This solution offers a free version."
"We are currently using the free version, but we have plans to buy a license."
"The solution's price is reasonable."
"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."
"The solution has moderate pricing."
"We are using its free version."
"I am using the free option."
"We do not pay any money for Postman."
