OCI API Management vs. Radware Alteon

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.

These devices caused more problems for our company than benefits, I would never recommend these to colleagues.

• 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

• 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.

• The software web application is beyond terrible, in most of the cases the web was broken or did not have similar functionality the command line interface had.
• The command line interface wasn't a natural looking interface, it was very fumbled and while it ran on Linux, the interface was all menus and sub-menus.
• When enabling different pools for different web services, when a new pool was activated, the old pool connections were all reset instead of allowing HTTP sessions to naturally expire.

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.

We moved away from Alteon to F5 BigIP LTM and just by swapping out the hardware, we saw 40% speed increase in our applications. Everything else is much improved as well, from the web interface to the command line to the API.

• 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.

• While running on these devices, every release caused many interruptions in service and caused thousands of dollars of lost revenue.
