"There are a lot of tools to help the manager. WSO2 is very easy to install. It has all the principal functionalities that you think about when you want to put up the management solution. It's a very friendly tool.""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.""WSO2 API Manager is a stable solution.""Helped us to quickly publish our Microservice APIs and enforcing different policies against them, it comes up with features like Security, Throttling policy and it provides complete access to customize API's which actually saves development effort and time.""The scalability is fine for our purposes.""I think the best part about WSO2 API Manager is that it's highly customizable because it's open-source.

Cons
"The product shows a lack of maturity. The setup is difficult, the tech support and community are lacking, and it is not very stable.""The installation process is a bit complex and it could be a lot simpler.""The portal still has room for improvement.""Sometimes we find bugs where certain calls are not returning all the data we need.""The areas for enhancement should be improving certain filters within the solution. Although they are generally functional, there are occasional problems that could be more precisely adjusted. Additionally, the solution performs well within its workload limitations, but it may not be suitable for scaling up or managing a larger volume of transactions through the gateway. To address this, it may be necessary to adopt a unique architecture rather than relying on traditional pre-packaged options.""It would be great if they have an asset report. It's hard to get support for that.""The API Mocking tools need to be improved.""Team management capabilities could be improved."

More Axway AMPLIFY API Management Cons →

"The technical support must be improved.""Based on our recent large scaling project, the latency needs to be improved.""The solution could be more user friendly for engineers.""WSO2 API Manager could improve the API approval system.""We had some problems with the reverse proxy not being able to invoke fully qualified domain names, so we have to build some custom scripts to solve this issue.""Integration is an area that needs to be improved.""API Manager is not easy to scale because some of its components lack scalability. It's a difficult point. Especially because companies are so cloud-based these days, microservice scalability is a major thing.""I would improve the product documentation. There are some gaps, and it can be difficult to find the proper documentation for the product if you need to solve something."

Some licenses only allow access to certain features while others allow access to more features. Upon procuring this solution's license, you will have full access to the solution, allowing you to experiment with all of its features."
