We performed a comparison between Microsoft Azure API Management and Oracle API Platform Cloud Service based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two API Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I like that security features can be integrated with API Management. I also like that you can perform rate-limiting and throttling functions."
"The price is pretty reasonable for us."
"The ability to easily connect back to Service Fabric is the most important for us."
"The tool helps to manage APIs."
"I like the support they provide for the APIs more than the solution itself. First of all, documentation-wise, both Microsoft Azure and even Google Cloud are up there. But in comparison, the real-time consulting and support for APIs make Microsoft stand out a little. I also like the performance. Standard public cloud provider-built APIs are more resilient and flexible in terms of what feature you want to use and what feature you don't want to use, and they're more customizable. They are more resilient in terms of performance in that particular environment because that is the design aspect of the offering. When public clouds build APIs and deploy them after testing them on their framework for a certain amount of time, I feel there is a massive difference in the product's performance. On the interface, everything is strong."
"The most valuable features of Microsoft Azure API Management are the easy configuration and deployment with automation."
"It's very well integrated with the Azure environment."
"Microsoft Azure API Management is better because it has a DevOps integration by default."
"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."
"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."
"All API usage is now governed and tracked."
"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."
"Maybe the customization could be a bit better."
"From my understanding, there are some constraints around governance and service-to-service intercommunication managing priorities and our own governance."
"If I compare this solution to others I have used in other phases of my life, having APIM being an Azure resource, it is easy to configure and deploy. However, this conversely reduced the flexibility. The difficulty is how do we configure it in a manner that a larger enterprise would probably want it to be. This creates a bit more complexity, working around the constraints of the resource itself. If comparing it to other solutions, it is more of a legacy design with an older approach. The various level components are still around resembling an on-premise type of design similar to other solutions, such as Apigee or Mulesoft. They are still predominantly carrying some legacy design. Which might be suited for organizations where they have a more complex network layout. APIM is easy to deploy, but on the other side of that, it is constrained to how Azure has designed it to be."
"The cloud deployment performance could be better."
"Azure is our most expensive resource; it's costly."
"The developer console for external users could be improved, especially in the testing site."
"The API gateway can be very complex."
"I would like to see more integration with other platforms, as well as increased security."
"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."
"I would like to see enhanced support for SOAP Service and the corresponding WS-Security policies."
"The solution's cost in terms of scaling could be better."
"In the next release, I would like to see more security policies and for it to include an on-cloud gateway."
