"WSO2 API Manager is a stable solution."
"WSO2 API Manager is easy to use."
"Its open-source features are very good, especially for your production work."
"The solution is stable."
"The flexibility is definitely a highlight. We have flexible mapping capabilities, allowing us to provide common mappings or create custom ones as needed."
"Sometimes when new features are released, they are not immediately stable."
"In terms of our usage, the main area of concern is that they tend to build enhancements slightly ahead of the considerations for what those enhancements and extensions are. So it could be slightly better communication with the customer base that would be my main issue with them."
"We ran it for a while, but then we decided to move away from Tyk, because Tyk's cloud version, the SaaS version, has a significant limitation of limited flexibility, so you can't program very much."
"I would like to see some additional features like having some extensions for .NET core because we use it for our back-end language."
"We would like a better tool for generating documentation for the APIs to be developed."
"It is a young product and does not have the kind of brand recognition that would make it a more popular solution with our clients."
"The price and the complexities attached to the solution are two areas of concern where improvements are required."
"I would improve the product documentation. There are some gaps, and it can be difficult to find the proper documentation for the product if you need to solve something."
"WSO2 API Manager could increase their security compliance."
"The user interface needs to improve, it is a bit outdated."
"Basically, mTLS is a certificate-based communication protocol that WSO2 API Manager doesn't support."
"From a product perspective, the first thing is that although the documentation provided by WSO2 is good, it could be much better. We're in the middle of a complex migration, moving away from VMs to Kubernetes with the latest version of WSO2 and good documentation is essential to us right now."
"WSO2 API Manager should improve its marketplace subscription model and documentation in order to reach a higher level in the market."
"API Manager is not easy to scale because some of its components lack scalability. It's a difficult point. Especially because companies are so cloud-based these days, microservice scalability is a major thing."
