Internal API gateway has improved security frameworks and now provides unified API visibility
Reviewed on Jan 16, 2026
Review provided by PeerSpot
What is our primary use case?
My main use case for Tyk is for internal API gateway. For a banking customer, I have internal APIs and external APIs, where internal APIs are mostly on Kubernetes . For internal API gateway, we have developed some security frameworks within Tyk , which is how we use Tyk only for internal APIs. This setup is Kubernetes native, which is good, and even the custom plugin development for validating the token is something we use a lot.
What is most valuable?
The best features Tyk offers are highly customizable options, effective traffic management, and security, making it easy to configure and use.
The customizability of Tyk is evident in our validation of the token—specifically with our internal identity and access management. There were challenges on the network side and in managing token validity and the public key, but Tyk allowed us to configure these aspects effectively. I believe those are the standard out-of-the-box capabilities provided by Tyk that we are using, particularly regarding traffic management and security.
Tyk has positively impacted my organization by providing standard API management capabilities, such as a single view for all APIs, discoverability, and role-based access control for overseeing who can see which APIs.
What needs improvement?
Tyk can improve in terms of AI capabilities, and the developer portal could benefit from enhancements such as user onboarding workflows. The developer community could be better, especially compared to peers, and in terms of AI capabilities, I have not heard about AI plugins from Tyk, which most API vendors provide. However, apart from that, the basic API gateway capabilities are good.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Tyk for around three years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Tyk is stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Tyk's scalability is impressive; it processes millions of transactions for our internal APIs, and we have never faced any scalability issues.
How are customer service and support?
Customer support is excellent, and their support personnel, along with professional services, know the product really well, resulting in a good experience dealing with them. I would rate the customer support a definite 10.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We have not switched from Tyk.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
We evaluated WSO2, and the customer was using Azure Cloud before choosing Tyk.
What other advice do I have?
While we could not quantify any commercial improvement, developer experience has definitely improved.
I would rate Tyk around an eight on a scale of one to ten because I have worked with other API management platforms such as Apigee , Kong, and Azure API Gateway. Compared to Apigee or Kong, I find they excel beyond Tyk, which is the reason for my score.
Tyk is deployed in my organization on-premises. For another customer, we spoke with Tyk salespeople, and my experience is that they are supportive and share details effectively.
I think Tyk is very flexible and customizable for the internal API gateway, so I definitely recommend it. For external APIs, I would suggest using more mature tools. Tyk is a good product in terms of cost and deployment options.
My company has a business relationship with this vendor as partners. My overall rating for Tyk is eight out of ten.

A powerful and flexible API gateway for scalable architectures
Reviewed on Nov 24, 2025
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
Tyk distinguishes itself through its flexibility and the extensive control it offers over API gateways and traffic policies. I appreciate how straightforward it is to set up rate limits, quotas, and authentication methods, all without the need to develop custom middleware. The dashboard is sleek and responsive, making it easy to monitor API usage in real time.
Another significant benefit is its hybrid and open-source friendly design—you can deploy Tyk on-premise, in the cloud, or in hybrid environments, all without being tied to a specific vendor ecosystem. The documentation is comprehensive, and the platform handles scaling exceptionally well, even when managing a large volume of requests.

What do you dislike about the product?
Certain configuration sections may initially seem quite complex, particularly when dealing with advanced policies or managing multiple environments. The learning curve can be steep for those transitioning from more straightforward gateways, and some features are not immediately intuitive, often requiring a closer look at the documentation rather than being easily accessible through the UI.
Furthermore, the analytics module would benefit from having more built-in visualizations, as it currently depends somewhat on external tools. While these issues are not critical, there is definitely potential to enhance usability, especially for newcomers.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Tyk has enabled us to centralize API traffic management and standardize communication between our services across different applications. It addresses challenges such as authentication, rate limiting, and security, all without requiring us to implement custom backend solutions.
Additionally, Tyk has boosted our developers' productivity by making it easier for our team to expose microservices rapidly, all while ensuring consistent policies and governance are maintained. Its stability and scalability have minimized downtime and contributed to more predictable and secure deployments.

Effective API Management, But Complex Setup
Reviewed on Nov 21, 2025
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
I like that Tyk offers robust features for securing, managing, monitoring, scaling, and governing my APIs. One of the most valuable aspects is my ability to track who is using my APIs, which is crucial for maintaining control and insights into API usage patterns. This feature enhances my capability to effectively monitor and secure my API interactions, providing a significant advantage over other solutions.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find the setup and configuration of Tyk to be quite complex. This complexity during initial setup can be a challenge and may require additional time and resources to get everything properly configured. Initially transitioning from other products, the ease of setup could be significantly improved to facilitate a smoother onboarding process.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Tyk to secure, manage, monitor, scale, and govern my APIs, effectively protecting them while tracking usage. It offers robust API protection but can be complex in setup and configuration.

The best APIM solution we were able to find
Reviewed on May 19, 2025
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
We evaluated a handful of APIM solutions and Tyk ended up as our clear favourite. Here are a couple of points which to us made Tyk stand out over other solutions:
- Truely On-Premise and open source option without any "phone home mechanisms" (other vendors tend to push their Cloud/Hybrid solutions)
- Very easy to set up on Kubernetes
- Excellent choices of technologies which fit our existing tech stack (e.g. Postgres, Keycloak, Redis)
- Config as code ("Tyk Operator")
- Portal highly customizable via custom themes
- Well designed and intuitive UI (we found other solutions to often have overloaded UIs and/or a worse UX)
- Fair pricing
- Amazing communication and interactions with Tyk people, highly professional processes and materials
- In general a very well thought out solution

During our setup process we found parts of the Helm/Kubernetes documentation to not be entirely exhaustive, however the Tyk team was very quick to help us with any questions we had
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We wanted to provide an API portal to our API consumers, where we can offer documentation and API credentials in a self-service manner.

Tyk is very customised and user friendly .
What do you dislike about the product?
One feature jwt token is missing. We have to generate jwt token outside and use it. Go lang plugin documentation needs to be little more precise.
