Centralized access control has saved time and simplifies day-to-day identity management
I faced challenges earlier when I selected a role; it wasn't showing in any account it was associated with. It wasn't listing the account it was associated with, but later that feature came through and I am able to see that. When I select the role, this role is part of these many accounts or this particular account. I don't have anything else to add about the needed improvements at this point. I choose an eight out of ten because I think this technology world is evolving very rapidly and AI is stepping into the technology. AI growth is so fast, and I would think there should be some AI capabilities within IAM Health Cloud so that it would better serve the customers.

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

"IAM Health Cloud has positively impacted my organization by giving us all the required dashboards that we can manage everything from one place."
"The advice I have for any of the organizations or companies looking for an API manager is that they, first of all, verify the building block before selecting a product."
"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."
"It is a scalable solution because it can be scaled horizontally and vertically."
"The scalability is fine for our purposes."
"The solution is open source and easy to configure."
"The main feature — the publication of the API, the management section — is great in general."
"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."
"WSO2 API Manager is a stable solution."
 

Cons

"I choose an eight out of ten because I think this technology world is evolving very rapidly and AI is stepping into the technology."
"I think they could greatly improve the general UX with their solutions."
"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."
"The solution’s interface should be more user-friendly."
"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."
"The user interface could be a bit better."
"The interface needs to be modernized and made more user friendly so the product continues to have a growing community of users."
"The tool's commercial aspect could be improved. Pricing varies with partners, so selecting the appropriate pricing can be challenging."
"WSO2 API Manager can be improved a lot relating to usability. It is a bit heavy, and the workflow is more complicated in terms of API creation and publishing."
