In my opinion and experience, I believe that the most complete and customizable Developer Portal are those of IBM (API Connect) and Google (APIGEE), since both are based on CMS Drupal, with all the advantages that this entails.
I found TIBCO Mashery had the best Developer portal. Mashery helped create the API Management category almost over 10 years ago as a SaaS vendor focusing on enabling the developers. try api.bestbuy or api.macy's i think both are good developer portal examples of mashery. OpenAPI/Swagger is just the start with Innovation around Flogo and Mashling facilatating evented APIs built on composable microservices.
The DevPortal provides you an flexible and complete interface to expose to the world everything about the APIs that you want to show, the OpenAPI definition, a very useful tool to test the API, but the huge challenge is about the customization process, because even when it is possible to change things, IBM doesn't provides you documentation, workflows to achive this capabilyties, and the isolation about catalogs, products, APIs it is something abstract and sometimes frustating.

Have a look at Ceptor API Developer portal (ceptor.io) a relatively new product on the market.
