"A lower price would definitely be an improvement."
"The stability is pretty good, but it could be improved."
"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."
"Providing easy configuration for email and SMS notifications, layout and customization of admin and developer landing pages."
