Likelihood to Recommend It's a great application to backup your data automatically to the cloud and then access later. The automatic restore of certain folders is handy and one less thing to worry about when you're setting up a new PC again. I haven't really encountered any issues with Syncplicity to have any thoughts where it could be improved or where it wouldn't work.
Read full review Oracle API Manager is well suited in a business or company that make use of Apis to facilitate access of backend services and data sources by the staff or customers or both. It is also imported in situations where all actions in a system need to be attributed to specific users.
Read full review Pros By default, it is setup to backup my Desktop Shortcuts, My Documents, and my Internet Explorer Favorites folders. When I sign into a new PC, it automatically syncs these items, making it easy for my data to travel with me. I'm able to easily share my items/folders with coworkers, granting them read or read/write access as required. I like that items that are shared with me allow me to choose to sync them to my PC or not. This allows me to sync smaller items like documents and spreadsheets, but keep things like webex recordings stored in the cloud and not using up gigabtyes of space on my PC. :) I like that, during times when I want to free up resources, I can pause the syncing of files. Read full review API Manager allows for REST and SOAP API's to be easily created and tracked API Manager allows for only certain people/applications to use the API (does this thru a subscriber service it provides) It also publishes the API's it is tracking so developers can easily know what interfaces already exist. The monitoring ability is a nice feature. The admin person can easily see how and where the APIs are currently being used Read full review Cons I would appreciate it if it backed up more than just Desktop, Favorites and Documents by default. I'm not sure if this was something chosen by my employer, but it would be nice if the whole profile folder was backed up by default, so my pictures, music, and videos folders were included. Read full review Absence of Role-Based Access. A finer grain control on what type of users can call certain API Endpoints is needed. Performance with third-party databases isn't as fast as using Oracle Database. Long learning curve. Although Oracle API Manager provides performance and a vast deal of features, a certain level of expertise is required to effectively make use of them. Read full review Alternatives Considered I use
CrashPlan for my personal PC at home. I think both products have their pluses and minuses. Both products allow you to backup your selected data to the cloud.
CrashPlan doesn't easily allow for file sharing (
CrashPlan isn't really a collaboration tool as much as it is a backup tool). Both products have easy restore options. However Syncplicity automatically restoring certain data when syncing with a new PC is very handy and a feature that
CrashPlan doesn't offer
Read full review Oracle API Manager is much easier to learn and understand then IBM Data Power Gateway and
IBM API Connect . We selected Oracle API Manager in our company because to have a good intuitive interface with drag and drop features and because beginners and easily get up to speed to use this tool.
Read full review Return on Investment The ease of use saves me a lot of time. Being able to easily share files with my coworkers also saves me time. This allowed my company to reduce the size of our file server and in doing so, reduced our storage budget. Read full review Oracle API Manager supports both REST & SOAP API's. Secure and attributable connection to back-end services and data sources. In addition to creating API's for querying data, you can also create API endpoints that can manipulate the data in the back-end databases. Although Oracle API Manager provides performance and a vast deal of features, to start with it is really important you train your people working on development, deployment and administrators to effectively use Oracle API Manager.
