WSO2 API Manager is an industry-leading full lifecycle API management platform for building, integrating, securing, and exposing an enterprise's digital services as managed APIs in cloud, on-premises, and hybrid architectures. Fast-track your API strategy with all the capabilities needed by API designers, product managers, operations, and consumers.
Overview
WSO2 API Manager is an industry-leading full lifecycle API management platform for building, integrating, securing, and exposing digital services as managed APIs across cloud, on-premises, and hybrid environments. Whether you're integrating services, providing developer-friendly APIs, or ensuring enterprise-grade security and compliance, it offers the flexibility, scalability, and control required for modern API ecosystems. Key capabilities include:
API Design and Development: With a user-friendly API Publisher, developers can create and deploy APIs adhering to industry-standard specifications such as OpenAPI and GraphQL. This makes it a valuable tool for businesses of all sizes to accelerate their API-first initiatives.
API Security: Security is built into every layer of the platform, including authentication, authorization, traffic encryption, rate limiting, visibility control, threat protection, and token introspection, ensuring robust API protection.
API Gateway: Route, throttle, and secure traffic with an API gateway that adapts to different deployment needs—centralized for traditional enterprise models or decentralized for cloud native scale, performance, and autonomy.
API Developer Portal: Enable API discovery and adoption with a customizable developer portal. It offers categorization, tagging, and advanced AI-assisted search to help developers quickly find and consume the right APIs.
API Analytics: In-depth dashboards provide insights into API usage, performance, error trends, and user behavior, enabling teams to make data-driven decisions and optimize API strategies.
Kubernetes-Native API Management with the WSO2 Kubernetes Gateway: This lightweight, scalable, cloud native gateway uses Kubernetes' full potential for dynamic API management, supporting the entire API lifecycle (design to monetization). It integrates seamlessly with DevOps workflows and offers a unified experience across hybrid and Kubernetes-native environments.
Unified Control Plane: WSO2 API Manager features a unified control plane that can manage and monitor a network of federated API gateways. This includes integration with external systems such as AWS API Gateway and Solace Event Broker, providing a consistent governance and observability experience across distributed API environments.
AI Gateway: Extend API management principles to AI services using WSO2’s AI Gateway. This includes applying guardrails to ensure safe and controlled prompt usage, quality-of-service (QoS) enforcement, semantic caching, and policy-based routing, enabling secure, observable, and governed AI service consumption.
API Governance: Empower organizations to implement consistent governance across the API lifecycle. This includes API versioning policies, access control, documentation requirements, conformance checks, approval workflows, lifecycle states, and integration with source control systems for audit and traceability.
Flexible Deployment Options: WSO2 API Manager supports a wide range of deployment models to meet enterprise needs, whether in public clouds, private data centers, hybrid setups, or modern containerized platforms such as Kubernetes.

What do you like best about the product?
Has almost everything we expect. And scallable with sole configs.
What do you dislike about the product?
Our company has lots of data traffic since we're in retail and sometimes api manager struggles with default settings. And docs can be a lot better, feel like it's not very beginner friendly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our current api manager is a mess, so we needed some solution which can be replaced without that much effort. And obviously should work as expected. And although a bit of learning was required after initial setup its working seamlessly.
