A good API Management and Integration product with rich features
What do you like best about the product?
A single unified platform with both good API management and integration capabilities that serve the purpose of a complete middleware platform to build enterprise applications. Specifically, the API management features like security, throttling, governance, monetization etc., are pretty good compared to its competitors and easy to understand and start with for newbies. The new versions of EI have also improved over the previous ones, which makes development easy. Also, being open source, customizations can be done, which is good. WSO2 Support's assistance is commendable in resolving issues.
What do you dislike about the product?
Though WSO2 API Manager and EI have strong capabilities, they still lack stability, and some bugs exist. The setting up can sometimes be challenging due to some minor config issues. In WSO2 EI, there is still scope for improvement compared to other proprietary tools like Mulesoft, where the development of APIs' is easy, possibly due to the nature of its underlying framework. The GUI of both APIM and Integration Studio can be improved. Documentation also has scope for improvement that can reduce issues, and users won't have to reach out to the support team every time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We mainly use WSO2 API Manager as a gateway to expose the business APIs'/services. Its rich API management features like security, throttling, and analytics greatly benefit us.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
API Manager helped us to migrate from an old legacy solution and maintain integration with its under-systems for old client business need fulfilling.
Ease of customisation allowed us to redesign processes, optimize them and provide API M for our clients as a self-service platform which allowed us to free inner resources and use them for platform improvement and decelopment

Highly scalable and agile API management solution
What do you like best about the product?
Very comprehensive cost-efficient API manager product with a lot of agility and scalability. Being free and open source was a great fit for us as a startup back in 2014. We could set up the on-premise solution by referring to the documentation and running since then without any major issues.
It works perfectly with identity management solutions and we used it to easily manage multiple APIs and applications. The JWT token-based claim resolving at the APIs was beneficial in managing user status in our restful API suite.
Also, the product stability /scalability is at a satisfactory level. The API publisher and store portal are very user-friendly and intuitive to manage by even a non-technical user

What do you dislike about the product?
Product configuration needs in-depth technical knowledge and lacks documentation in some areas.
Also, the API monitoring and observability aspects need to be significantly improved as it values a lot when building enterprise-grade applications.

Emojot is a multi-tenant SaaS application in the domain of customer-centric digital transformation domain. We had a challenge in finding highly scalable, versatile APIM solutions while being cost-efficient. WSO2 APIM was instrumental in providing solutions for all these key challenges we were facing in the API management domain.
We are securely managing multiple APIs of our enterprise-grade platform with the WSO2 API manager. We had a challenge in passing user claims to the backend services in a scalable and efficient manner and JWT claim handling became very handy and it worked nicely with the integration of the identity provider which we are using for user authentication.
Also, it makes us very efficient when exposing our APIs to clients in a secured manner.

A Powerful Enterprise API Platform Delivering Best Practice Solutions for Our Customers
What do you like best about the product?
The latest advancements with AI-powered agents for API creation help reduce workload and minimize human errors, making the development process smoother and more efficient. This adds another layer of value on top of the core strengths we already rely on, and it complements the platform’s ease of use. From real-world customer use cases, I’ve observed WSO2 API Manager handling high traffic loads seamlessly and reliably, which demonstrates its enterprise-grade scalability and stability.
What do you dislike about the product?
While WSO2 API Manager is a strong platform, there are areas where improvements could make the developer experience smoother. For example, policy management can be time-consuming since adjustments often require multiple edits or manual steps, and having a more streamlined policy editing console would be very beneficial. Additionally, when working with SOAP services, the platform does not expose the WSDL endpoint externally and instead attempts to handle all services as REST APIs. This makes it challenging to directly access or integrate with the underlying SOAP definition. Addressing these types of usability gaps with incremental enhancements and clearer tooling would greatly improve overall efficiency.
