Stoplight Reviews in January 2025: User Ratings, Pros & Cons

Nice integration features

What do you like best? We can push our swagger annotations on our API into Stoplight for documentation. It's great! What do you dislike? Setting up the integration took some time to iron out the kinks What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? Easy to generate up-to-date documentation for our users

Had to document integrations between salesforce and an integration layer team.

What do you like best? I like the organization of the tool and the way of testing the endpoints from it. What do you dislike? I hate that I cannot copy information from the read-only form of the integration point. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? Facilitates communication between various teams implicated in the project.

Stoplight is actually pretty great

What do you like best? The easy to use and functional Open API editing tool that really makes it simple to create a detailed and comprehensive API. What do you dislike? The Save and Commit features are great but need the extra layer of git functionality that you get with branches and pull requests to control changes. I'd say that's a major missing feature. Recommendations to others considering the product: Use it. There's a lot of great functionality and more on the way. ...

Wonderful product to use to define our API. Great doc experience for our customer base!

What do you like best? 1. We love how the API documentation is presented to our customers. It's a crisp clean interface that allows them to view, navigate and test our API with ease. For this alone, I wouldn't trade it for the world. 2. Very simple to deploy new changes What do you dislike? 1. It's been hard to implement its usage across our entire organization. Difficult user interface with high room for failure. Mistakes are easily corrected. 2. As we teach Stoplight ...

Best was to build models and routes and publish documentation

What do you like best? Multiple editing modes for the models and routes. Can use the UI or direct JSON schema editing in JSON. The self-publishing documentation is invaluable to easily sharing information with your team or even for public consumption. What do you dislike? The "next" (current) UI doesn't seem as good as the Legacy version, however, I haven't played with it enough to be more thorough in detail for it. I DO wish there was a way to "upgrade" (without Swagger import, ...

Have been very pleased with stoplight and it's ease of use and features

What do you like best? The workspaces and the hosted docs and reloads What do you dislike? exporting OAS and having to pull out all the stoplight specific code Recommendations to others considering the product: Ease of use, rapid API development, good looking docs What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? API development. It is helpful for me to start the development architecture through the APIs at first. Very rapid API ...

Great tool for DevOps teams working with Low-Code platforms

What do you like best? API Specification designer and the mock server What do you dislike? Some validations on de API designer aren't working properly. I have to refresh the page to recover the validation checks. Also when referencing to a model, a green check icon looks like a button. Almost everytime I click it. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? Developing/Delivering faster due to the agreements in the API contract.

A powerful tool in general but still quite a few things to improve

What do you like best? The flexibility of defining API docs, tests and all relevant API stuffs in one single container, which makes it a powerful tool to use and it greatly addresses our e2e needs for API development. The designer mode is also my favorite, from which non-technical staffs could easily gain information. What do you dislike? Stoplight being a new tool and start-up company, many times I find the documentation is lagging behind and we would have to approach product ...
