Easy to deploy APIs and easy to manage CORS configuration

Pros

"We could easily deploy APIs on WSO2 API Manager, and CORS configuration was easy to manage."

Cons

"In WSO2 API Manager, we had little flexibility and were restricted to a specific software or tool."

Effortless integration with REST APIs enhances business process management

Pros

"The capability to define processes and seamless integration with APIs enhances our operations."

Product version discussed: 2.5
Enhanced API efficiency with fewer duplications and a straightforward setup

Pros

"The most beneficial feature of WSO2 API Manager is its capability to use Swagger to define and then populate the API."

Cons

"Dashboards for application monitoring of the APIs would be beneficial, allowing us to check for faulty APIs."

Product version discussed: 2.6
Easy to adopt and lets us extend functionality at any time

Pros

"One of the great things about WSO2 API Manager is that it is so easy to adopt. And because it's an open source solution, we're able to extend the implementation any time to suit our company needs better."

Cons

"From a product perspective, the first thing is that although the documentation provided by WSO2 is good, it could be much better. We're in the middle of a complex migration, moving away from VMs to Kubernetes with the latest version of WSO2 and good documentation is essential to us right now. "

A complete platform for building, integrating, and exposing your digital services as managed APIs in the cloud, on-premise, and hybrid architectures to drive your digital transformation strategy.

Pros

"WSO2 API Manager provides strong internal API security, including token-based authentication and HTTPS support for various formats like REST. However, the newer API security features that are emerging are not available yet. They might be in development, but for now, internal API security is well-covered."

Cons

"WSO2 API Manager could improve by adding external API security features, which is one area where there is room for enhancement. Internally, API security is strong, and all other necessary features are already available. It has a solid marketplace, supports both Docker and standalone setups, and offers great enterprise integration. The developer portal has greatly improved the user experience, making it simple and user-friendly wherever we’ve implemented it. Overall, it’s not as complicated as other API gateways."

Cons

Offers good documentation and is a very robust tool

Pros

"It is a scalable solution because it can be scaled horizontally and vertically."

Cons

"The pricing models offered by WSO2 API Manager could be more flexible and should offer different options so that more people can access them."

Conducts regular research and comes up with improvements

Pros

"We use the vanilla version of the WSO2 API Manager and integrate additional features ourselves. The basic features of the API Manager, such as blacklisting and whitelisting, are very helpful. We also created dashboards. "

Cons

"The tool's commercial aspect could be improved. Pricing varies with partners, so selecting the appropriate pricing can be challenging. "
