A tool that can be used for free and deployed in less than an hour
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that it is a free tool. Functionality-wise, I like WSO2 API Manager - Publisher API and WSO2 Enterprise Service Bus.
What needs improvement?
In the future releases of the product, I hope WSO2 API Manager remains available as an open-source product. In the Gulf region, there is a great need for open-source technologies.
WSO2 API Manager should be always available to users as an open-source product that is license-free. In that case, it will be very much appreciated and used in the Gulf region and Saudi Arabia.
