Compared to other vendors, it has a rich user interface design with flexible deployment options in on-premise, hybrid, or cloud environments.

WSO2 API Manager provides a rich developer portal to discover the APIs. OpenAPI specification support in API Manager makes it easy to create and manage API definitions. With OAuth support, WSO2 API Manager acts as the centralized authentication and authorization layer for the internal APIs.

Best API Management Product
What do you like best about the product?
The customizations that API Manager allows, help the enterprise entities to have their own implementation of a few features based on their needs, with minimal effort. Easy integration with most of the well-known providers/connectors is an additional USP for me.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the swagger definitions of the SCIM2 and other Rest APIs are not well defined. If they are taken care of, the API way of governing the product will be top-notch.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I helped my organization govern and secure the APIs we have through the API manager. I have written a lot of custom mediations and created RBAC of the resources using scopes. The immediate benefit we reaped from choosing API manager is the secured access to our APIs and we have not seen any issues with the API security so far (touchwood!).
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are considering WSO2 API Manager as your API Management solution, I recommend you understand the basic features of the product first, by implementing a few pilot use cases before starting your entire implementation on it so that there will not be any early setbacks.
Reporting metrics, volumetry and controlling usage throttling is sensational.
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use, management of APIs resources, ease of use control.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes we have problems updating cluster nodes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am having APIs available in a single place, without multiple URLs, usage tracking, metrics, and so on.
