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…

Middleware integration has become smoother and manages API lifecycles and scopes effectively
Regarding WSO2 API Manager, I have no drawbacks or areas for improvement. However, regarding the Micro Integrator, I had some issues while developing complex services because it was mainly designed to be used for simple services, not complex ones. While using complex services, I encountered some issues. I communicated this with WSO2, and they released other products that solved everything related to my concern. These products were released before my concern was raised. When I explored them, they were pretty good, and I did not see the same issues I had experienced. WSO2 is enhancing themselves, and their products are fine. The previous concern was about the previous product, so it is resolved now since there are new products available. I would like WSO2 to improve quality or response time in support, or both.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"The most valuable features are the easy integration with the Oracle cloud, and that it's easy to use."
"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 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 ease by which you can define policies to manage is impressive."
"Oracle API Platform Cloud Service's UI is quite user-friendly and supports a hybrid deployment model."
"The main feature — the publication of the API, the management section — is great in general."
"It's very scalable, which is one of the best features."
"The product is easy to use."
"As far as I am aware this solution is the first API Publisher that allows you to create and publish API and to manage the API lifecycle."
"The user interface is easy to navigate, and the documentation is extensive. It's open-source, so everything is available, and we can create what we need. That's not necessarily a feature, but it's an advantage."
"The solution is open-source, fully containerized with a micro-gateway, scales up and down easily, is not a monolith, and offers a flexible stack with components like a micro-integrator, analytics, streaming integration, and identity access management that fit well to my requirements."
"It is a scalable solution because it can be scaled horizontally and vertically."
"It's a good product."
 

Cons

"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."
"The on-premises connectivity can be improved because it is still not at its best."
"The solution's cost in terms of scaling could be better."
"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."
"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."
"I can say that user management is not really flexible. So, if I want to create 1,000 store users, I can't do it as a publisher. You have to register as a store user using the store URL."
"The tool's commercial aspect could be improved. Pricing varies with partners, so selecting the appropriate pricing can be challenging."
"I wouldn't actually recommend this to anyone. Personally, I wouldn't recommend this solution at all."
"They are developing another platform called Choreo that allows you to create API itself using the WSO2 programming language Ballerina. It would be great if they added a direct connection between Choreo and API Manager, that would be great. I think they are working on that, but I'm not sure."
"If you are working with the open-source version, sometimes depending on the version, you need to deal with some issues and bugs."
"In WSO2 API Manager, we had little flexibility and were restricted to a specific software or tool."
"The price and the complexities attached to the solution are two areas of concern where improvements are required."
"WSO2 API Manager should improve its marketplace subscription model and documentation in order to reach a higher level in the market."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing depends on the specific services used."
"The solution is expensive to scale."
"Oracle API Platform Cloud Service is a cheap solution."
"The pricing is for each logical gateway (a logical gateway can have multiple physical nodes)."
"The solution costs less than 20,000 euros a year. I'm not sure of the exact number."
"It is an open-source product."
"For our projects, we found the pricing to be a little high."
"My previous company paid about 1.2 million dollars, and my current company pays about 300k. Both companies are at the enterprise level."
"There is a subscription-based pricing structure and also the open-sourced version available."
"We use the open-source version of WSO2 API Manager, there is no cost."
"We use the open-source version — the free version."
"WSO2 API Manager is an open-source solution."
