Great product, fantastic support
What do you like best about the product?
Opensource, easy to setup and use and is full of features to meet our use cases and more.
What do you dislike about the product?
Still to early to tell for us, but the go-plugin server can be a pain to deploy. Good strides have been made to make it easier.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
For now, just api-gateway, JWT validation, OAuth2. Possibly AppMesh.

What we needed in a tool but with a little more.
What do you like best about the product?
AWS integration with many cloud tools...
What do you dislike about the product?
The setup was a bit difficult at times..
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Datacenter to AWS API gateway without the high bandwidth cost.
I find it something of great help to simplify my application development enormously
What do you like best about the product?
The security, confidence and practicality that Kong gives me when managing my APIs in a simple and efficient way is a great point in its favor that this application has, its interface has a fairly intuitive design which allows me to navigate through everything the system without major problem, and the fact that it is also a responsive application is of great help to me to access the information from my mobile phone without major problems, the main dashboard shows me in a fairly summarized way all the data I need to perform my activities in a much simpler and more efficient way, in terms of performance the application is quite good, its customer service team provides a fairly complete service and in a fairly fast way, solving in a short period of time any possible error that could be presented
What do you dislike about the product?
Being objective, there is nothing I can complain about Kong, it seems to me that everything works perfectly and without any inconvenience, now, what one I would suggest is that they change the interface design for one a little more modern, which I think could add more functionality to the entire application.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The fact that it allows me to manage all my APIs from the same platform in a safe, fast and practical way is something of great help to simplify my application development enormously, another point that they have in their favor is that in terms of performance everything works perfectly and without any additional inconvenience, in short it has turned out to be a very good option for all of us.
Kong manages and organizes my activities and operations.
What do you like best about the product?
Kong is a company that self-manages the progress and possibilities of the result for other companies, has a well-consolidated and justified API design, has tools for the protection of multiple threats and malicious viruses for our company, we have a communications panel, Prudent access control and formidable information traffic control.
What do you dislike about the product?
We do not have system samples for long periods of time to test the software, nor less free versions that do not make your strategy system accessible to the client, it is considered that more information would be missing from the software and, therefore, would generate more confidence, and finally it has a slow interface but despite this well formulated and understandable.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The design of our company is mainly for large companies, we work with implementations in the cloud, saas and web, which makes it easy for us to create, implement and manage large amounts of APIs in a single self-management platform for the Progress of our clients.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Is one of the best companies with client self-management software, sophisticated and even connects all its microservices with more efficient api platforms for greater ease of use, the little information it contains is almost impossible, as it contains several interesting points . of the company are not visible until consulting the company.
Highly flexible & de-facto gateway solution for enterprise-grade micro-services
What do you like best about the product?
The plugins really improve the overall reusability of a lot of logic of the API gateway
What do you dislike about the product?
Kong plugins are lua based. I'd be much more happier if I was able to code those in as lightweight JS lambda functions
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
A lot of microservices are being orchestrated seamlessly and securely via Kong and the fact that it is an opensource project makes it much more attractive option!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
While adding in custom plugins, make sure you do not integrate anything specific to a single or small subset of services. Try to make generic reusable plugins that can be integrated easily with other services.
Mashape's Kong API cloud support is great.
What do you like best about the product?
I love the versatility of Kong. It pretty much will run on any platform and the price point from my understanding isn't that much as well. Great for all types of businesses.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is good for small APIs but the moment I tried to connect to a big one, it immediately started blocking.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It manages multiple APIs at a very efficient way. I like the userface.
Simple an easy
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use interface with tools to help manage all inventory.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some errors and kinks need to be worked out.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Tracking is easy but can be tricky
API Gateway for Lua Developers
What do you like best about the product?
Kong is wonderful if you enjoy Lua with Openresty and look to have an sll-in-one solution for API implementation and management. Lua is not as popular as it should be, but Openresty has proven performance and a strong community. For developers using either (likely both) technology, Kong is exciting and fun to implement.
Documentation is also spectacular. Many of the tools within their ecosystem is open source, and usage is free for smaller use cases. They are one of the biggest sponsors of Openresty, so the developer community is pretty active as well.

What do you dislike about the product?
While Kong is great for implementation of API's, a more manual implementation using serverless is usually the path most devs go for. Kong's use case is a bit too specific to bring over most modern microservice devs to the table. This really limits Kong to just large enterprise contracts which likely do not have as large of a consumer base due to the usage of Lua.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I found Kong looking for active products implementing Openresty. I assume 90% of kong's customers also do the same.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
serverless will be easier to hire developers for if you are looking for long-term implementations.

I’m solving data visualization tools
Best API Management Solution
What do you like best about the product?
API management, with REST interface. Plugin oriented architecture means it is easily extensible. Huge support from open source community.
What do you dislike about the product?
Have not encountered any problems yet with offering. If anything Kong is updated at very fast pace and that requires constantly trying to keep up with new release, If Kong Nodes are properly setup on docker containers behind Load Balancer like F5 then it becomes easy task.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
API Management. Logging, Analytics, Monitoring and Alerts. Supports several Authentication protocols. Plugin architecture means easily extensible and several options for any tasks for example for logging, you can use loggly/Galileo/Httpd(Elastic search)/Statsd(Graphite-Grafana)/Syslog etc. Huge support from open source community.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Absolutely the best solution out there. Tried several other offerings like Tyk, WSO, IBM, SAP API Management, API umbrella, AWS, Fusio, Apigee, ApiAxle etc before picking Kong
