What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes config the product is not an easy task.
It could be useful if we could export APIs using the client tool from one version to another (2.6.0 to 3.2.0 for example)

Feature rich API Management solution
What do you like best about the product?
Since the very first day of onboarding with the WSO2 product, we`ve worked closely with their support team. They helped us with the different challenges / issues we were facing and despite the fact we have an important time zone offset, they are very prompt to respond to any request we have. The WSO2 API Manager is now used in production for multiple projects we we are still expanding with many more incoming projects in the roadmap
What do you dislike about the product?
Containerized deployment documentations not upto the mark. It is distributed across multiple sections. And i feel like few corner cases are not fully documented.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It provides platform where we can expose our apis to partners in quick time and also in controlled way at the same time. It also helps in montioring api usage. It is very easy to plugin wso2 product to AI cyber tools for detecting cyber attacks.

What do you like best about the product?
Simplicity, UI and UX are the best characteristics in the API manager. It is simple and easy to get started. Discord group is very helpful for support. Highly recommend to other.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some parts are difficult to figure out on own. Documentation can be done better. Documentation is not easily understandable and difficult to follow. Video tutorials will be better.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
WSO2 is used for API management and setting rate limits to the API call are benefitting us. Also monitoring using choreo connect and insights and analytics are also helpful.
API Manager is quite useful and user-friendly solution
What do you like best about the product?
It takes a very short time to create an API and publish it. And it ensures API security as well. The documentation was quite helpful when trying out the features API Manager provides.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't have any features I dislike. As I was a beginner, I thought it would be challenging, but thanks to a good documentation guide, I could learn it faster.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
WSO2 API manager addresses the API management complexities and gives a good solution for managing APIs with much security.
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.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
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.

Support API driven flexible development including rich set of security features
What do you like best about the product?
Flexible Security application to the APIs, by default security applys with Aouth2, different levels of security can be applied easily.
What do you dislike about the product?
Almost every feature I expect from an API Manager product is there. So, I don't have any specific feature that I dislike
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm using API manager to apply the security of the API, which is built from Spring Microservice. There, I have two kinds of API for internal system usage and external usage. It easily achieves by configuring an external gateway and an internal gateway. Without API Manager, it will take much effort to build security for the API and maintain two kinds of servers for the API calls.
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.
