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.

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"WSO2 API Manager is a low-cost solution. It is one of the most affordable solutions."

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

"WSO2 API Manager is an open-source solution."

"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."
