Provides robust security for financial transactions and protects the ERP database from direct exposure

Pros

"It is very secure, easy to manage, and easy to configure. It is a web-based API. Moreover, we get direct support from Oracle guys."

Cons

"Oracle should actively seek feedback and tailor the approach to client needs. It shouldn't always be about pushing additional products."

What is our primary use case?

We primarily use Oracle API for the financial database to deal with all the financial things.

In our case, it's primarily used for integrating with financial databases and managing all the financial transactions. We've integrated it with REST APIs from banks to enable payments. So, if a payment needs to go through, it gets routed to the relevant vendor via their bank through our Oracle API.

So, the system connects to our Oracle API, which then integrates with third-party bank APIs to handle payments without exposing our ERP database directly.
We use Oracle API as a central hub to connect and manage all these third-party APIs, acting as a barrier between them and our core ERP database. This way, we can handle all the transactions securely and efficiently. That's the main purpose of our Oracle API setup.

How has it helped my organization?

It simplifies transaction management, secures commercial transactions, and facilitates smooth third-party integration, particularly for taxes and banking. These are the biggest values I've experienced.

The initial setup isn't overly difficult.

A great source for publishing, but the user interface could be improved

Pros

"The security, the authentication, and the publishing qualities are great. "

Cons

"From an administration and developer point of view, the user interface and user experience are not great. "

What is our primary use case?

We are using this solution in the enterprise for publishing APIs to external client systems and internal systems to receive and process requests. We are using this solution for monitoring and securing all inbound and outbound web-service traffic.

We have roughly 100+ published APIs and around 500,000 daily API invocations.

Given the current market situation in the trade community, we don't have plans to increase our usage for at least one to two years.

How has it helped my organization?

It has helped us to better organize, control and monitor the APIs across the solution landscape in the enterprise.
