What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
API Manager helped us to migrate from an old legacy solution and maintain integration with its under-systems for old client business need fulfilling.
Ease of customisation allowed us to redesign processes, optimize them and provide API M for our clients as a self-service platform which allowed us to free inner resources and use them for platform improvement and decelopment

Best API Management platform with AI Capabilities
What do you like best about the product?
WSO2 API platform is the new umbrella of API related products. Primary products in this category are API Manager, AI Gateway, API Gateway, Moesif and MCP hub. I have been existing user of API Manager product. However with launch of API Manager 4.6, I have been involved in the migration from 4.1 to 4.6 and food some exciting features related to AI. The user interface has some changes and it's consistent in publisher, devportal, admin portal and the management console. AI Gateway, API gateway Federation and MCP hub are some really important features that are aligned with future requirements and customer vision. The pricing model was some core based for on-remise or IAAS deployments on cloud. However, the analytics platform Moesif is separately charged so we planned to go with open source version ELK based analytics to meet existing customer requirements. The SaaS version of the product comes with minimal configuration and as we evaluated the product, there is no dependency on infra setup due to SaaS offering. The product support has been enhanced with AI capabilities ; i.e. now we have now AI support assistant allowed by the customer success team. Query resolution time has been reduced now. Cloud as well as on premise offerings has same top notch performance in APIs accessibility.
What do you dislike about the product?
The publisher portal UI is a little confusing due to a mix of everything on a same page. Moesif analytics is charged separately despite of a WSO2 product family; this results in product usage missing due to budget constraint.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With evolution of generative AI, it's important to control the tokens usage on respective LLM provider. AI gateway is extremely helpful to manage AI tokens usage. APIs monetization with Moesif has now better capabilities in analytics, custom dashboards and billing engine integrations. So, along with API management, it's now AI native API management solution with future ready solution. Highly recommended in open-source family.

What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes config the product is not an easy task.
It could be useful if we could export APIs using the client tool from one version to another (2.6.0 to 3.2.0 for example)

Feature rich API Management solution
What do you like best about the product?
Since the very first day of onboarding with the WSO2 product, we`ve worked closely with their support team. They helped us with the different challenges / issues we were facing and despite the fact we have an important time zone offset, they are very prompt to respond to any request we have. The WSO2 API Manager is now used in production for multiple projects we we are still expanding with many more incoming projects in the roadmap
What do you dislike about the product?
Containerized deployment documentations not upto the mark. It is distributed across multiple sections. And i feel like few corner cases are not fully documented.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It provides platform where we can expose our apis to partners in quick time and also in controlled way at the same time. It also helps in montioring api usage. It is very easy to plugin wso2 product to AI cyber tools for detecting cyber attacks.

Simplicity, UI and UX are the best characteristics in the API manager. It is simple and easy to get started. Discord group is very helpful for support. Highly recommend to other.

WSO2 API manager addresses the API management complexities and gives a good solution for managing APIs with much security.
Highly scalable and agile API management solution
What do you like best about the product?
Very comprehensive cost-efficient API manager product with a lot of agility and scalability. Being free and open source was a great fit for us as a startup back in 2014. We could set up the on-premise solution by referring to the documentation and running since then without any major issues.
It works perfectly with identity management solutions and we used it to easily manage multiple APIs and applications. The JWT token-based claim resolving at the APIs was beneficial in managing user status in our restful API suite.
Also, the product stability /scalability is at a satisfactory level. The API publisher and store portal are very user-friendly and intuitive to manage by even a non-technical user

What do you dislike about the product?
Product configuration needs in-depth technical knowledge and lacks documentation in some areas.
Also, the API monitoring and observability aspects need to be significantly improved as it values a lot when building enterprise-grade applications.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Emojot is a multi-tenant SaaS application in the domain of customer-centric digital transformation domain. We had a challenge in finding highly scalable, versatile APIM solutions while being cost-efficient. WSO2 APIM was instrumental in providing solutions for all these key challenges we were facing in the API management domain.
We are securely managing multiple APIs of our enterprise-grade platform with the WSO2 API manager. We had a challenge in passing user claims to the backend services in a scalable and efficient manner and JWT claim handling became very handy and it worked nicely with the integration of the identity provider which we are using for user authentication.
Also, it makes us very efficient when exposing our APIs to clients in a secured manner.
