"WSO2 API Manager has a user-friendly model."

"WSO2 API Manager could increase their security compliance."
"The user interface needs to improve, it is a bit outdated."
"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."
