Overall good with some small frustrations
What do you like best? I love how accessible Stoplight is to everyone in our organization. It has become an essential tool for planning and organizing our API - a tool that even non-technical people understand and grasp. I also love the hosted documentation - it fast and stable. What do you dislike? I come into Stoplight really used to the OpenAPI (swagger) spec. Sometimes it is really difficult to figure out how to do something with Stoplight that I already know how to do in ...

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.

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 ...

Great software to enable API Design and Documentation
What do you like best? Stoplight has a great interface for API design, documentation and then automatically generating a swagger spec. The service is great and the team is responsive to feedback. What do you dislike? We are on an older version of Stoplight and haven't gotten around to switching to the new version. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? Rapid, consistent API development and documentation.
