More Pipedream Cons →

"The technical support must be improved.""The stability is pretty good, but it could be improved.""The professional support and licensing aspects of WSO have been a challenge.""I would like it to be a more stable solution. Maybe in the last version that is approved. For me it would be good if they had a community established version.""We found WSO2 API Manager to be a bit complex.""WSO2 API Manager could increase their security compliance.""Basically, mTLS is a certificate-based communication protocol that WSO2 API Manager doesn't support.""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."
