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

Good team based API builder/sharing tool

What do you like best? The simplicity when sharing API specs with coworkers and allowing all of users to change those specs. The generated documentation is another positive feature. Finally the fact that we can still edit the code spec directly when in some cases where we can just copy from another location. What do you dislike? Hard to use versioning. A killer feature would be change history, even if just locally. Recommendations to others considering the product: Be patient ...

Not bad but either not great

What do you like best? It is very helpful to handle multiple API version as separate project and update them. What do you dislike? The organization of the element once published is not the best. For instance if you want to and some description and a data model in the same view you simply can't. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? documentation of my API

Great result, but not very intuitive authoring experience

What do you like best? I love how the end product looks and the try it out functionality. What do you dislike? It's a shame that we aren't hosting the docs ourselves, so we're missing out on any SEO data we could be gathering. This is also one of the most difficult tools I've ever used in terms of authoring experience in my 10+ years as a technical writer. If I have to change something that resides in an existing module, I have no way of knowing where it's being reused throughout the ...

Experimental vs Robust

What do you like best? Design and mock APIs at ease. There are many features of this product ranging from design, testing, documenting, and publishing that makes it appealing to many API designers who need to communicate all aspects of evolving an API product. What do you dislike? Design view can be presented better. I like the Read-only view but sometimes when toggling from Read to Design mode, the API endpoints are not grouped in the same way as the Read view so it makes it ...
