Setting up OSS version of the Gatway manager

What do you like best about the product?
I love using the Kong API Gateway because it allows us to make secure connections and allows us to protect the different applications we use against known bad actors attacks like DDoS. It also allow us to configure in a seamless way, different consumers to allows service consumption and usage of different access points accross out cloud services. Another great advantage is that the Kong API Gateway allow us to program different applicatins that make a lot of the parameters used in different plugins configurable on demand, which means that by simply using its REST API we can configure different profile and create consumers as any user wants to define it. All in all, the Kong gateway allow us to configure different users as consumers, it allow us to configure multiple different protocol sorts and payloads, it has a very complete way of doing rerouting and port forwarding, it makes it easy to redirect requests and it is also great that we can also make different API gateways configurable via Kong KONNECT.
What do you dislike about the product?
I am yet to find out something that I dislike about the Kong Gateway. It is a very robust gateway that never failed. Having sais that, if I am force to say something that still feels different when interpreting logs is the usage of LUA scripts, to which not many people have experience working with, but that on its own has never been an actual issue.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Is helping us to solve for the most part, security and rerouting issues. It also allows us to configure user profiles on demand via a custom application we have created.

Kong API Gateway experience so far

  • May 31, 2024
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The way it works and how routing is easily managed by the api. I am using the Kong API Gateway as an Ingress and a stand-alone gateway in which both setups are easy to integrate either with helm, manifests, standalone or with etcd datastore. I am not using support but usually find most of the things I need in the docs or forums.

The kong API and Ingress is something that I use and trust every day.
What do you dislike about the product?
When I started using Kong API the documentation was pretty hard to understand, I think that it was reworked and now it's a bit easier to understand.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
HA Routing and security for micro-services.

What do you like best about the product?
It is a fast and flexible cloud native gateway that offers too many premium services. It has very strict policy about who can access the the data and services that are managed behind it. It's data security is good, only authorised users can access the data.

It is very difficult to setup the implementation, if you are a new user,then you will face too many difficulty. It's customer support is supportive but can't solve your all issues.

It is very premium and trusted open source API, It ensures our data security by allowing access to the only authorised users. It maintains high availability and good performance.
