Testimonials
"We were able to successfully launch the platform with limited remote trial support. Since then, we have had excellent support from the WSO2 team through both query support and incident troubleshooting and patching.”
Samuel Purchase, Principal Engineer – API Management Platform, Quantas
"Implementing WSO2 was a key part of our technical strategic vision of decoupling our legacy monolithic application stack to leverage an SOA hybrid-cloud based application architecture, helping us now bring products to market faster with better performance, scalability, and resiliency.”
Michael Enos, Senior Director - Community and Platform, TechSoup
"We believe that reliability and faster time to market are the key success factors. WSO2’s lightweight, highly configurable, and stable products - which are incidentally also easy to learn - have made a major contribution to the project’s success. Finally, the team at WSO2 was quick to respond to any queries and support issues.”
