User Testimonials
	Layer7 API Management	Oracle API Platform Cloud
Likelihood to Recommend	Broadcom Well suited for publishing internal services with very high security, protecting against attacks, and managing on-demand load. Also good for transform messages and SQL to Rest services. Not appropriate for business logic implementation. Incentivized Leonardo Villa Director of Service Delivery Read full review	Oracle There are countless solutions and needs in the marketplace. Some solutions are straight forward, other highly complicated and innovative. From my perspective, our platform and application is highly complex and innovative, with many "one-off" features. Incentivized Krishna T Senior-Lead Operations Engineer Read full review
Pros	Broadcom SOAP to Rest / Rest to SOAP web services transformation. Secure authorization and authetication (JWT, OpenIP Connect, OAuth, SAML and more). WASP Features as injection protection. Easy rule writing without coding. Incentivized Leonardo Villa Director of Service Delivery Read full review	Oracle Oracles Cloud is endlessly variable, and endlessly expandable. These are qualities that we needed in our platform. Oracle's Name in business was also an important aspect of our decision. The most important "like" is the support. Oracle Backs up its cloud with a technical expertise that I believe is second to none. Incentivized Krishna T Senior-Lead Operations Engineer Read full review
Cons	Broadcom It would be nice to have an integration with services like Github for managing projects and versions. Incentivized Leonardo Villa Director of Service Delivery Read full review	Oracle Planned maintenance. Oracle has certain days it schedules maintenance. We have been speaking with Oracle executives about the inability to schedule maintenance on days that are custom to the client. Incentivized Krishna T Senior-Lead Operations Engineer Read full review
Usability	Broadcom The Layer7 API Management is a great solution, but, sometimes the documentation is not clear or has lack of examples. Incentivized Leonardo Villa Director of Service Delivery Read full review	Oracle No answers on this topic
Support Rating	Broadcom The support team is good and the response time is reasonable, but (there is always a but), when support inquiries are made by someone experienced, and the question is not trivial, it is boring and takes a long time to get the case escalated to the next level of support. Incentivized Leonardo Villa Director of Service Delivery Read full review	Oracle No answers on this topic
Alternatives Considered	Broadcom We evaluated 3 tools and decided on Layer7 API Management because it had the shortest implementation times and fastest learning curve, without losing power of customization and scalability. Incentivized Leonardo Villa Director of Service Delivery Read full review	Oracle Incentivized Krishna T Senior-Lead Operations Engineer Read full review
Return on Investment	Broadcom Very fast implementation and is easy to learn & use. Incentivized Leonardo Villa Director of Service Delivery Read full review	Oracle For ROI, my advice would be to stay the course. It will take longer than you think and cost more than you expect.
