Better QA testing prior to releases rollout is missing,Better support is needed.Apart from that nothing special cons we have encountered and we are using this for long time and it has served our purpose pretty well and as it's stable so we have not encountered any such problem as such.

Even I'm pretty new to wso2 am, I can say it opened me a world with solutions for publishing APIs and its security. I like the simplicity (only when you really learn how to use it :) ) of the use of this technology. The platform is really transparent and easy to use, even if you are a begginer, the only problem is configuration the rest is not a problem. I don't know other technologies for publishing APIs, but from my experience this platform is for sure a good solution to what you need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Well, I can say, only by reading the documentation on the site you really can't say you will know how to resolve all the problems you are facing with, because it has its own terminology. I think you need some good course to pass before you start using it. When you need to find the solution to your problems usually you will search it on the internet, but I found little or nothing, so the documentation will be your best friend :) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As it is open source good community is available and very easy to interpret and integrate to your applications.

Writing code also pretty much easy and easy to understand as it follows XML structure.

The best part is we can use code of multiple languages, that made developers job easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Most of the time I faced issue with the 2 way SSL configuration and key management.

Ws02 Should support code deployment tools.

Multi tenant configuration is bit difficult and confusing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

First of All WSO2 API Manager is an opensource product, and provide security, API life cycle Management , caching and lots of features which are great for any open source product, I love the back bone of the application which is Java, i also love that WSO2 provide other tools and application to facilitate API Manager such as Identity server for advance authorization / authentication solution and EI etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The technology and frameworks which are used in development are only used within the WSO2 ecosystem which make it a little difficult to debug or enhance it. On one hand they used Java which is best option and on other hand they user Jaggery JS which no one use in the market. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its open source and free. For a open source project its feature packed.

Best compatibility with other open sources like Apache Camel etc and easy customization and policy management are key concepts of WS02 and best migration tool from ESB to API Gateway Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes we will not get proper error message when deploying YAML or Contracts. We have to analyse and check the logs to find the root cause. YAML Validation etc logic have some issue. But as open source acceptable Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I hit upon Wso2 when one of our client wanted to transform all their legacy webservices in SOAP to REST. The robustness of the platform is impressive. WSO2 API manager provides both on-premise and cloud versions unlike many enterprise products which are based on the cloud. Above all, it is open source. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that I can build a swagger file to describe our APIs using the appropriate annotations during the Maven build process, and then directly upload this file into the WSO2 API Manager. This is a distinction I have found to be true with many WSO2 products in that, you are not bound to use their tools in order to create specific artifacts to load into their products. Because all of their products are both open source and support open standards, you can use the tools and expertise that you already have in house and put it to use with their middleware products.

I am still at a loss to find something that I dislike about the API Manager per se, because there is nothing on the market like it that I have found with which to compare it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

WSO2 API Manager easy to use. I have been using it for more than 8 months, could not find any issues.

Swagger integration is also a greater advantage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
