Oracle API Management vs WSO2 API Manager comparison

"The most valuable features for us are security and centralization."

"The initial setup isn't overly difficult."

"It is very secure, easy to manage, and easy to configure. It is a web-based API. Moreover, we get direct support from Oracle guys."

"The security, the authentication, and the publishing qualities are great."

"This is a flexible and versatile API management solution that has the power to integrate with more than just API."

"Functionality-wise, I like WSO2 API Manager - Publisher API and WSO2 Enterprise Service Bus."

"Yes WSO2 API Manager is scalable"

"The flexibility is definitely a highlight. We have flexible mapping capabilities, allowing us to provide common mappings or create custom ones as needed."

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

"The main feature — the publication of the API, the management section — is great in general."

"I think the best part about WSO2 API Manager is that it's highly customizable because it's open-source. The partnership model is quite lucrative for us, it helps us to go and pitch to our customers. You can build a lot of business models yourself that you want to use. You are able to do a lot of the solutions."

"WSO2 API Manager has a user-friendly model."

"From an administration and developer point of view, the user interface and user experience are not great."

"Before gaining experience with the product, I found that it was not simple to use and things took longer to do than I had anticipated."

"Oracle should actively seek feedback and tailor the approach to client needs. It shouldn't always be about pushing additional products."

"We'd like it if they could reduce the cost without sacrificing on features."

"From a product perspective, the first thing is that although the documentation provided by WSO2 is good, it could be much better. We're in the middle of a complex migration, moving away from VMs to Kubernetes with the latest version of WSO2 and good documentation is essential to us right now."

"The user interface could be a bit better."

"The price and the complexities attached to the solution are two areas of concern where improvements are required."

"The user interface needs to improve, it is a bit outdated."

"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."

"They are developing another platform called Choreo that allows you to create API itself using the WSO2 programming language Ballerina. It would be great if they added a direct connection between Choreo and API Manager, that would be great. I think they are working on that, but I'm not sure."

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

"From what I have experienced from the versions I have tried, they could improve on the multi-tenant environments to allow some kind of SSO single sign-on between tenant."

"Oracle is not a cheap solution and it is not affordable for all of our clients in Portugal."

"It is an open-source product."

"It is costly, around ten thousand per year, per instance"

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

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

"I am using the free version."

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

"It's not expensive, but it could be cheaper."

"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."
