We performed a comparison between MuleSoft Anypoint API Manager 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."This is a good API management product."
"One of the more valuable features is the stability of the platform."
"Both the cloud and on-premises options are available. Customers can leverage the MuleSoft Cloud platform to deploy the applications or set up their own online infrastructure to deploy applications."
"The ease of policy maintenance and API functionality are key features for me. They streamline business processes by allowing configurable control over policies, instead of writing codes and making maintenance more straightforward."
"If you adopt the whole platform, you can build composable applications. This will cut your time creating new applications and updating them – once you have everything running – by up to 50%."
"It provides all of the robust platform-enabled features."
"Anypoint API Manager's most valuable feature is its connectors."
"The documentation is great; it is always up to date and well-presented."
"WSO2 is very stable."
"The product is easy to use."
"The main feature — the publication of the API, the management section — is great in general."
"The most interesting feature is its Mac-based function."
"A complete integration suite and a good platform."
"The flexibility is definitely a highlight. We have flexible mapping capabilities, allowing us to provide common mappings or create custom ones as needed."
"There are a lot of tools to help the manager. WSO2 is very easy to install. It has all the principal functionalities that you think about when you want to put up the management solution. It's a very friendly tool."
"API management lifecycle is the most valuable."
"They should provide training and development programs to enable the skills and capabilities of users."
"We find that the enterprise level is lacking scalability."
"One improvement is maybe to add a plugin in the API manager. Let's say an organisation is using SOAP services or legacy APIs. Maybe I don't want to migrate it to rest API, but my plugin should be able to convert Jason to XML. Basically, protocol transformation features in API Manager."
"The pricing is a bit expensive."
"To improve Anypoint API Manager for the next release, it should focus on better consumption scalability, especially for smaller APIs."
"The setup process could be simpler."
"With respect to the live help, I have language issues because I can't understand some of the things that I hear."
"The cost model could be improved."
"We had some problems with the reverse proxy not being able to invoke fully qualified domain names, so we have to build some custom scripts to solve this issue."
"The product hasn’t been updated for some time."
"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 price and the complexities attached to the solution are two areas of concern where improvements are required."
"WSO2 API Manager can be improved a lot relating to usability"
"Based on our recent large scaling project, the latency needs to be improved."
"WSO2 API Manager could improve the API approval system."
"The interface needs to be modernized and made more user friendly so the product continues to have a growing community of users."
