Vivek Ram - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Engineer at Litmus7
Headless commerce flexibility has enabled me to build custom front ends and integrate third party APIs
Their documentation is comprehensive, but I noticed that the Commerce Academy course content was outdated and not enough for me to clear the certificate. However, their documentation and GitHub code samples were more comprehensive and helpful in understanding and upskilling in VTEX. What stood out is the flexibility and the MERN stack tech stack that VTEX uses. During development, there were some performance issues with load times, and the Commerce Academy platform content and video content is not up to date. I had to refer to the documentation every time for the latest content. Regarding VTEX Commerce Platform's AI capabilities, they have AI integrated in their admin interface where I can ask questions related to their settings. However, I do not find that useful because it was not working properly at times, it was not giving responses, or it was throwing errors. This made me stop using that AI. The AI integration is not capable enough or is not fully integrated and needs improvement.

Middleware integration has become smoother and manages API lifecycles and scopes effectively
Regarding WSO2 API Manager, I have no drawbacks or areas for improvement. However, regarding the Micro Integrator, I had some issues while developing complex services because it was mainly designed to be used for simple services, not complex ones. While using complex services, I encountered some issues. I communicated this with WSO2, and they released other products that solved everything related to my concern. These products were released before my concern was raised. When I explored them, they were pretty good, and I did not see the same issues I had experienced. WSO2 is enhancing themselves, and their products are fine. The previous concern was about the previous product, so it is resolved now since there are new products available. I would like WSO2 to improve quality or response time in support, or both.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"VTEX Commerce Platform stands out as a headless commerce platform that offers customizability and flexibility to add our own features."
"VTEX Commerce Platform has positively impacted my organization by making my work easier and having a positive impact overall."
"WSO2 API Manager is open-source, which offers a range of features not found in other open-source API tools."
"It's very scalable, which is one of the best features."
"The advice I have for any of the organizations or companies looking for an API manager is that they, first of all, verify the building block before selecting a product."
"I think the best part about WSO2 API Manager is that it's highly customizable because it's open-source. The partnership model is quite lucrative for us, it helps us to go and pitch to our customers. You can build a lot of business models yourself that you want to use. You are able to do a lot of the solutions."
"This solution is a little bit faster, easier to use, and has better integration than the other solutions I have experienced."
"It's a good product."
"I recommend this product."
"Yes WSO2 API Manager is scalable"
 

Cons

"I do not find it easy to manage all my stores and products from one place in VTEX Commerce Platform, as the dashboards are somewhat sparse in analytical information despite making it easy to manage all the stores from one place."
"During development, there were some performance issues with load times, and the Commerce Academy platform content and video content is not up to date."
"From a product perspective, the first thing is that although the documentation provided by WSO2 is good, it could be much better. We're in the middle of a complex migration, moving away from VMs to Kubernetes with the latest version of WSO2 and good documentation is essential to us right now."
"WSO2 API Manager can be improved a lot relating to usability"
"They don't have different URLs for administrators. They should have one in place like Kong."
"I wouldn't actually recommend this to anyone. Personally, I wouldn't recommend this solution at all."
"The stability is pretty good, but it could be improved."
"The tool's commercial aspect could be improved. Pricing varies with partners, so selecting the appropriate pricing can be challenging."
"The technical support must be improved."
"WSO2 API Manager can be improved a lot relating to usability. It is a bit heavy, and the workflow is more complicated in terms of API creation and publishing."
