"The improvement needed is related to the model's position. As of now, it seems to be more of a conceptual idea rather than a widely implemented solution. For how long"
"Some of the things that we use cannot be done in this solution. For these things, we have to either use a Java service or a util service. There is no predefined or existing service that we can use. So, we have to work on the util service and write on top of it. Its price can also be better. It is pretty costly because they charge us for each transmission."

"WSO2 API Manager should improve its marketplace subscription model and documentation in order to reach a higher level in the market."

"WSO2 API Manager could increase their security compliance."
"The stability is pretty good, but it could be improved."
