Offers pre-built packages for quick and easy onboarding of APIs but configuration is not that easy

The configuration is not that easy. It's not that user-friendly, and security-wise when you try to implement the security layer on top of it, it's not that easy either. There are certain things where the performance is not that great. When the traffic is huge, we see some lag in performance.

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

"The most valuable aspect of Mashery is its stability."

"Conversion to RESTful and SOAP protocols and management console (can manage individually throttled settings to manage our service levels for customers)."

"The most valuable feature is the ability to have different packages based on the API keys. The same core system can have different packages based on different environments."

"It has something called packages. In that way, it's good because we have some pre-built packages. So, if you want to onboard different APIs, we can just add them to the package, and it's there."

"The reason why we selected the solution originally was because of its ability to have a gateway both on-premise and in the cloud. This is the most valuable aspect of the solution for us."

"The solution is a good general API manager. They have a few propriety features but are offering items that are standard in the industry as well."

"The platform's most valuable features are its capabilities to support security measures such as tokenization, token refresh, throttling, and enforcement of payloads."

"The control that we have and the security features are very valuable. With regard to API implementation or API orchestration, it works very well in the cloud because as soon as you create an API with one click, you can actually expose your APIs."

More TIBCO Cloud API Management pros

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

"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."

"The product is easy to use."

"The solution is stable."

"This solution is a little bit faster, easier to use, and has better integration than the other solutions I have experienced."

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

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

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

More WSO2 API Manager pros

Cons

"Policy management has been a bit of a concern."

"It's not that user-friendly, and security-wise when you try to implement the security layer on top of it, it's not that easy either."

"It lacks many features at the API gateway compared to other solutions."

"Monetization is not that great in API management. You need customization. Improvements are needed with sandbox local as well as with monetization. Those features are missing."

"The management console of API and customers' applications are not the most intuitive."

"I'd like to see TIBCO integrate authentication and security features into Mashery."

"They can fix some stability issues and probably make it more user-friendly so that not only an IT savvy person but an end-user can also easily navigate through this solution."

"The security needs improvement, specifically, propagation of security to an API. Calling other APIs is something that is missing in the product and that makes us think about going to a competitor."

More TIBCO Cloud API Management cons

"I would like to see improvements in the speed of the solution as it can be a bit slow compared to other platforms along with addressing memory issues would be beneficial."

"The tool's commercial aspect could be improved. Pricing varies with partners, so selecting the appropriate pricing can be challenging."

"I can say that user management is not really flexible. So, if I want to create 1,000 store users, I can't do it as a publisher. You have to register as a store user using the store URL."

"For fresh graduates and engineers, the setup process can be very difficult."

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

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

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its price is pretty reasonable. There are some lightweight API options available in the market, but given the feature set that TIBCO provides, its price is really reasonable."

"TIBCO Cloud API Management is not an expensive solution."

"We have secured terms on which we have been happy to renew for a number of years."

"Licensing is quite flexible."

"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."

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

"It is an open-source product."

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

"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."

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

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