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…

Offers strong integration capabilities and reliable features but needs pricing and scaling improvements
Many things are evolving with the AI buzz in the market. What I would like to see improved or enhanced in webMethods.io in the future is that since webMethods.io is already under IBM, I think IBM will introduce and integrate AI into it. Additionally, regarding what webMethods.io can improve is the license cost. Other cloud players are also providing the same kind of functionality, such as AWS and Azure. webMethods.io is being installed on-premises, but AWS is providing it directly in the cloud. When comparing the license cost and request per minute cost, webMethods.io needs to address that. There are many competitors in the market for this.

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 most valuable features are the easy integration with the Oracle cloud, and that it's easy to use."
"Oracle API Platform Cloud Service's UI is quite user-friendly and supports a hybrid deployment model."
"The solution is stable."
"All API usage is now governed and tracked."
"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 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 security mode and the deployment process are significant assets, offering simplified deployment and effective troubleshooting options, including Docker support."
"It frankly fills the gap between IT and business by having approval and policy enforcement on each state and cycle of the asset from the moment it gets created until it is retired."
"The most valuable feature of the webMethods Integration Server is its reliability. It has a lot of great documentation from the service providers. Additionally, it is easy to use."
"webMethods Integration Server is an easy-to-use solution and does not require a lot of coding."
"I like the stability of the webMethods Integration Server."
"The MFT component of webMethods, for example, is easy to set up and convenient to use. It handles files very efficiently and it is easy to automate tasks with complex schedules. Monitoring is centralized to MWS which can be used to monitor other products as well (Trading Networks, BPM, MFT, etc.)"
"The most valuable feature of webMethods Integration Server is all the capabilities it provides. We leverage most of the features, that they have offered to us. Our vendor has made some additional features on top of the webMethods Integration Server and we use all the features together."
"The main assets are its flow language, debugging, and Broker. Flow language is far better and more flexible for debugging."
"What I like the most about the solution is that it comes with ready-made tools like handling security tokens and OAuth."
 

Cons

"Even when an API is functioning correctly, there seems to be a glitch within OCI (Oracle Cloud Infrastructure)."
"The solution's cost in terms of scaling could be better."
"In future updates, we might be interested to see more enhancements after exploring the existing features over the next year."
"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 the next release, I would like to see more security policies and for it to include an on-cloud gateway."
"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."
"We need more dashboards and reporting engines that can provide detailed information for management. In short, we need better analytics."
"The solution should include REST API calls."
"Prices should be reduced, ideally by up to 30% for long-term customers like us."
"Some things could be improved, especially how ActiveTransfer handles third-party file transfers. It would be nice to have a native file-watching mechanism for when you're scheduling jobs with a third-party scheduler. Currently, we are using an outside file watcher solution to check the files before the file transfer. It checks the location to see if the file is there. If the file is there, it will prepare it for transfer. If the file isn't available, it will send an email it can create a ticket send it now. We recommended adding this file watcher mechanism."
"Technical support is an area where they can improve."
"webMethods.io Integration's installation is complex. It should also improve integration and connectors."
"The high price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The orchestration is not as good as it should be."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing depends on the specific services used."
"The pricing is for each logical gateway (a logical gateway can have multiple physical nodes)."
"The solution is expensive to scale."
"Oracle API Platform Cloud Service is a cheap solution."
"The solution's development license is free for three to six months. We have to pay for other things."
"The product is very expensive."
"The price of webMethods Integration Server isn't that high from an enterprise context, but open-source ESB solutions will always be the cheapest."
"I am not involved in the licensing side of things."
"I would like to see better pricing for the license."
"It's a good deal for the money that we pay."
"Its cost depends on the use cases."
"This is an expensive product and we may replace it with something more reasonably priced."
