One of the great things about WSO2 API Manager is that it is so easy to adopt. And because it's an open source solution, we're able to extend the implementation any time to suit our company needs better.

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.

Helped us to quickly publish our Microservice APIs and enforcing different policies against them, it comes up with features like Security, Throttling policy and it provides complete access to customize API's which actually saves development effort and time.

Based on the information I have, the solution's most valuable feature is its capability of implementing custom solutions.

Most of the time, we need to install a plug-in without having any lapse in services or restarting the application. The WSO2 platform can do all deployments without any downtime.

As far as I am aware this solution is the first API Publisher that allows you to create and publish API and to manage the API lifecycle.

The main feature — the publication of the API, the management section — is great in general.

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.

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 stability is pretty good, but it could be improved.

The price and the complexities attached to the solution are two areas of concern where improvements are required.

I can say that user management is not really flexible. So, if I want to create 1,000 store users, I can't do it as a publisher. You have to register as a store user using the store URL.

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.

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.
