Automated threat response has ensured uninterrupted operations and provides clear 24x7 security visibility
One feature which we would like to have in the product is the inventory. For example, if I have the agent installed on each machine and server, why can't we fetch the inventory details from the console? If you look at the competition products such as CrowdStrike, they give clear visibility into what software is installed, what legitimate tools are installed, and what software is not even licensed or may not be secure to install. Those things are reported back to the concerned team, maybe the systems teams, and they can use it brilliantly. Unfortunately, Sophos Cybersecurity as a Service doesn't provide that kind of visibility into what software or tools are installed on a particular system. There is a feature which requires running what you call an XG script to fetch those kinds of details. However, it is not on the GUI as other competitor companies are providing. That is the one feature we really miss. In terms of service and support, I don't think there is an issue because it is already a brilliant five-star service support. The visibility feature that I already mentioned is the only primary feature which we are missing. The rest is absolutely fine. I don't think there is anything else which should be there.

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

"Since the day we started using Sophos Cybersecurity as a Service MDR, there has not been a single incident."
"One of the great things about WSO2 API Manager is that it is so easy to adopt, and because it's an open source solution, we're able to extend the implementation any time to suit our applications better."
"WSO2 API Manager is open-source, which offers a range of features not found in other open-source API tools."
"It's very scalable, which is one of the best features."
"The user experience is what is most valuable to me."
"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."
"The scalability is fine for our purposes."
"I definitely recommend this solution."
"WSO2 is very stable."
 

Cons

"Unfortunately, Sophos Cybersecurity as a Service doesn't provide that kind of visibility into what software or tools are installed on a particular system."
"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."
"If you are working with the open-source version, sometimes depending on the version, you need to deal with some issues and bugs."
"Dashboards for application monitoring of the APIs would be beneficial, allowing us to check for faulty APIs."
"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."
"From a product perspective, the first thing is that although the documentation provided by WSO2 is good, it could be much better."
"Support GPRS protocol."
"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."
"WSO2 API Manager could improve the API approval system."
