Provides robust security for financial transactions and protects the ERP database from direct exposure
My main feedback is about the account management. I feel they should connect with clients more frequently, beyond just selling the product. They should actively seek feedback and tailor the approach to client needs. It shouldn't always be about pushing additional products. My main suggestion is focused solely on the account management approach, specifically fostering closer and more proactive client relationships. So, the pricing could also be bit improvement.

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

"The most valuable features for us are security and centralization."
"The security, the authentication, and the publishing qualities are great."
"The initial setup isn't overly difficult."
"It is very secure, easy to manage, and easy to configure. It is a web-based API. Moreover, we get direct support from Oracle guys."
"It's a good product."
"It is a scalable solution because it can be scaled horizontally and vertically."
"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 very scalable, which is one of the best features."
"The solution is open-source."
"This solution is a little bit faster, easier to use, and has better integration than the other solutions I have experienced."
"WSO2 API Manager is easy to use."
"As far as I am aware this solution is the first API Publisher that allows you to create and publish API and to manage the API lifecycle."
 

Cons

"We'd like it if they could reduce the cost without sacrificing on features."
"From an administration and developer point of view, the user interface and user experience are not great."
"Before gaining experience with the product, I found that it was not simple to use and things took longer to do than I had anticipated."
"Oracle should actively seek feedback and tailor the approach to client needs. It shouldn't always be about pushing additional products."
"I would like it to be a more stable solution. Maybe in the last version that is approved. For me it would be good if they had a community established version."
"Basically, mTLS is a certificate-based communication protocol that WSO2 API Manager doesn't support."
"The pricing models offered by WSO2 API Manager could be more flexible and should offer different options so that more people can access them."
"I can say that user management is not really flexible. So, if I want to create 1,000 store users, I can't do it as a publisher. You have to register as a store user using the store URL."
"I think they could greatly improve the general UX with their solutions."
"The interface needs to be modernized and made more user friendly so the product continues to have a growing community of users."
"Dashboards for application monitoring of the APIs would be beneficial, allowing us to check for faulty APIs."
"For fresh graduates and engineers, the setup process can be very difficult."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Oracle is not a cheap solution and it is not affordable for all of our clients in Portugal."
"It is an open-source product."
"WSO2 API Manager is a costly solution, and its pricing is not competitive enough compared to other products."
"I am using the free version."
"We have not opted for the paid version of WSO2 but we have implemented the free and open source WSO2 software to a great extent and it is working as per our expectation."
"WSO2 API Manager is quite an expensive tool. I rate the product's pricing a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is low and ten is high."
"The challenge is the increasing pricing, which has led some customers to consider alternatives, like using Spring Boot solutions instead. The rising costs, especially as cores and usage increase, have been a concern, prompting some to migrate to other products."
"We use the open-source version of WSO2 API Manager, there is no cost."
"The solution costs less than 20,000 euros a year. I'm not sure of the exact number."
