Oracle API Manager Review
Oracle API Manager is used by my department. It helps with our team's backend problems. When endpoints change in external APIs, this tool helps in modifying our system and testing. We use the developer tool to create proxy services that are later published as APIs. Service Bus also works nicely with this tool.
- This tool helps create APIs that are efficient.
- This tool makes testing endpoints simple.
- This tool is excellent for beginners in backend technology.
- Oracle API Manager has worked great for our department so far. One suggesting would be to add a tool to include testing of multiple APIs linearly.

Oracle API Manager Review
Oracle API Manager helps us to manage our Oracle Cloud Platform. It manages the resources of Oracle DB. But the performance is relatively slower compared to other DB. In our organisation it is being used by mainly IT department whose responsibility it is to manage data and application. For our front-end application we required a strong database and chose to implement this.
- Provides the customization to manage the Oracle DB.
- Better security mechanism provided which secures our data.
- Manages concurrent user login at the same time and distributes the resources as per requirements.
- It is slow as compared to other databases because of its high functionality.
- Sometimes it hangs due to network overuse.
- More features need to be added in terms of reporting.

Vetted Review
Verified User
Our core software engineering team is making use of Oracle API Manager. We have many applications that need to call our main servers for accessing various types of data. We ended up with a total of 170 different API routes, and we needed a way to monitor and manage them efficiently. For this reason, we chose to use Oracle API Manager.
- Mature and Reliable. Last year, Oracle API Manager was quite buggy, and couldn't be used at production-level. Fortunately, almost all of the problems that it had previously are now patched.
- Offloads Most of the Workload of Developing APIs. While defining APIs, Oracle API Manager does a great job in providing suggestions and error checks in our logic.
- Supports SOAP and REST. Not only can you create APIs that can query for data, but you can also create API endpoints that can manipulate the data in your back-end databases.
- 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.

Best APIs creation
Oracle API Manager is used by the Information and Technology department
to facilitates the creation of APIs that expose functionality of backend systems or other services. These APIs are published for use by application developers and are managed and monitored at runtime. Applications increasingly use Application Programming Interfaces (APIs). These APIs can be developed by internal or external entities to access enterprise systems of record. The number of APIs available increases daily. Their usage is multiplied by a growing population of mobile devices and computing platforms (Web, tablets, smartphones, TVs, cars, and other household devices--the Internet of Things). As the number of APIs an organization produces and uses increases, the management and visibility of these APIs becomes increasingly important.
- Easily create and secure APIs that provide access to backend services.
- Support both REST and SOAP APIs and understand them
- It facilitates the use of APIs
- It requires someone with advanced knowledge in the use and optimization of Oracle products.

New to Oracle API Manager
My client is using both the Rest services and SOA architecture to help standardize how their applications communicate. The API Manager allows for interfaces to be quickly developed and secured for just these applications. This newer API Manager from Oracle allows the client to better track the existing APIs that have been developed as 'rework', or reinventing the wheel has been an issue at this site. Their goal here is to make better use of interfaces that have already been created...saving development and tons of testing time.
- 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
- I would say it would be nice if it could handle non-Oracle type API's...such as in-house developed interfaces, etc.
- It would be nice if it at least could list non-Oracle type APIs so that this system became a repository for ALL of the application interfaces
- Maybe it has this and I missed it, the monitoring appears to be one API at a time, would be nice to see a page that has all of the monitored APIs with some basic monitored info perhaps. It does have alerts, audit trails, and integrates with Enterprise Manager (I did not see this integration though)
