Vivek Ram - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Engineer at Litmus7
Headless commerce flexibility has enabled me to build custom front ends and integrate third party APIs
Their documentation is comprehensive, but I noticed that the Commerce Academy course content was outdated and not enough for me to clear the certificate. However, their documentation and GitHub code samples were more comprehensive and helpful in understanding and upskilling in VTEX. What stood out is the flexibility and the MERN stack tech stack that VTEX uses. This is why I gave it an eight. I did not give it a ten because during development, there were some performance issues with load times, and the Commerce Academy platform content and video content is not up to date. I had to refer to the documentation every time for the latest content. Regarding VTEX Commerce Platform's AI capabilities, they have AI integrated in their admin interface where I can ask questions related to their settings. However, I do not find that useful because it was not working properly at times, it was not giving responses, or it was throwing errors. This made me stop using that AI. The AI integration is not capable enough or is not fully integrated and needs 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

"VTEX Commerce Platform stands out as a headless commerce platform that offers customizability and flexibility to add our own features."
"VTEX Commerce Platform has positively impacted my organization by making my work easier and having a positive impact overall."
"WSO2 API Manager provides OAuth2 token capabilities that our customers use to interact, onboard new customers, and provide approvals whenever a customer is onboarded."
"WSO2 API Manager is a low-cost solution; it is one of the most affordable solutions."
"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."
"I think the best part about WSO2 API Manager is that it's highly customizable because it's open-source."
"Its open-source features are very good, especially for your production work."
"The user interface is easy to navigate, and the documentation is extensive. It's open-source, so everything is available, and we can create what we need. That's not necessarily a feature, but it's an advantage."
"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."
"API management lifecycle is the most valuable."
 

Cons

"I did not give it a ten because during development, there were some performance issues with load times, and the Commerce Academy platform content and video content is not up to date."
"I do not find it easy to manage all my stores and products from one place in VTEX Commerce Platform, as the dashboards are somewhat sparse in analytical information despite making it easy to manage all the stores from one place."
"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."
"Integration is an area that needs to be improved."
"The documentation could be stronger and maybe the community support could be stronger."
"The professional support and licensing aspects of WSO have been a challenge."
"WSO2 API Manager should improve its marketplace subscription model and documentation in order to reach a higher level in the market."
"The support system is not that great."
"The initial setup and configuration can be difficult if a person is not well-versed in the product."
"The tool's commercial aspect could be improved. Pricing varies with partners, so selecting the appropriate pricing can be challenging."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"WSO2 API Manager is a low-cost solution. It is one of the most affordable solutions."
"For our projects, we found the pricing to be a little high."
"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."
"The solution costs less than 20,000 euros a year. I'm not sure of the exact number."
"It is costly, around ten thousand per year, per instance"
"We use the open-source version — the free version."
"There is a subscription-based pricing structure and also the open-sourced version available."
