"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."
"WSO2 API Manager's most valuable features are the simple interface that is easy to use and the APIs lifecycle."
"This is a flexible and versatile API management solution that has the power to integrate with more than just API."
"The main feature — the publication of the API, the management section — is great in general."
"WSO2 API Manager is easy to use."
"API management lifecycle is the most valuable."
"It's a good product."
"Its open-source features are very good, especially for your production work."
"Functionality-wise, I like WSO2 API Manager - Publisher API and WSO2 Enterprise Service Bus."
"Sometimes when new features are released, they are not immediately stable."
"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."
"We would like a better tool for generating documentation for the APIs to be developed."
"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."
"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."
"Providing easy configuration for email and SMS notifications, layout and customization of admin and developer landing pages."
"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."
"WSO2 API Manager could increase their security compliance."
"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."
"The price and the complexities attached to the solution are two areas of concern where improvements are required."
"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."
"The technical support must be improved."
"WSO2 API Manager should improve its marketplace subscription model and documentation in order to reach a higher level in the market."
