Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The reason why we selected the solution originally was because of its ability to have a gateway both on-premise and in the cloud. This is the most valuable aspect of the solution for us.""We can completely manage the APIs at the org level and BU (business unit) level.""It is easy to work with .""Conversion to RESTful and SOAP protocols and management console (can manage individually throttled settings to manage our service levels for customers).""The solution is a good general API manager. They have a few propriety features but are offering items that are standard in the industry as well.""The platform's most valuable features are its capabilities to support security measures such as tokenization, token refresh, throttling, and enforcement of payloads.""When we did the product evaluation, we saw that TIBCO Mashery offers end-to-end API life cycle management. It provides all API features that are required for managing the complete life cycle. It includes the developer portal and tools for API monitorization. The out-of-box security features that TIBCO Mashery provides are enterprise-grade, which gives it an edge over other API products.""The most valuable feature is the ability to have different packages based on the API keys. The same core system can have different packages based on different environments."

"WSO2 API Manager is easy to use.""WSO2 API Manager's most valuable features are the simple interface that is easy to use and the APIs lifecycle.""WSO2 API Manager is a stable solution.""The solution is open-source.""This is a flexible and versatile API management solution that has the power to integrate with more than just API.""The flexibility is definitely a highlight. We have flexible mapping capabilities, allowing us to provide common mappings or create custom ones as needed.""A complete integration suite and a good platform.""Its open-source features are very good, especially for your production work."

Cons
"They can fix some stability issues and probably make it more user-friendly so that not only an IT savvy person but an end-user can also easily navigate through this solution.""The security needs improvement, specifically, propagation of security to an API. Calling other APIs is something that is missing in the product and that makes us think about going to a competitor.""The management console of API and customers' applications are not the most intuitive.""It lacks many features at the API gateway compared to other solutions.""Policy management has been a bit of a concern.""Monetization is not that great in API management. You need customization. Improvements are needed with sandbox local as well as with monetization. Those features are missing.""The way agile life cycle is working needs improvement. I also want to see more support for open API standards. I want to see some improvement on the protocol transformation. That is quite missing now. These are the three main issues.""TIBCO Cloud API Management should improve its installation and make it easy."

"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.""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.""Based on our recent large scaling project, the latency needs to be improved.""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.""The user interface needs to improve, it is a bit outdated.""The interface needs to be modernized and made more user friendly so the product continues to have a growing community of users.""The solution could be more user friendly for engineers.""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."
