We performed a comparison between webMethods API Gateway and WSO2 API Manager based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two API Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Within the new version, webMethods API Gateway gives us an end-to-end lifecycle from the creation of the API up into the development, deployment, and promotion into production/live. The current end-to-end lifecycle of the API gives us enough authority and governance of the API. We know what are currently live services, what is in the testing stage of development, and what version that has been commissioned. So, the full life cycle itself gives us full authority and governance of the API."
"This solution has given us a competitive advantage because we have better automation and insight."
"In the API gateway, there is a new feature that allows us to filter logs within a payload. This has been a useful feature."
"The most valuable aspect of this solution for me has been the configuration-based UI. Once you get the hang of it, it enables you to easily develop an API. In addition, it has many in-built policies that are quite handy."
"What I like the most about the solution is that it comes with ready-made tools like handling security tokens and OAuth."
"The cloud version of the solution is very easy to set up."
"It's a good tool, and it has a stable messaging broker."
"The developer portal is a valuable feature."
"The solution is open-source."
"The flexibility is definitely a highlight. We have flexible mapping capabilities, allowing us to provide common mappings or create custom ones as needed."
"Functionality-wise, I like WSO2 API Manager - Publisher API and WSO2 Enterprise Service Bus."
"The most interesting feature is its Mac-based function."
"This is a flexible and versatile API management solution that has the power to integrate with more than just API."
"The scalability is fine for our purposes."
"It's a good product."
"WSO2 API Manager is a stable solution."
"Understanding the overall architecture is difficult."
"The price has room for improvement."
"The configuring of the JWT token would be improved as it is a confusing process. We require more information on this part of the solution."
"They should develop clear visibility for the onboarding."
"In terms of improvements, maybe on the API monetization side, having users able to create separate consumption plans and throttle all those consumption plans towards the run time could be better."
"With respect to the API gateway, the runtime component, the stability after a new release is something that can be improved."
"It is an expensive solution and not very suitable for smaller businesses."
"With performance, there is room for improvement in regards to if we would like to put another extra layer of security on it, such as SSL. This is affecting their performance quite significantly. They need to improve the process of managing the SSL and other things inside their solutions, so there will not be quite such a significant impact to the performance."
"From what I have experienced from the versions I have tried, they could improve on the multi-tenant environments to allow some kind of SSO single sign-on between tenant."
"WSO2 API Manager could increase their security compliance."
"The technical support must be improved."
"WSO2 API Manager should improve its marketplace subscription model and documentation in order to reach a higher level in the market."
"I can say that user management is not really flexible. So, if I want to create 1,000 store users, I can't do it as a publisher. You have to register as a store user using the store URL."
"WSO2 API Manager can be improved a lot relating to usability"
"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."
"The solution could be more user friendly for engineers."
