It has been used in my department for over 5 years.
  • Create proxy services to publish as APIs
  • Add decorative metadata to APIs
  • Manager Portal to search for APIs of interest
  • Access the backend service API's could be faster
  • Configuring the WebLogic Domain was a little confusing
  • Creating Proxy Services to be published
It's a great tool when you are creating Oracle APIs. The instructions given for accessing the Oracle Service Bus Console, creating Proxy Services to be published as API's, how to Activate the session, adding metadata, and publishing APIs to the API Manager Portal are very precise. Instructions on how to edit the metadata of an API are also very good.

  • It has allowed us to get up to speed quicker
  • Has cost us less money to train people
  • Has allowed us to better manage new API's
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.

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.
It is well suited where the security of data is the major concern. For small applications with less data it is not recommended. It is suitable for enterprise-level applications. But the performance is low as compared to other databases. It supports both rest and soap API. Authentication process needs to be improved.

  • 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.

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)
It's well suited if the applications are already using REST and SOAP architectures...this is definitely a newer Oracle product. It indeed works. Sure, there is room for improvement as I have indicated already. The interface is web-based and I found it easy to traverse. Existing API's show up on their own page with a considerable amount of detail. Seems easy to secure so that just certain applications can use the API...

  • Overall, the client is pleased with the API Manager. They are rather new to it so the ROI has not really been realized yet
  • They like the ability to monitor the API's utilization (this monitoring could maybe be used for the prior question on usage billing...they do not currently do this for their supported applications)
  • They like the ability that the APIs can be secured. Just because it exists, doesn't mean it can be used just anywhere...
