Integration solution proves maturity and drives productivity
There are many features we're using. We're starting to do AI now regarding integration with other platforms, focusing on creating integrations. A significant area for improvement is version control. Currently, you develop and cannot properly roll back to a previous version unless you create different versions. With proper version control, you could know which version to revert to and test other versions.

Decreases the development timeframe and costs
The main issue with the product is pricing. It uses core-based pricing for WSO2 Enterprise Integrator and API Manager. It would be best if you had APIM by default. It provides many connectors for easy integration with third-party systems. Often, customers decide to develop using open-source tools like Spring Boot if there aren't many connectors required to avoid increasing costs. They'll develop this way and then deploy using APIM, the bare minimum needed. It is mainly required for very complicated setups with many connectors. In the implementations I've seen, people often used open-source tools because there weren't many third-party systems involved—just their organization's own systems. From WSO2 Enterprise Integrator, I expect them to bring up more and more connectors in the future. That's the main expectation. Having more connectors in various areas will help us when discussing new requirements. I don't have any specific use case right now, so I can't name a particular connector. But, as new technologies emerge, the relevant connectors should be there for those. WSO2 Enterprise Integrator mainly helps with the integration part, which can be simplified only if you have relevant connectors for whatever you're doing.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The Salesforce and NetSuite Application specific “connectors” provide a layer of abstraction on top of the SOAP-based APIs to streamline integration development."
"This is a fairly easy-to-use tool for integration which can be self-taught for those with a bit of a technical background."
"The tool's most valuable features I've found are related to debugging and testing. It makes it easy to track execution, documents, and process history. This functionality is particularly useful for identifying issues with data and providing insights to the business."
"It is a low-code and high-configuration platform, which is very valuable. Develop once and run anywhere is another useful feature. It also has connectors for more than 200 applications. It provides value for money. Our customers who have implemented this solution have a very high ROI."
"The product's integration features are quite rich and low code. It is easy to use."
"Extremely flexible for any kind of integration between systems."
"The connection configuration part and the drag-and-drop integration module are the most valuable features for me."
"The iPaaS functionality is very mature. The browser based IDE is also very mature and stable."
"The solution's customer service is good."
"The customer service executives are very responsive."
"The solution basically conforms to our standards."
"WSO2's analytics capability is good, considering the ELC support they provide."
"It's a very complete product. It allows us to network security and add more layers of security to the system."
"The drag-and-drop features for connectors are very valuable."
"The productivity is the most valuable feature. It is very easy to write remediations."
"It was mostly easy to set up the product."
 

Cons

"There are still some areas that need improvement. For example, when updates are going on, the product becomes very slow."
"We encountered stability issues occasionally, one to two times a year."
"There are stability issues."
"There are more mature (dedicated) API management and master data management (MDM) solutions available in the market."
"Boomi AtomSphere Integration is not yet exposed to the world as a good product owing to certain shortcomings in the area of marketing where improvements are required."
"In my experience, I haven't encountered any major issues with the tool. However, there could be a learning curve for new users, especially depending on which tool you're using. For example, I've used MuleSoft in the past, which is more code-oriented and requires knowledge of Java. Transitioning to Boomi AtomSphere Integration took me a couple of months because of differences in terminology."
"Have to create some of our own pre-built connectors."
"The solution is complex. There's a few items and features that are hard to understand. They should work to simplify the functionality so new users don't struggle."
"They should release upgrades more frequently."
"There are a lot of security settings that when you apply you have to re-apply again every time you modify a setting. It is something that really needs to be enhanced."
"The administration side is complex and could use significant improvements to enhance the solution's functionality."
"The main issue with the product is pricing. It uses core-based pricing for WSO2 Enterprise Integrator and API Manager. It would be best if you had APIM by default. It provides many connectors for easy integration with third-party systems."
"You cannot include the validation of XPath."
"I would like to see them bring back a feature, from earlier versions, that was very useful in debugging and finding issues."
"WSO2 libraries are not mature enough. For example, if you want to integrate with Kafka using its Kafka library, it often has many bugs."
"They should introduce better pricing for small companies."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This solution is very economical (based on the connections)."
"The Platinum package is good for licensing, but I’m not sure about the cost and improvements."
"AtomSphere Integration's pricing is competitive, and I would rate it seven out of ten."
"Approximately 20k annually."
"There could be an easy-to-understand licensing model."
"The cost of the solution is in the neighborhood of $20,000 annually. There are no costs above the standard licensing fee."
"When it comes to pricing, it's not so much about being less expensive as it is about how they don't tie to the hardware on the underlined VMware that you run on, as other vendors do"
"It is an expensive platform."
"The solution costs about 20,000 or 30,000 euros per year, per instance."
"The open-source, unsupported version is available free of charge."
"I rate the product price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."
"The pricing of WSO2 Enterprise Integrator for enterprise subscriptions can be considered expensive, especially from the perspective of someone who prefers open-source software."
"The cost is better than IBM Cloud Pak."
"It is a low-cost solution."
