The main issue with the product is pricing. It uses core-based pricing for WSO2 Enterprise Integrator and API Manager. It would be best if you had APIM by default. It provides many connectors for easy integration with third-party systems. Often, customers decide to develop using open-source tools like Spring Boot if there aren't many connectors required to avoid increasing costs. They'll develop this way and then deploy using APIM, the bare minimum needed. It is mainly required for very complicated setups with many connectors. In the implementations I've seen, people often used open-source tools because there weren't many third-party systems involved—just their organization's own systems. From WSO2 Enterprise Integrator, I expect them to bring up more and more connectors in the future. That's the main expectation. Having more connectors in various areas will help us when discussing new requirements. I don't have any specific use case right now, so I can't name a particular connector. But, as new technologies emerge, the relevant connectors should be there for those. WSO2 Enterprise Integrator mainly helps with the integration part, which can be simplified only if you have relevant connectors for whatever you're doing.

The initial setup is not difficult if you have prior experience. I've worked with Versions 9 and 10, converted to Version 10, and now working with 11 and 12. It's a bit confusing between versions 10 and 11. Still, we made language transformations, such as using the compute node and MQ nodes, into web services that work easily in REST web services, MQ Web Services, and shared libraries. Shared libraries are significant because they have half our needed functions. I like Version 10 because it was really easy to work. Moreover, the deployment process depends on the requirements. If we consume only one service and the requirement is normal, then it takes only one day to deploy. We can get all the group requirements and deploy the service in Unity. If we want to plan for production, we can give them a timeline of one day.

There is a minor need to improve the ease of configuration. The configuration of the product is not an easy task for everyone. I agree that it has to be that way, as it's a good technology, however, maybe for people with low experience it can be hard. There can be a higher learning curve. The setup can be difficult for those not familiar with the solution. I'd like to see the possibility of configuring the product via consoles with more elasticity without having the need to go to the single files in the file system, add the files manually, and then restarting. We'd like to make some changes, some tuning of the product, using the administration console. If this is extended to the console, it would be great. We need more operations done by the console. It simplifies the life of the worker.

Valuable Features

"The connectors have been the most impactful features for handling integrations. I can use these connectors when I need specific connectivity with a third party, like a core banking system in BFSI. I don't need to do all the development. I take the specific connector, put in the IP address and password, and it takes care of everything."
"WSO2's analytics capability is good, considering the ELC support they provide."
"The solution's technical support is very knowledgeable."

Room for Improvement

"The main issue with the product is pricing. It uses core-based pricing for WSO2 Enterprise Integrator and API Manager. It would be best if you had APIM by default. It provides many connectors for easy integration with third-party systems."
"The micro integrator should be improved. There is room for enhancement considering alternative integration components."
"The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required."

Pricing

WSO2 Enterprise Integrator offers a free open-source version, while enterprise subscriptions are reported as reasonably priced but could be expensive for smaller firms. Subscription fees reportedly range from €20,000 to €30,000 annually per instance, offering direct technical support, which is not available with the community-supported free version. Costs are competitive for enterprises, but license models depend on servers or implementations. Relative to alternatives like IBM Cloud Pak, pricing is significantly lower.

"I rate the product price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."
"The pricing of WSO2 Enterprise Integrator for enterprise subscriptions can be considered expensive, especially from the perspective of someone who prefers open-source software."
"It is a low-cost solution."

Organizations primarily utilize WSO2 Enterprise Integrator for integrating core systems, such as banking and other legacy platforms. It serves as an enterprise service bus, aiding in API orchestration and exposing internal services. Often used as an API gateway, it helps communicate with backend systems and convert data formats.
