What do you like best about Stoplight?

I love the way that Stoplight Next is able to offer the full integration abilities needed in the development of APIs.

From my point of view Stoplight Next is the best offer out there!

Great user experience in:

- API specification and validation.

- API testing and cross-validation with it's Swagger specification detailing every possible difference.

between the real response and specification response.

- Separation of environment instances.

- API available on the Web. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Stoplight?

There is nothing to dislike really.

I've had the privilege of using Stoplight Next since it's Beta version and the progress has been remarkable.

It's awesome right now and I believe that the best is yet to come. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Every problem in terms of API development.

The problem we had was that there was no integration in the several API development phases.

Stoplight Next solved that problem perfectly in our company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
