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

"This is part of our new digital offering for customers and has helped with new prospects to offer a modern secure API solution, therefore it is having a real impact on the business adoption of API integration for customers."
"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 ease by which you can define policies to manage is impressive."
"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 security mode and the deployment process are significant assets, offering simplified deployment and effective troubleshooting options, including Docker support."
"All API usage is now governed and tracked."
"The solution is stable."
"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 cloud version of the solution is very easy to set up."
"What I found most valuable in webMethods Integration Server is that it's a strong ESB. It also has strong API modules and portals."
"The product is powerful, straightforward, and easy to use."
"webMethods Integration Server is an easy-to-use solution and does not require a lot of coding."
"It gives value for your money, and it is easy to implement and maintain."
"My impression of webMethods.io's drag-and-drop interface to design workflows is actually amazing."
"The developer portal is a valuable feature."
"The synchronous and asynchronous messaging system the solution provides is very good."
 

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."
"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."
"The challenge is the product is getting new features at rapid pace."
"I would like to see enhanced support for SOAP Service and the corresponding WS-Security policies."
"The on-premises connectivity can be improved because it is still not at its best."
"In the next release, I would like to see more security policies and for it to include an on-cloud gateway."
"The product must add more compatible connectors."
"Perhaps in the area of Microservices, where I think Trading Networks could benefit from some improvements."
"DevOps could be better."
"This product has too many gaps. You find them after update installations. This should be covered by automatic testing."
"I'd warn potential users that, if you get into the ESB sort solution, once you get into it, coming out of it is very difficult."
"The product's stability is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The initial setup of the webMethods Integration Server is not easy but it gets easier once you know it. It is tiresome but not difficult."
"This product is for larger companies. Compared to TIBCO I think webMethods is better in terms of ease of use and support."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Oracle API Platform Cloud Service is a cheap solution."
"The solution is expensive to scale."
"Pricing depends on the specific services used."
"The pricing is for each logical gateway (a logical gateway can have multiple physical nodes)."
"With our current licensing, it's very easy for us to scale. With our older licensing model, it was very hard. This is definitely something that I would highlight."
"I don’t have much idea about prices, but webMethods API Portal is not something cheaper."
"I would like to see better pricing for the license."
"Pricing has to be negotiated with the local Software AG representative. SAG can always prepare an appropriate pricing model for every client."
"Based on our team discussions and feedback, it is pretty costly because they charge us for each transmission."
"webMethods.io Integration's pricing is high and has yearly subscription costs."
"The product is very expensive."
"It is a cost-effective solution."
