"The portal for developers that this solution provides has great functionality."
"The feature I find most valuable is that this solution allows us to manage our security."
"It is a good product for API management."
"The scalability is very good. That was a key factor in the selection, like how it could be pushed to high volume and scalability, which seemed to be very good."
"Functionality-wise, I like WSO2 API Manager - Publisher API and WSO2 Enterprise Service Bus."
"It is possible to scale up and scale down with the solution...I can say that I have not seen any issues related to scalability."
"Based on the information I have, the solution's most valuable feature is its capability of implementing custom solutions."
"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."
"WSO2 API Manager is easy to use."
"It's a good product."
"This solution is a little bit faster, easier to use, and has better integration than the other solutions I have experienced."
"The scalability is fine for our purposes."
"We would like a better tool for generating documentation for the APIs to be developed."
"We ran it for a while, but then we decided to move away from Tyk, because Tyk's cloud version, the SaaS version, has a significant limitation of limited flexibility, so you can't program very much."
"It is a young product and does not have the kind of brand recognition that would make it a more popular solution with our clients."
"In terms of our usage, the main area of concern is that they tend to build enhancements slightly ahead of the considerations for what those enhancements and extensions are. So it could be slightly better communication with the customer base that would be my main issue with them."
"I would like to see some additional features like having some extensions for .NET core because we use it for our back-end language."
"Sometimes when new features are released, they are not immediately stable."
"The professional support and licensing aspects of WSO have been a challenge."
"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."
"They are developing another platform called Choreo that allows you to create API itself using the WSO2 programming language Ballerina. It would be great if they added a direct connection between Choreo and API Manager, that would be great. I think they are working on that, but I'm not sure."
"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."
"WSO2 API Manager should improve its marketplace subscription model and documentation in order to reach a higher level in the market."
"They don't have different URLs for administrators."
