WSO2 Identity Platform Likes & Dislikes

Like

flexibility, advanced features, level of security

Like

Our ability to make our own customizations that align with our compliance and security requirements along with our marketing and branding needs.

Like

WSO2 IS supports open standards like OAuth2, OIDC, SAML and is impressive and well documented We particularly like the fine-grained control over authentication flows using adaptive authentication flows. The management UI has improved over time, with newer upgraded versions introducing a more modern and reactive interface The product really shines when it comes to extensibility, provides custom authenticatotors, connectors and workflows developed and plugged

Dislike

difficulty to troubleshoot on some issues, manageability

Dislike

Too many server file modifications are required to make customizations.

Dislike

The learning curve is steep, especially for teams new to WSO2 or identity protocols in general. While highly customizable, developers need a prerequisite. Community support, while present, is smaller than that of major competitors. For complex enterprise issues, you have to rely on WSO2's support team
