"WSO2 API Manager is a stable solution."
"This is a flexible and versatile API management solution that has the power to integrate with more than just API."
"There are a lot of tools to help the manager. WSO2 is very easy to install. It has all the principal functionalities that you think about when you want to put up the management solution. It's a very friendly tool."

"They should improve the monitoring tools for on-premises environments."
"The technical support could be improved because their response time is slow."
"iPaaS is something that we would like to see. For example, MuleSoft is kind of an integrated platform as a service (iPaaS), and it provides a lot of out-of-the-box connectors and other such things. This is where Apigee lacks. I'm not sure if that's the roadmap for Apigee, but any improvements on those lines would be helpful where things become easier to implement."
"Apigee is more of an entry level solution that does basic things pretty well, but if you want to go more customizable, you want to really look for another solution."

"The solution’s scalability could be improved."
"Better functionality for validating inputs and outputs would be helpful."
"WSO2 API Manager could improve the API approval system."
"The solution could be more user friendly for engineers."

"The interface needs to be modernized and made more user friendly so the product continues to have a growing community of users."
"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."
