"WSO2 API Manager 3.2, Superior Performance"
5/5
What do you like best about WSO2 API Platform?

WSO2 API Manager 3.2.0 has proven to be a high-performance tool, allowing me at UTPL to manage and publish more than 50 APIs efficiently. Thanks to its robust architecture, we have managed to implement a flexible and smooth integration between applications, which facilitates support for our business processes. Additionally, it offers a solid API governance system that allows for comprehensive control in critical areas such as discovery, management, security, monitoring, and traceability of the data flowing between applications. This has optimized interoperability and significantly improved the responsiveness of our technological solutions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WSO2 API Platform?

In version 3.2.0 of WSO2 API Manager that I am currently using, I consider that the alert configuration could be more intuitive and easier to manage, especially when the thresholds set in the API usage policies are exceeded. For example, facilitating the configuration of automatic alerts to notify when a limit of invocations of a specific resource is exceeded would help improve the user experience and responsiveness in API consumption management. Additionally, being able to add alerts to Telegram, Microsoft Teams, which are currently widely used in the community. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
