"Stoplight has the best set of tools for collaborative development"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Stoplight?

Mocking servers are very convenient. Here, frontend and backend teams can work in parallel and get a glimpse of what the application to be developed will look like.

Parallel development is another strength of this platform. The tools for creating documentation for the programs we develop are perfect. Model referencing is one of the best features for collaboration. In general, the software has a user interface that facilitates everything related to application development.

What do you dislike about Stoplight?

Despite all the facilities that Stoplight gives, the price is high. Even users without editing permissions have to pay to view the development.

I would change this for a cheaper license for guest users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Fast and easy platform for building and documenting great API"
4.5/5

"Manual Version of Swagger"
1/5
What do you like best about Stoplight?

I like the ease of sharing and viewing the different parameters for an API Endpoint. I like also being able to Share request bodies. Comparing this to Swagger, I have a hard time opting for a manual option that I have to keep updating to document my APIs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Stoplight?

I wish there were source control of versions, so once you publish you can go back to previous versions. I don't like having to manually update things in multiple place. I would like to be able to use sharable sub-objects. So if one object uses same properties of another (but not ALL the properties are the same) i want to be able to reference a sharable sub-object. I also would appreciate better documentation on how to utilize "examples". Also would like a way to configure bearer auth so I can send requests from stoplight application itself to my endpoints. I also would like better editing abilities for the "Description" side of stoplight - - line breaks do not format well and everything appears on one line. I don't like that you have to "overwrite" the entire schema for a request/response body -- this wipes out any description or lengths I have manually put in, and adding every new field one by one is tedious when I am adding multiple at a time.

"Best overall set of features for API documentation and wonderful support at a competitive price!"
5/5
What do you like best about Stoplight?

Stoplight's support for multiple branches and the ability to make them "listed" or "unlisted" so we can review them internally is top notch and was a major deciding factor. This improves our code review process by making the fully rendered result easy to access for all team members on unlisted branches that are in development.

Stoplight support has been excellent at helping us learn and better use the system.

Feature requests can be reported, advocated for and monitored on the public roadmap. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Stoplight?

Most of our challenges are with limitations of the OpenAPI spec itself so it would be nice to see some support for additional "x-" tags to provide more control over how docs are rendered such as controlling which Schemas are listed in the sidebar, an intro section for tags and a table of contents for each tag.

While Stoplight Studio was a major factor in our decision to try Stoplight we don't use the Stoplight Studio much because at the time of writing it doesn't support a WSL2 environment or '$ref' in the 'paths' values. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Stoplight is difficult to use, buggy"
1.5/5
What do you like best about Stoplight?

Not much, it gets the job done (kind of) but it should be a much better product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Stoplight?

- unclear relationship between yml and form (sometimes these do not match up, variables that are in the yml are not in the form)

- editing the yml is really hard to do correctly

- the recently redesign is very poorly received by customers, we get lots of complaints about this by people using our product

- the front end code of stoplight is not efficient enough to support most API calls in the try it out block

- version history/version control should be more obvious/easier Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Flexible and developer friendly API tool"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Stoplight?

Stoplight is quite configurable and flexible. It has support for styleguides and linting, and both of these can also be easily customized. It can be used for a host of stuff like API design, API development, API mocking, API documentation, and even general documentation & guides. It comes with a built-in API runner so that you or your customers can run and test the APIs right in the browser without a need for tools like Postman. The team is responsive too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Stoplight?

The team is quite new and there are rough edges around the product, which I feel are only a matter of time before they can be polished. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
