“WSO2 API manager is a good product but I prefer it as a managed service or a saas”

5.0
Dec 14, 2024
WSO2 API Manager has achieved for us the objectives we wanted to achieve with it's deployment. very easy to use with good documentation. The only thing I didn't like is the setup on-prem and its configuration with other WSO2 products, which was a hell for us.

CRITICAL

“Heavily bugged, bad construction of the whole product, outdated parts”

1.0
Nov 26, 2019
Thoughtless, heavily bugged, archaic parts, the whole product is bad, with a lot of marketing lies. It's clear that not developers invented this, but business, and marketing people, who know nothing about development.

    Sep 13, 2023
    The SSO and SCIM capabilities are great. The platform supports all SSO protocols and enables automated user provisioning, and de-provisioning across all systems and applications. I found WSO2 to be scalable. There are several resources, documentation, and forums for assistance.
