Enables real-time insights and secure API management for efficient customer interactions

The main improvement needed is the ability to have different base URLs for HTTP and HTTPS for different clients. Currently, I can have only one base URL for one atom. It would help if I could set up a proxy with different URLs within Boomi as a simple configuration instead of needing external applications. Also, Boomi can integrate AI to manage backend loads and provide insights into runtime engine consumption.

Easy to deploy APIs and easy to manage CORS configuration

I have used WSO2 Store and WSO2 API Manager at the architecture level. I worked on two versions, namely WSO2 API Manager 2.6.0 and 5.7.0. I have also worked with WSO2 Identity Server versions 5.7 and 5.11. There are certain things that Apigee handles better than WSO2 API Manager. The user interface of WSO2 API Manager is much easier than that of Apigee. The scope of flexibility was much greater in Apigee. In WSO2 API Manager, we had little flexibility and were restricted to a specific software or tool. On the other hand, we had the scope of customization in Apigee.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

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

"The stability of the solution is good."

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

"Integrations take less time."

"Boomi AtomSphere API Management is a good product for integrating with Boomi as a backend service."

"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."

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

"The product's stability is good."

More Boomi AtomSphere API Management pros

"Most of the time, we need to install a plug-in without having any lapse in services or restarting the application. The WSO2 platform can do all deployments without any downtime."

"Helped us to quickly publish our Microservice APIs and enforcing different policies against them, it comes up with features like Security, Throttling policy and it provides complete access to customize API's which actually saves development effort and time."

"It is a scalable solution because it can be scaled horizontally and vertically."

"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 company needs better."

"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."

"The solution is stable."

"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."

"We could easily deploy APIs on WSO2 API Manager, and CORS configuration was easy to manage."

More WSO2 API Manager pros

Cons

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

"The product is really complex to manage."

"Scalability is an area where Boomi lacks."

"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."

"The API management has room for improvement."

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

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

"The solution must provide more AI services."

More Boomi AtomSphere API Management cons

"API Manager is not easy to scale because some of its components lack scalability. It's a difficult point. Especially because companies are so cloud-based these days, microservice scalability is a major thing."

"We had some problems with the reverse proxy not being able to invoke fully qualified domain names, so we have to build some custom scripts to solve this issue."

"The technical support must be improved."

"The product hasn’t been updated for some time."

"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."

"They don't have different URLs for administrators."

"WSO2 API Manager could increase their security compliance."

"Integration is an area that needs to be improved."

More WSO2 API Manager cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is reasonable."

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

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

"Boomi AtomSphere API Management is a cheap product."

"I am using the free version."

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

"There is a subscription-based pricing structure and also the open-sourced version available."

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

"The solution costs less than 20,000 euros a year. I'm not sure of the exact number."

"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."

"I think the other competitors that are providing the same solution are quite expensive. WSO2 API Manager is quite cheap."

"We use the open-source version of WSO2 API Manager, there is no cost."
