Compared to other API manager it's very easy to learn easy to use and it manger user better in terms of security it's awesome and API management facility is pretty flaw less and it's very easy to integrate with other software for our case the back end was a java based program front end was angular and we used ESB to communicate with other software and WSO2 was the center for all it connected everything very easily and in efficient way and it was so secure that we used for banking client.

For managing my rest and soap APIs developed from WSO2 EI
great platform for advanced users
What do you like best about the product?
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.
What do you dislike about the product?
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 :)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I was given the task from my company to resolve and create the interceptor class, that will intercept all calls towards the APIs that are published, so I can manage some user profile security and give back the results based on user's data associated in database. I couldn't know how to do that only based on documentation, it wasn't so obvious that I had to look for handler class, as though I'm a self learner it was a bit difficult to find some answers, but in the end I resolved it. The greatest benefit of this platform is that you can manage and even publish your APIs in only a couple of minutes, so it's really quick and easy to use.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
From my humble experience I can say wso2 am can be a really useful tecnology if you have some knowledge about how to use it. It gives simple and secure solutions to what you need. If you want to get this knowledge before start using it there are really good courses that you can buy (or your company for you), the only thing about courses I found on internet is that they are very expensive, but I think it's worth every money. If you don't get any course before start using it, try to find someone that has already experience with thins technology to help you, especially with configuration, the rest is easy by following only the documentation.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Coding standards must improve.
Should support to integrate with code deployment tools.
Good user manual to configure and install

What do you like best about the product?
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

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
