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.
VishalSingh14 - PeerSpot reviewer
Easy to deploy APIs and easy to manage CORS configuration
I have used WSO2 Store and WSO2 API Manager at the architecture level. I worked on two versions, namely WSO2 API Manager 2.6.0 and 5.7.0. I have also worked with WSO2 Identity Server versions 5.7 and 5.11. There are certain things that Apigee handles better than WSO2 API Manager. The user interface of WSO2 API Manager is much easier than that of Apigee. The scope of flexibility was much greater in Apigee. In WSO2 API Manager, we had little flexibility and were restricted to a specific software or tool. On the other hand, we had the scope of customization in Apigee.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"Boomi AtomSphere API Management is a good product for integrating with Boomi as a backend service."
"We can develop almost any interface that we need."
"We can create APIs straightforwardly and quickly and build jobs for data migration."
"Integrations take less time."
"Boomi allows for more secure URLs and easy customization of HTTP and HTTPS protocols, which I find very beneficial."
"The stability of the solution is good."
"The product's stability is good."
"The solution is open source and easy to configure."
"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 solution is stable."
"As far as I am aware this solution is the first API Publisher that allows you to create and publish API and to manage the API lifecycle."
"The most interesting feature is its Mac-based function."
"The user interface is easy to navigate, and the documentation is extensive. It's open-source, so everything is available, and we can create what we need. That's not necessarily a feature, but it's an advantage."
"The capability to define processes and seamless integration with APIs enhances our operations."
"We could easily deploy APIs on WSO2 API Manager, and CORS configuration was easy to manage."
 

Cons

"To some degree, you need to know what type or amount of API you are creating - whether it's a rest API or web service API. You need to know ETL in order to really get the most out of Boomi."
"The product is really complex to manage."
"The solution must provide more AI services."
"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."
"Boomi AtomSphere API Management can be improved in terms of threshold management and policy management."
"Most of the basic functionality is there in Boomi, but APG is a more feature-rich solution."
"From an improvement perspective, the price could be cheaper."
"The API management has room for improvement."
"Providing easy configuration for email and SMS notifications, layout and customization of admin and developer landing pages."
"The interface needs to be modernized and made more user friendly so the product continues to have a growing community of users."
"I would like it to be a more convenient development platform with the ability to write orchestrations and so on. Our problem with this product is that in my country, we are the only enterprise that has been using this product. We're missing a lot of knowledge from colleagues to consult with, and we also aren't able to recruit people with relevant skills. It is a big problem. The small team that is maintaining this product is the only team that can actually relate to any technical issue. The support that we're getting from the company is not great. There is also a cultural gap there because they're from Sri Lanka, and it is not easy. They're putting in a lot of effort, but they are not meeting our expectations."
"Basically, mTLS is a certificate-based communication protocol that WSO2 API Manager doesn't support."
"I think they could greatly improve the general UX with their solutions."
"We have encountered some concerns with concurrency. Our integrations do not handle high-volume transactions, and when benchmarking, some issues arose with concurrent testing."
"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."
"The user interface needs to improve, it is a bit outdated."

"Boomi AtomSphere API Management is a cheap product."
"The product can get very expensive quickly if you connect to multiple databases."

"As far as I'm aware, the costs are not minimal but satisfactory."
"It's not expensive, but it could be cheaper."
"There is a subscription-based pricing structure and also the open-sourced version available."
