Has required significant improvements due to limited features but offers simple implementation and good support
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. After those, WSO2, Kong, and whether you say Informatica API Manager or Boomi AtomSphere API Management, they stand with only three out of ten features which are essential for API management. All the features that Apigee has, they need to add. All the features that MuleSoft has, they need to add. It is not a simple task. The problem is that they lack features. It is not their performance. There are many features to mention. When you take and compare all the features that Apigee has and all the features that MuleSoft has, they need to implement those features.

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

"The stability of the solution is good."
"AtomSphere is tightly integrated into the Boomi iPaaS platform. And Boomi has been augmenting AtomSphere API Management for the past couple of years so version 2.0 is better than 1.0."
"The product's stability is good."
"We can create APIs straightforwardly and quickly and build jobs for data migration."
"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 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."
"We can develop almost any interface that we need."
"Boomi allows for more secure URLs and easy customization of HTTP and HTTPS protocols, which I find very beneficial."
"The most beneficial feature of WSO2 API Manager is its capability to use Swagger to define and then populate the API."
"WSO2 is very easy to install and has all the main functionalities that we are looking for when we want to put up the management solution like a friendly UI tool, SOAP to REST API publication options, plugin extensions, adding OAuth 2.0 to the operations, installing on-premise, handling multiple versions of the same API, and importing and exporting Swagger."
"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."
"WSO2 API Manager is a stable solution."
"I recommend this product."
"This is a flexible and versatile API management solution that has the power to integrate with more than just API."
"The solution is open source and easy to configure."
"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

"Overall, I would rate AtomSphere lower than solutions like APG or API Connect."
"The product is really complex to manage."
"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."
"Most of the basic functionality is there in Boomi, but APG is a more feature-rich solution."
"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."
"The API management has room for improvement."
"From an improvement perspective, the price could be cheaper."
"Boomi AtomSphere API Management can be improved in terms of threshold management and policy management."
"The professional support and licensing aspects of WSO have been a challenge."
"We found WSO2 API Manager to be a bit complex."
"Integration is an area that needs to be improved."
"The solution’s interface should be more user-friendly."
"The interface needs to be modernized and made more user friendly so the product continues to have a growing community of users."
"I'd like to see some new features and updated functionalities."
"From a product perspective, the first thing is that although the documentation provided by WSO2 is good, it could be much better."
"We have encountered some concerns with concurrency. Our integrations do not handle high-volume transactions, and when benchmarking, some issues arose with concurrent testing."
