Includes advanced features like multi-tenancy, analytics, throttling, monetization, and integrated Identity Server for OAuth2, JWT, etc.
Good Integration Capabilities:
Easily integrates with other WSO2 products and external systems through connectors, REST APIs, and custom extensions.

What do you dislike about the product?
Community Support is Limited:
Being open-source is a plus, but the community is not as large or responsive as those of better-known tools like Kong or Apigee. Enterprise support is available, but at a cost.

Review after 9 years usage.
What do you like best about the product?
I have been using WSO2's API Manager product for over 9 years now, and I have followed its evolution since version 2.0.0. I have used version 2.0.0, then 3.2.0, 4.1.0, and currently version 4.5.0.
The product is a real asset and accelerator for managing our API catalog. We rely on its capabilities to provide both external public and internal private service catalogs. Beyond its numerous technical capabilities, the product supports us in managing and governing our API assets in the broadest sense.
Installation and getting started in standard mode is very easy and facilitated by extensive documentation available on the product website.
The implementation could be more tricky if you have special uses cases.
I recommend this product with a rating of 9/10, given that it is an open-source product, there is always room for improvement and evolution. WSO2 is a powerful and renowned publisher, and their teams are always available and do not hesitate to propose product updates if a client need makes sense to them.
I also recommend this product for its reliability in critical production environments, with an availability rate of approximately 99.97% to date.
