Enables real-time insights and secure API management for efficient customer interactions
The main improvement needed is the ability to have different base URLs for HTTP and HTTPS for different clients. Currently, I can have only one base URL for one atom. It would help if I could set up a proxy with different URLs within Boomi as a simple configuration instead of needing external applications. Also, Boomi can integrate AI to manage backend loads and provide insights into runtime engine consumption.

Middleware integration has become smoother and manages API lifecycles and scopes effectively
Regarding WSO2 API Manager, I have no drawbacks or areas for improvement. However, regarding the Micro Integrator, I had some issues while developing complex services because it was mainly designed to be used for simple services, not complex ones. While using complex services, I encountered some issues. I communicated this with WSO2, and they released other products that solved everything related to my concern. These products were released before my concern was raised. When I explored them, they were pretty good, and I did not see the same issues I had experienced. WSO2 is enhancing themselves, and their products are fine. The previous concern was about the previous product, so it is resolved now since there are new products available. I would like WSO2 to improve quality or response time in support, or both.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Boomi allows for more secure URLs and easy customization of HTTP and HTTPS protocols, which I find very beneficial."
"We can develop almost any interface that we need."
"AtomSphere API Management is a simple platform that's easy to use. If you're using it on-prem, there's a little learning curve."
"The product's stability is good."
"We can create APIs straightforwardly and quickly and build jobs for data migration."
"Integrations take less time."
"The stability of the solution is good."
"The user interface, which we use to create the integration, basically has the data structures collected, is pretty easy to navigate, is a drag and drop style of working, and there is very little code required so the creation of the endpoints is very simple."
"It is possible to scale up and scale down with the solution...I can say that I have not seen any issues related to scalability."
"It handles millions of transactions of API calls per month in our reality, in the Lombardy region in Italy."
"I think the best part about WSO2 API Manager is that it's highly customizable because it's open-source."
"We could easily deploy APIs on WSO2 API Manager, and CORS configuration was easy to manage."
"Most of the time, we need to install a plug-in without having any lapse in services or restarting the application, and the WSO2 platform can do all deployments without any downtime."
"The product is easy to use."
"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."
"The solution is open-source, fully containerized with a micro-gateway, scales up and down easily, is not a monolith, and offers a flexible stack with components like a micro-integrator, analytics, streaming integration, and identity access management that fit well to my requirements."
 

Cons

"The API management has room for improvement."
"Scalability is an area where Boomi lacks."
"Boomi AtomSphere API Management has very few features. If you ask me to name the top two, I would say MuleSoft and Apigee, as it depends on the customer-to-customer use cases."
"It's difficult to integrate the on-prem application with the Dell Boomi Cloud. We have to check to ensure the Dell domain engine is running. It just requires some service endpoints from our on-prem application to connect to Dell Boomi Cloud to make it available to integrate. It would be better if AtomSphere API Management were offered as a purely SaaS application, so I wouldn't need an on-prem component to make it available. We could make a test call or provide some connection parameters. That should enable it to pull the data."
"The product is really complex to manage."
"From an improvement perspective, the price could be cheaper."
"Overall, I would rate AtomSphere lower than solutions like APG or API Connect."
"Boomi AtomSphere API Management can be improved in terms of threshold management and policy management."
"I'd like to see some new features and updated functionalities."
"WSO2 API Manager could increase their security compliance. Here in India, the government is coming with a lot of regulations and required security features which the solutions have to upgrade to meet this requirement."
"The solution’s interface should be more user-friendly."
"Dashboards for application monitoring of the APIs would be beneficial, allowing us to check for faulty APIs."
"WSO2 API Manager can be improved a lot relating to usability"
"Providing easy configuration for email and SMS notifications, layout and customization of admin and developer landing pages."
"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."
"I would like to see improvements in the speed of the solution as it can be a bit slow compared to other platforms along with addressing memory issues would be beneficial."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Boomi AtomSphere API Management is a cheap product."
"The product can get very expensive quickly if you connect to multiple databases."
"Boomi AtomSphere API Management gives customers a good price. Price-wise, the product is good."
"The price is reasonable."
"WSO2 API Manager is a low-cost solution. It is one of the most affordable solutions."
"The challenge is the increasing pricing, which has led some customers to consider alternatives, like using Spring Boot solutions instead. The rising costs, especially as cores and usage increase, have been a concern, prompting some to migrate to other products."
"I am using the free version."
"It is costly, around ten thousand per year, per instance"
"We use the open-source version of WSO2 API Manager, there is no cost."
"I think the other competitors that are providing the same solution are quite expensive. WSO2 API Manager is quite cheap."
"The solution costs less than 20,000 euros a year. I'm not sure of the exact number."
"My previous company paid about 1.2 million dollars, and my current company pays about 300k. Both companies are at the enterprise level."
