Has required significant improvements due to limited features but offers simple implementation and good support

Boomi AtomSphere API Management has very few features. If you ask me to name the top two, I would say MuleSoft and Apigee, as it depends on the customer-to-customer use cases. After those, WSO2, Kong, and whether you say Informatica API Manager or Boomi AtomSphere API Management, they stand with only three out of ten features which are essential for API management. All the features that Apigee has, they need to add. All the features that MuleSoft has, they need to add. It is not a simple task. The problem is that they lack features. It is not their performance. There are many features to mention. When you take and compare all the features that Apigee has and all the features that MuleSoft has, they need to implement those features.

Middleware integration has become smoother and manages API lifecycles and scopes effectively

Regarding WSO2 API Manager, I have no drawbacks or areas for improvement. However, regarding the Micro Integrator, I had some issues while developing complex services because it was mainly designed to be used for simple services, not complex ones. While using complex services, I encountered some issues. I communicated this with WSO2, and they released other products that solved everything related to my concern. These products were released before my concern was raised. When I explored them, they were pretty good, and I did not see the same issues I had experienced. WSO2 is enhancing themselves, and their products are fine. The previous concern was about the previous product, so it is resolved now since there are new products available. I would like WSO2 to improve quality or response time in support, or both.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"Integrations take less time."

"AtomSphere is tightly integrated into the Boomi iPaaS platform. And Boomi has been augmenting AtomSphere API Management for the past couple of years so version 2.0 is better than 1.0."

"The stability of the solution is good."

"Boomi allows for more secure URLs and easy customization of HTTP and HTTPS protocols, which I find very beneficial."

"We can develop almost any interface that we need."

"We can create APIs straightforwardly and quickly and build jobs for data migration."

"Integration is straightforward. There is no issue with it."

"The product's stability is good."

More Boomi AtomSphere API Management pros

"We use the vanilla version of the WSO2 API Manager and integrate additional features ourselves. The basic features of the API Manager, such as blacklisting and whitelisting, are very helpful. We also created dashboards."

"WSO2 is very stable."

"WSO2 API Manager provides strong internal API security, including token-based authentication and HTTPS support for various formats like REST. However, the newer API security features that are emerging are not available yet. They might be in development, but for now, internal API security is well-covered."

"It's a good product."

"The product is easy to use."

"The documentation is good."

"Functionality-wise, I like WSO2 API Manager - Publisher API and WSO2 Enterprise Service Bus."

"The scalability is fine for our purposes."

More WSO2 API Manager pros

Cons

"To some degree, you need to know what type or amount of API you are creating - whether it's a rest API or web service API. You need to know ETL in order to really get the most out of Boomi."

"It's difficult to integrate the on-prem application with the Dell Boomi Cloud. We have to check to ensure the Dell domain engine is running. It just requires some service endpoints from our on-prem application to connect to Dell Boomi Cloud to make it available to integrate. It would be better if AtomSphere API Management were offered as a purely SaaS application, so I wouldn't need an on-prem component to make it available. We could make a test call or provide some connection parameters. That should enable it to pull the data."

"Most of the basic functionality is there in Boomi, but APG is a more feature-rich solution."

"Boomi AtomSphere API Management can be improved in terms of threshold management and policy management."

"The API management has room for improvement."

"The product is really complex to manage."

"Scalability is an area where Boomi lacks."

"From an improvement perspective, the price could be cheaper."

More Boomi AtomSphere API Management cons

"The user interface could be a bit better."

"I would like to see improvements in the speed of the solution as it can be a bit slow compared to other platforms along with addressing memory issues would be beneficial."

"For fresh graduates and engineers, the setup process can be very difficult."

"The solution’s interface should be more user-friendly."

"We have encountered some concerns with concurrency. Our integrations do not handle high-volume transactions, and when benchmarking, some issues arose with concurrent testing."

"I would like it to be a more convenient development platform with the ability to write orchestrations and so on. Our problem with this product is that in my country, we are the only enterprise that has been using this product. We're missing a lot of knowledge from colleagues to consult with, and we also aren't able to recruit people with relevant skills. It is a big problem. The small team that is maintaining this product is the only team that can actually relate to any technical issue. The support that we're getting from the company is not great. There is also a cultural gap there because they're from Sri Lanka, and it is not easy. They're putting in a lot of effort, but they are not meeting our expectations."

"WSO2 API Manager could increase their security compliance."

"I would improve the product documentation. There are some gaps, and it can be difficult to find the proper documentation for the product if you need to solve something."

More WSO2 API Manager cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Boomi AtomSphere API Management gives customers a good price. Price-wise, the product is good."

"Boomi AtomSphere API Management is a cheap product."

"The product can get very expensive quickly if you connect to multiple databases."

"The price is reasonable."

"As far as I'm aware, the costs are not minimal but satisfactory."

"I am using the free version."

"For our projects, we found the pricing to be a little high."

"It is an open-source product."

"It is costly, around ten thousand per year, per instance"

"WSO2 API Manager is a costly solution, and its pricing is not competitive enough compared to other products."

"It's not expensive, but it could be cheaper."

"We use the open-source version — the free version."
