The record

Purpose: WireMock simulates APIs and software dependencies so teams can test without those dependencies, simulate edge cases, and develop dependent features in parallel.
Request matching: WireMock can match requests by URL patterns, headers, query parameters, cookies, and request body content.
Response and fault simulation: WireMock supports Handlebars response templating and simulating network faults, delays, and malformed responses.
Record and playback: WireMock can record interactions with real services and play them back during testing.
Integrations: The project describes integration with JUnit and other testing frameworks, and offers Maven, Gradle, Scala SBT, standalone, and Docker getting-started options.
Protocols: WireMock Java documentation lists HTTP-based protocols and REST, with additional capabilities for WebSockets, webhooks, HTTPS, gRPC, and GraphQL.
Distributions: WireMock Java is distributed as a standalone JAR, Docker image, Helm chart marked experimental, and NPM package, as well as WireMock Cloud.
Cloud features: WireMock Cloud lists stateful mocking, versioning, team collaboration, SSO, role-based access control, chaos testing, Git sync, and test data import among its Enterprise features.
Security: WireMock Inc.’s trust center states that WireMock has attained SOC 2 Type 2 compliance and lists encryption in transit and at rest among its data security measures.
Support: The open-source project generally provides no support or guarantees under Apache License 2.0; users can seek community assistance, while WireMock Cloud Enterprise includes priority support with a guaranteed SLA.
Limits: The pricing page says free and trial plans are rate limited; when the API request quota is exceeded, mocks stop running until the next quota cycle.
Cloud trial: The pricing page offers access to the full Enterprise trial and a guided proof of concept, but does not state a trial duration.
Intended users: The pricing page describes the Free plan as intended for individual users and solo projects, and the Enterprise plan for larger teams or API volume.
