Chose SwaggerHub
We have had SwaggerHub for as long as I have been with the company, so I am not sure why SwaggerHub was selected compared to other similar tools.

Chose SwaggerHub
We liked the SwaggerHub UI & the integrations it has with the several cloud API gateways. Though postman has some other great features like the ability to write test cases & execute them, SwaggerUI was more convenient to document & share them.

Chose SwaggerHub
SwaggerHub wins hands down when it comes to RESTFul services/APIs. It's more user friendly, simpler, and can be part of the application library. SoapUI is only better for SOAP or web services.

SwaggerHub is the best for what it can do in terms of API management and monitoring, compared to Postman, which is more like tools for everything (testing, monitoring, mock request, etc.). If you are overwhelmed with the number of API endpoints that you have and are finding it …

We use SwaggerHub to design API endpoint and documentation for our microservices architecture system. It's working really great for us to be able to collaborate more easily on developing API in our team. It also can test our API endpoint which makes an integration test easier when we deploy changes to the API, especially for non-developers/QA.

WSO2 is a unique product that provides pre-integrated components like Gateway, Integrator, identity management, etc. Hence it is best suited when the requirement is not just only publish the APIs but also to secure and transform the APIs. WSO2 can be an overhead if only Gateway is required, as there are other very lightweight gateways available in the market.

Pros
  • Treating the design as documentation ensures that we have consistent and well defined APIs
  • API consumers can export the swagger definition or code stubs to use within their development environment
  • We can iterate through multiple versions of a definition privately before making a version publicly available

Cons
  • Swagger Editor can be bit more user friendly by providing the means to persist different projects as part of user profiles
  • Swagger UI's testing capability or means to test APIs can be improved
  • Swagger UI clients can be added as part of Spring ecosystem

  • Installation of this product is a hell. You need to be an expert to get this running together with WSO2 Analytics. It uses a really confusing method of "port + 1" to connect extra products. I guess this was meant to provide a handy way to add new WSO2 products. In reality you'll need to scroll through numerous config files to set this straight. If you use this out of the box, everything will work all right. But the moment you add SSL certificates, DNS names and you'll need special ports to configure your firewall, this product becomes unmaintainable.
  • The "Store" provides a nice way to group API's. However, the "Publisher" does not... if you have more than 30 API's searching for API's becomes really annoying.
  • The number of configs in this product is huge. As a developer myself, I've never seen (and definitely never created) a product that needed that much config files. Installation and maintenance of products should be stupidly simple, since no developer nor infrastructure person wants to learn something that "just" needs to be a tool.. opposed to being a whole new area of expertise. After using WSO2 API Manager for a while, we wanted to change the admin password... this should be simple enough, like just change the password in "Carbon." But nope. The whole WSO2 environment crashed. We just gave up. Too dangerous.
  • Why so many different "products"? Publisher, Store, Carbon, and numerous hidden interfaces. Analytics, ESB whatever... No wonder there are so many config files and port issues. Make it simple!!!

Nevatech Sentinet: The easiest API Manager available. No knowledge of how the product works internally needed! It works with C# (not java... with all it's config files... really? Java developers?). Great way to categorize API's into groups (domains). All of which is drama in WSO2. But Sentinel is really expensive... Mulesoft: Nice and clean. Again, no expert knowledge needed of how the product works internally. Like using word... or any other application, except WSO2. Have java developers never heard of exposing configurations through a user inyterface?? Mulesoft, however is really expensive. Azure: Not cheap!! And a chaotic interface too. But it pays! If you have a Microsoft account already, this is your next step. We chose WSO2 4 years ago because it was free... but we're moving to azure now. And we're very happy with that decision.
