Secure access control has protected internal documents and improves private collaboration
The best features Private AI offers for my needs include security. What stands out to me about the aspects of security in Private AI are access control and privilege for the users using the solution. Private AI has positively impacted my organization very much because privacy is more important for us. It has reduced the risks and improved the collaboration.

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.

"The most interesting feature is its Mac-based function."
"WSO2 API Manager is a stable solution."
