User Testimonials
	Filestack	Swagger Open Source, supported by SmartBear
Likelihood to Recommend	Filestack The integration is airy and the performance is amazing. Initially, we used our photo file uploader and it worked, but as our needs grew the developmental effort to support new needs took a lifetime. As a development manager, this was a big red flag because uploading files had become a hindrance and time-consuming away from other purposes. Incentivized Lakshya Kashyap Software Engineer Read full review	SmartBear To my opinion Swagger Open Source is a very good tool to quickly produce an api documentation, that how I use it.Swagger can also produce an open api file to generate an api for our application server (Inersystems Iris) but we don't use this functionality for now. We plan to use more Swagger features in the future. Incentivized Pierre LAFAY CEO Read full review
Pros	Filestack Digital Asset Management Seamless Integration into WYSIWYG Editor Asset Size Restrictions Incentivized William (Matt) Wood Sales Engineer Read full review	SmartBear Produce documentation user interface to create api definition reusability of data description Incentivized Pierre LAFAY CEO Read full review
Cons	Filestack Tricky to navigate at first No dashboard for the file conversion Their script download used to fail on occasion Incentivized Lakshya Kashyap Software Engineer Read full review	SmartBear for me the UI can be more simple too many functionnalities when just want to produce doc, can be a separate app A french documentation will be apreciated Incentivized Pierre LAFAY CEO Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Filestack Ease of integration [was] that we had developers who were familiar with implementing Filestack. It also decreased the dependency and load of our Developers since the implementation instructions are fairly straightforward. Filestack is excellent at what it does (asset management) and Cloudinary/Akamai is primarily used to serve content and decrease latency as CDNs. Incentivized William (Matt) Wood Sales Engineer Read full review	SmartBear We use swagger only to generate the API documentation, for testing the APIs, we use Postman. We don't find an other tools for producing API documentation in web pages and also in pdf files. Postman is a good complement for testing APIs on InterSystems IRIS (a powerful application server and DB manager) which implements these APIs. Incentivized Pierre LAFAY CEO Read full review
Return on Investment	Filestack Ease of implementation Software works flawlessly Multiple Gateways Incentivized Lakshya Kashyap Software Engineer Read full review	SmartBear Less time to produce our documentation Documentation can be accessed online, this is a plus for our customers and partners Great tools to communicate with other project actors Incentivized Pierre LAFAY CEO Read full review
