Provides robust security for financial transactions and protects the ERP database from direct exposure
My main feedback is about the account management. I feel they should connect with clients more frequently, beyond just selling the product. They should actively seek feedback and tailor the approach to client needs. It shouldn't always be about pushing additional products. My main suggestion is focused solely on the account management approach, specifically fostering closer and more proactive client relationships. So, the pricing could also be bit improvement.

Authentication mechanism is easy to implement but improvement is needed in documentation

"The product has been very easy to use."
"The security, the authentication, and the publishing qualities are great."
"We've found it to be very stable."
"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."
"The most valuable features for us are security and centralization."
"It has helped us to better organize, control and monitor the APIs across the solution landscape in the enterprise."
"It allowed us to publish and replace pre-essential transactions in one place, with a uniformity in terms of control and policies."
"The tool's authentication mechanism is easy to implement. We had to define a few parameters."
"The interface is good, and the policies that it uses as opposed to the features that it has in terms of security and the throughput management and those aspects are intuitive."
"Its completeness feature for the large enterprises, in my case for the government, is the most valuable feature of this product."
"Good interface, intuitive solution."
 

Cons

"Before gaining experience with the product, I found that it was not simple to use and things took longer to do than I had anticipated."
"Oracle needs to improve on access to technical documentation."
"Oracle should actively seek feedback and tailor the approach to client needs. It shouldn't always be about pushing additional products."
"The cost of the solution is very high. It's not very cheap."
"We'd like it if they could reduce the cost without sacrificing on features."
"Although it is working great for us at the moment, we don't enjoy its user-interface. The UI is based on an old approach and needs an overhaul to modernize the UI and user interaction."
"From an administration and developer point of view, the user interface and user experience are not great."
"Akana API Management needs to improve its documentation."
"We actually did reach out to the technical support and it was all right, not great. We didn't get the answers we needed."
"The version that we have is very old."
"Lacks an integrated billing feature."
"The product has new features that we are going to implement in the next few months, such as API management and analytic reporting."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Oracle is not a cheap solution and it is not affordable for all of our clients in Portugal."
"For us, the pricing and licensing policies were for an on-premise installation with a fixed cost structure, that matched our budgeting policies."
