Excellent OpenSource API Gateway

  • March 04, 2016
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The project is very well documented. I like the fact that Mashape released the API as an Open Source product some other could benefit from it. It's also a very valuable addition to the API ecosystem.
What do you dislike about the product?
Kong lacks a User Interface which I think might speed up the process of getting familiar with Kong. It will makes sense far more intuitive.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We were looking for an API Gateway solution which provided:

- Flexibility (we have more than two sources of users)
- Performance
Recommendations to others considering the product:
You should consider evaluating other API Gateway solutions (like Tyk) before moving ahead with Kong. Also keep in mind that should you ever need to develop a plugin of your own, it needs to be implemented in LUA.

Api Abstraction to the best

  • March 04, 2016

What do you like best about the product?
No worries about implementation, Takes very little time to setup and get things running. I was using way2sms api to send sms for my project work. I used their python library which was great
What do you dislike about the product?
I was a bit doubtful about the auth system. which involved sending the sms text, and login credentials as url parameter in the GET request.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I was trying to implement phone verification using sms
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I used a very small portion of serrvice that kong provides and i was pretty happy :)
