IBM Cloud Pak for Integration vs WSO2 API Manager comparison

"The most valuable aspect of the Cloud Pak, in general, is the flexibility that you have to use the product."

"Redirection is a key feature. It helps in managing multiple microservices by centralizing control and access."

"Cloud Pak for Integration is definitely scalable. That is the most important criteria."

"The most preferable aspect would be the elimination of the command, which was a significant improvement. In the past, it was a challenge, but now we can proceed smoothly with the implementation of our policies and everything is managed through JCP. It's still among the positive aspects, and it's a valuable feature."

"It is a stable solution."

"WSO2 API Manager provides OAuth2 token capabilities that our customers use to interact, onboard new customers, and provide approvals whenever a customer is onboarded."

"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."

"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."

"WSO2 API Manager is a stable solution."

"WSO2 API Manager is open-source, which offers a range of features not found in other open-source API tools."

"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."

"Based on the information I have, the solution's most valuable feature is its capability of implementing custom solutions."

"The documentation is good."

"Enterprise bots are needed to balance products like Kafka and Confluent."

"The initial setup is not easy."

"The pricing can be improved."

"Its queuing and messaging features need improvement."

"Setting up Cloud Pak for Integration is relatively complex. It's not as easy because it has not yet been fully integrated. You still have some products that are still not containerized, so you still have to run them on a dedicated VM."

"Lacks some new features and updated functionalities."

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

"The solution could be more user friendly for engineers."

"WSO2 API Manager could improve by adding external API security features, which is one area where there is room for enhancement. Internally, API security is strong, and all other necessary features are already available. It has a solid marketplace, supports both Docker and standalone setups, and offers great enterprise integration. The developer portal has greatly improved the user experience, making it simple and user-friendly wherever we’ve implemented it. Overall, it’s not as complicated as other API gateways."

"WSO2 API Manager should improve its marketplace subscription model and documentation in order to reach a higher level in the market."

"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."

"As far as I'm aware, the costs are not minimal but satisfactory."

"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."
