You have to register as a store user using the store URL.""Lacks some new features and updated functionalities.""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.""Basically, mTLS is a certificate-based communication protocol that WSO2 API Manager doesn't support.""They don't have different URLs for administrators.""WSO2 API Manager could improve the API approval system.""API Manager is not easy to scale because some of its components lack scalability.
