The WSO2 team from Sri Lanka helped us with everything. We used to reach out to them via the WSO2 dashboard for maintenance. We used to raise tickets and have maintenance expertise and guidance on this dashboard. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.
Recommending WSO2 API Manager to customers depends on their use cases. It's the customer's choice rather than our choice. WSO2 API Manager provides good support for API lifecycle management. We are satisfied with the solution and implemented it with one of the government organizations in India to deploy and manage their APIs. The solution's developer portal feature has improved the developer experience. We charge our customers based on their IDs, secrets, the services they use, and how frequently they use them. We use WSO2 API Manager only for API management. We recommend the solution to customers based on their budget and whether they want an open-source solution or an open-source tool with technical support and minimal licensing cost. The solution provides good documentation. Overall, I rate the solution a seven out of ten.
There are some built-in security features, but we also have our security measures integrated with the product. The tool conducts regular research and comes up with constant improvements. I recommend it to others. I rate the overall product an eight out of ten.
My company is okay with the analytics and usage of the product. The analytics part is mostly managed by the client who uses the product or the API team in my company, so I am unsure about the analytics part. My company has used the product's customized integration capabilities for MongoDB and some other commercial tools. Speaking about the most beneficial features for API lifecycle management, I would say that my company has a DevOps tool in place for deploying all the APIs. My company also received feedback from WSO2's team during the development phase. On the API lifecycle management side, I do not see much, but I know that it consists of areas like API versioning and API deployment. I don't see anything special when it comes to the API lifecycle management area of the product since it is similar to what AWS offers. All the processes related to the product are taken care of by my company. I have worked with many API management tools in the past, and I don't see any case scenarios that were different from what I have seen while using other products. My company has faced so many technical challenges in many areas. Our company's team members face issues with the product since we have not yet properly implemented it. I have worked with the API management tool from Google in the past and have seen that Google provides better documentation, which is much better and cleaner than what WSO2 API Manager provides. I rate the overall product a seven out of ten.
I recommend the product to small companies, and whichever other companies need to deploy WSO2 API Manage should go ahead and use it since it offers the full set of functionalities offered by similar tools like Apigee vs IBM API Connect. I rate the overall tool an eight out of ten.

We are a B2B company. I am the CTO. I work on the solution alone. We use it for a small project. All the technologies we use are open source. I recommend the solution to others. Overall, I rate the tool a seven out of ten.
It's a good product. I prefer it. However, I would only recommend using WSO2 API Manager if the user has a specific requirement for one of its features. If they don't have a specific reason for using it, I can't provide a recommendation because it depends on factors such as the project, the local team, and the desired features. The API management system is complex by default. Therefore, the selection primarily depends on the project and the programming platform used by the developers. Overall, I would rate WSO2 API Manager a seven out of ten because there is still room for improvement.
The traction we've seen with API Manager over the last couple of years has dropped off and solutions like Kong have become more popular. Our focus has now shifted to that product. I'd rate everything about this solution an eight out of 10.
I rate WSO2 API Manager 10 out of 10. Don't hesitate to use it. Most people can start with WSO2 API Manager because it's easy to find what you need in the documentation. I recommend newbies start with WSO2 API Manager.
I'm starting with Microsoft as our API manager on a daily basis. I'm working as a project manager and architect, so I don't install the products. However, I understand their texture and how the parts interact with each other. I'd advise new users to have a company that knows it very, very well. If you don't don't know the product at the beginning, you can make a mess of your project. Choose a good partner first to make everything easier. I would rate the solution eight out of ten. It's a good product.
I definitely recommend this solution. Because the complexity of the setup and the documentation could be improved, I would rate WSO2 API Manager an eight out of ten. I'm pleased with the WSO2 product, but there are some gaps in the documentation. It could be greatly improved in this case so that it is easier to deploy and maintain when there are issues.
I find the solution to be good overall. The solution is receiving a lot of attention and is attracting investors. I rate WSO2 API Manager a seven out of ten.

WSO2 API Manager is very good for small and medium companies, but if you have an enterprise-level company, Google Apigee might be a better choice. I rate WSO2 API Manager an eight out of ten.

I would rate API Manager eight out of 10. The advice I would give to anyone considering API Manager is to take the time to understand how the platform works. It doesn't matter how good a thing is if you don't understand the purpose. For example, you need to understand the use case for service orchestration. And once you know that, you know why it makes sense to bring in WSO2 API Manager. This is a better way to go about things than to force yourself into it, only to find out that it's not working for you at the end of the day.

You have two options to choose when deciding what type of version you want to go with, the open-source or the subscription version. In a production environment, it is best to go with the subscription to make sure all the bugs are fixed. I recommend this solution to others. I rate WSO2 API Manager a nine out of ten.
WSO2 API Manager is a good solution for enterprise API management and, even better, it is free to use the software. If you are doing complex implementations, however, it might benefit you to go with a paid license which will help when you discover any bugs or need extra support that the documentation cannot provide. I would rate WSO2 API Manager an eight out of ten.
Improve the possibility to migrate to different versions would be very good. It would also be good for integration withdifferents identity server to have more possibilities with other tools. On a scale of one to ten I would rate WSO2 API Manager an 8 because I think that the evolution of the product has a lot of differences between near versions. I would like it to be a more stable solution.
I wouldn't actually recommend this to anyone. I think that there are paid solutions, such as Azure API Management, which will relieve you from the administrative burden. Personally, I wouldn't recommend this solution at all. On a scale from one to ten, I would give WSO2 a rating of seven. It's a good tool, but dealing with the on-premises infrastructure is a big headache.

I would say if you're looking for a simple and straightforward solution, it is probably a good idea, but if you're looking for a more advanced option, then you should go for some other solution. I would rate WSO2 API Manager a seven out of ten.

We're just customers. We don't have a business relationship with the company. I'm currently using the open-source version of the solution. We're evaluating 3.2.0. On a scale from one to ten, I would rate it at an eight. If it offered better stability and more documentation, I'd rate it a bit higher.

Right now we are using only the main part of the product. It is an internal application only for deployment at our company at the moment. We haven't deployed the product across to clients for now because they will have to be very technical, and it is almost the nature of clients who use consultants that they may not always be the most technical or want to use difficult products. The experience we are building internally is something we do look forward to sharing. We do have one client who is considering the product. They want to use it similar to how we do as a local API, and we intend to expose it as a possible solution in our business plan for them. We are open to having new clients use it in the near future. The advice I have for any of the organizations or companies looking for an API manager is that they, first of all, verify the building block before selecting a product. For me it is Apache, and I know the amount of work that goes towards Apache, how much has to go into TomCat. If we take on clients with a similar need it would make support rather easy for us to provide for them and we can be very efficient. Secondly, the product is an open-source community build-up. The WS02 organization is its own company providing support. I grew with the product from the time I started to develop with it until now. I've been able to see the changes and how it has evolved. I know in WS02 ESB, now its called Enterprise Integrations. It shows its a growing community, it shows that it has the potential to be a great community. We can work with it for a long time as well as incorporate solutions in the technology that is out there today. The longevity and growth of the product can help people to trust and use the product. On a scale from one to ten where one is the worst and ten is the best, I would rate it an eight. It is an eight and not a ten because of the interface. But it is an eight, which is a good rating because I haven't seen any other vendor that provides a similar platform. You can use the platform directly or you can operate on the platform using the exposed API. I think that makes an exciting API that you can make use of in many different ways. There is no competitor that has more connections or offers such a platform.
WSO2 API Manager is a comprehensive platform that allows organizations to design, publish, and manage APIs.
It provides a centralized interface for API governance, security, and analytics.
With features like API monetization and developer portal, it enables businesses to drive innovation and create new revenue streams.
