WSO2 API Manager Valuable Features
It's perfect for our use case. It has the capabilities we require.
Technical support is fine.
So far the solution has been stable.
We use it on a daily basis. It handles millions of transactions of API calls per month in our reality, in the Lombardy region in Italy. It does its job as intended and handles everything pretty well.

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

It has a lot of flexibility. The flexibility is definitely a highlight.
We have flexible mapping capabilities, allowing us to provide common mappings or create custom ones as needed.
It also has an excellent dashboard for real-time monitoring of tests and a pluggable development studio where we can code custom logic directly into the execution flow. This goes beyond standard mapping, enabling us to write our own custom logic directly.
The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that it is a free tool. Functionality-wise, I like WSO2 API Manager - Publisher API and WSO2 Enterprise Service Bus.
The product is easy to use. It is pretty simple to configure the solution. It's pretty easy to set it up and use it.

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.
The solution offers a simple and easy configuration. You can get it working up within one or two days' time. It's very fast, simple to use, and you can deploy things quickly. Its very easy to configure and takes less time to create customize policies across the API Gateway.
The solution is very stable and can scale well.

The main feature — the publication of the API, the management section — is great in general.
View full review »The main feature is the enterprise integrator. It's very important to API management. You can implement SOA strategy in the company using the API Manager. Some companies were just using enterprise integrators at the beginning. For implementers, they had to install it to use the API management and identity the server to have more security in the system.
The solution is stable.
It's scalable.
It is easy to set up.

Its open-source features are very good, especially for your production work. If your workload's still running in an on-premises environment, WSO2 is a good product.
I like a few WSO2 plugins we're using for routing, message request transformation, or response transformation. I also like the security encryption feature.
Another thing I like about WSO2 is the nice training and tutorials they have on their website. They have my type of training on their website for API gateway and open banking. They're all self-based training, and you can go to those training pages or videos and learn in your free time.

API management lifecycle is the most valuable.
View full review »I don't know that there is one single valuable feature. We chose the solution because it could integrate and solve multiple issues. Building blocks and all the products we need to integrate can be attached. That capability in the architecture makes it very flexible. Control is possible over even little things like that fact that I can enable and disable the logs.
The logs are well detailed and if I'm troubleshooting, it makes troubleshooting quite easier. I can test the loads and see every detail, their inquires, and their response. I think the recent changes in the WSO2 also make orchestration better. That is designing and orchestrating components is quite easy. For me, the fact that it's built upon TomCat makes everything easier for me. These are all very valuable features.

This is a complete integration suite and it's good for open banking and the like. From a product perspective, it's a good platform.
API Manager upgraded to 3.2 recently, and it has more flexibility in terms of authentication methods. In the version we're currently using, there is only a token. We couldn't do basic authentication.

The most interesting feature is its Mac-based function. We want to use the API Manager to unify our microservice and then publish the service outside. In the future we want to combine it with our service. But we haven't implemented it for other Mac-based work, yet. This is an interesting element.

For basic operations, I do not see too many differences between the other vendors. They all have similar features such as analytics and cloud links. This solution is a little bit faster, easier to use, and has better integration than the other solutions I have experienced. Additionally, If you want to build a newer EDI code, you can transport this data, it is quite a usable product.

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. It is very simple to manage an API lifecycle in this platform. Another great feature is the API store. It has the built-in test features, that allows the API creator to document their API and then publish it. The developers can go to the store and see the API, see the documentation, and can try the features. This is great for developers to have an easy way to test the API before using it. These are the best features I have experienced.

The solution is open-source.
The main feature that I like the most is that it is a containerized solution. The API solution is fully containerized. It also has a micro-gateway.
You can scale the solution up and down easily. It's not a monolith. It's a containerized solution. It's an important and strong feature. It's fully flexible.
The solution has a stack and different products that fit well to my requirements, such as a micro-integrator, analytics, streaming integration, and identity access management.
