What do you like best about Stoplight?

Stoplight has a simple interface, just what i expect from an open api platform. It's easy to create, sync and update documentation. Git integration and hooks work well, and the CLI is simple to use Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Stoplight?

There is no async api option. The CLI does not allow us to edit the files after the upload has happened. You can not sync back files to github. Would be nice if there was a 2-way file sync. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Stoplight solving and how is that benefiting you?

We want an internal open api documentaion for other developers to see and understand other team's api's. We also have customer facing apis that we want to share and document so they can integrate better Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Stoplight?

It is simple and easy to get the documentation ready for your users. We were looking for a 3rd party tool to launch our developer portal, and we were able to do it quickly. The platform is growing in the right direction, and indeed it would add more helpful features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Stoplight?

While we were creating the docs, it had few limitations and was automatically changing the indent by itself. But it's resolved for now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Stoplight solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use stoplight to host our developer docs, and it has helped us a lot in making quick changes and improvements due to no engineering team dependency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Stoplight?

It is a simple tool to learn and easy to install. It is a great tool to create API mocks and to test apis. It is a API suite which helps in developing, managing and testing APIs. It has inbuy integration with GitHub and it is quite similar to Postman and provides multiple workspaces to work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Stoplight?

There could be more integrations with different tools which are used on day to day basis. For example it is missing integration with Microsoft active directory. The UI can be improved as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Stoplight solving and how is that benefiting you?

We deal with a lot of APIs so we use Stoplight to manage, test and debug APIs. We use the workspaces provided by Stoplight so that we can share these workspaces with internal as well as external teams. We use it with Swagger for documentation of APIs and testing it on the fly.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about Stoplight?

Stoplight provides an excellent API design and documentation platform, unlike anything else available in the market.

It is useful to:

1. Developers because they can export the OpenAPI file and import it into their development environment. They are also able to access API mocking to test their implementation.

2. Business and Product teams to be able to access business/functional requirements (beyond just the technical API specifications).

Stoplight, by far is the most progressive and comprehensive technical design and documentation platform we have come across. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Stoplight?

There are opportunities to improve certain user experience features, such as being able to drag and drop to reorder the menu of pages/APIs and, within particular models or methods, the order of fields. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Stoplight:

Stoplight is highly effective at providing a design-first approach to software development - consider using Stoplight to ensure APIs and technical documentation are available to both technical and business personnel. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Stoplight solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are utilising Stoplight to develop an industry-wide interoperability solution and have found Stoplight to be invaluable as a platform to enable collaborative technical design and centralised access to documentation - all presented in a user-friendly way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
