SwaggerHub vs WSO2 API Manager comparison

"It is a stable solution."

"The tool's most valuable feature is licensing."

"The product's initial setup phase was easy and not at all difficult."

"It is quite a useful tool. It is quite good with the validation of the spec. It works quite well in terms of errors and conformity to the OpenAPI standard. It is better than Visual Studio Code in terms of editing."

"You can click & play and add the notation in a human-readable form. Spotlight is also very good in the graphical design of APIs."

"The most valuable features are the collaboration between multiple teams and the control and distribution of specifications."

"I rate the solution's stability a ten out of ten."

"The scalability is endless."

"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."

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

"It's very scalable, which is one of the best features."

"The solution is open-source."

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

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

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

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

"SwaggerHub's UI needs to be improved as it looks very old school."

"It has limited functionality...Unfortunately, some of its features are not what we need."

"The review process should be improved. There seem to be some gaps, at least for us, for the editing part because we would like to have a full request review mechanism. They support some comments, but it is really hard to manage those comments. We would like to use the full request. Therefore, we are now looking to integrate with repositories. It has integration with Bitbucket and GitHub, but we have some internal constraints, and we need to move some of the repositories to GitHub. Our source code is on-premise in Bitbucket, and it was a bit of a problem for us to integrate. Now we are transitioning our repositories to GitHub, and hopefully, we can enable the integration. This will probably solve the problem with the review and approval. Its customization should also be improved. There are limitations around the support for the developer portal. There should be more customization options for the website that you can use as a developer portal. Currently, it has only Swagger UI with minimal customization. You cannot actually add additional pages and documentation for explaining concepts and general things. That's why we have started to look around to see what other tools are doing. They should also allow tagging on the API. We would like to add some tagging on the API to reflect certain things. Currently, any metadata that you would like to have has to be a part of the spec. You cannot do anything else. It should also have support for Open API 3.1, which was released at the beginning of the year. It would be great to be able to switch to that."

"More integration and usability with the cloud microservices would be nice"

"We have to use additional tools to test APIs."

"SwaggerHub could be improved with better integration for tools."

"It could be more intuitive compared to one of its competitors."

"WSO2 API Manager could improve the API approval system."

"The stability is pretty good, but it could be improved."

"Basically, mTLS is a certificate-based communication protocol that WSO2 API Manager doesn't support."

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

"The pricing models offered by WSO2 API Manager could be more flexible and should offer different options so that more people can access them."

"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."

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

"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."

"The tool is cheap."

"It has a yearly subscription, but I am not sure."

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

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

"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."

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

"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."

"WSO2 API Manager is a costly solution, and its pricing is not competitive enough compared to other products."

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