WSO2 API Manager: A Comprehensive API Management Solution
What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate the API subscription management feature, which allows for the organized presentation of APIs on the developer portal. It offers robust control over how third parties can consume APIs in a highly adaptable and dynamic manner.
What do you dislike about the product?
Honestly, I'm not inclined to say that this aspect of the WSO2 API Manager is dispensable. Each feature has its own utility in various scenarios. However, I do suggest integrating the analytics component within the API manager itself, rather than maintaining a separate ELK stack. Configuring ELK independently can be quite time-consuming.

What do you like best about the product?
I have tried many API Management solutions as (MuleSoft ,Apigee and SoftwareAg ) WSO2 was the best among them, as it is characterized by a clear and large documentation, as well as the people you will find when inquiring on StackOverflow Collection .
As he is the only open source API Management , one of its advantages is that even if the functionality is not implemented and released, it allows you to develop it and use it by implemeneted a new interfaces.

What do you dislike about the product?
Until now WSO2 APIM doesn't suppot RAML specification .
Artificial Intelligence capabilities implemented until now, need to be more improved.
The documentation need to be implemented with real samples .

WSO2 APIM won me a lot of time instead of going back to the Backend Team to change or update the API, I do this modification only at the API Manager level, so I don't need a software developer to update and repeat the tests on the Backend again.
