Akshat Sunar - PeerSpot reviewer
Software Engineering Manager at Ingram Micro
Real-time data has transformed our workflows and delivers faster, more reliable insights
I have multiple favorite features of Tinybird that stand out to me. The first is real-time data processing, which enables timely access to operational and analytical information. Second, we love the SQL-based transformation, which makes data manipulation familiar and accessible to our engineering teams. Third, API development simplifies the exposure of analytical queries as an API for application consumption. Fourth, the data pipelines help us organize ingestion and transformation workflows. Tinybird supports data-intensive applications and growing analytical workloads by reducing the engineering effort involved in building custom analytics features. I really appreciate the combination of SQL-based development and API delivery, which creates a straightforward workflow for the engineering teams.I feel that Tinybird's data governance and data security are on point and compliant with HIPAA and ISO certification guidelines, so there are no challenges on that part. The accuracy and reliability of Tinybird's AI outputs are really great. I have not seen any problems or challenges in the AI outputs; they are pretty good and on point, without any hallucinations so far.

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.

Pros

"Tinybird is around two times faster."
"I really appreciate the combination of SQL-based development and API delivery, which creates a straightforward workflow for the engineering teams."
"The capability to define processes and seamless integration with APIs enhances our operations."
"It is possible to scale up and scale down with the solution...I can say that I have not seen any issues related to scalability."
"WSO2 API Manager has a user-friendly model."
"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 OAuth2 token capabilities that our customers use to interact, onboard new customers, and provide approvals whenever a customer is onboarded."
"The most beneficial feature of WSO2 API Manager is its capability to use Swagger to define and then populate the API."
"We could easily deploy APIs on WSO2 API Manager, and CORS configuration was easy to manage."
"WSO2's scalability is very good because we deployed using a microgateway-driven approach on OCP, which takes care of scaling."
 

Cons

"Tinybird can be improved by simplifying it and having more AI features in the future. It can also be much faster because sometimes it can still be a bit laggy."
"WSO2 API Manager could improve the API approval system."
"I wouldn't actually recommend this to anyone. Personally, I wouldn't recommend this solution at all."
"The user interface needs to improve, it is a bit outdated."
"The one complaint I get from our business team is the same: they find it not that user-friendly and this makes it more difficult for them to use."
"I'd like to see some new features and updated functionalities."
"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."
"They are developing another platform called Choreo that allows you to create API itself using the WSO2 programming language Ballerina. It would be great if they added a direct connection between Choreo and API Manager, that would be great. I think they are working on that, but I'm not sure."
"The user interface could be a bit better."

"I am using the free version."
"We use the open-source version — the free version."
"It's not expensive, but it could be cheaper."
"WSO2 API Manager is quite an expensive tool. I rate the product's pricing a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is low and ten is high."
