Ease of use and quick turn around
What do you like best about the product?
Its a simple gateway solution and it does its best at it . The support is good.. we asked for a feature request for an ldap authentication feature for dev portal and they implemented that in couple of days . We checked with Kong GW and they denied to implement it .We were able to seamlessly migrate from another GW too. Pretty stable and never had an issue in the last 4 years.
What do you dislike about the product?
setting up the GW using default settings is easy but a little tricky when setting up a production version of kubernetes . The support helped me to setup a kubernetes version but the documentation could have been better ..
Sometimes I observed that the latest version has features that dont work .. they need to do better in making sure all the previous features work in the new versions.

Good product and lots of documentation available
What do you like best about the product?
We implemented an integration project with AWS Cognito that worked quickly and in which their support team helped us at all times. Additionally, the documentation on their website and all the videos they offer are very useful. They have many possibilities for securing APIs.
One of the standout features of Tyk API Gateway is its user-friendly interface. Setting up and configuring the integration was a breeze, thanks to an intuitive dashboard that allowed for quick and easy management of APIs, access control policies, and rate limiting. The overall user experience is excellent,

A Comprehensive API Gateway with Advanced Authentication Features
What do you like best about the product?
Tyk is a versatile API gateway that stands out for its open-source version, which includes all the essential features required for modern API management. The advanced authentication options, such as OpenID Connect (OIDC), set it apart from other open-source API gateways like Kong. The extensible plugin architecture allows for customization of Tyk's behavior, and developers can write custom native (golang) and gRPC plugins. Rate limiting, quotas, and other features can be easily enabled by modifying API definitions and policy files. A complete list of features can be found on Tyk's Github page.
Another significant advantage of Tyk is its analytics feature. Tyk Pump, a component of the open-source version, can be configured to extract analytics from the gateway, which can be invaluable for tracking API usage and performance.
The Tyk community forum is another helpful resource for users, providing assistance and support when needed. What's more, the open-source version of Tyk can be used in production environments at no cost.

What do you dislike about the product?
While the open-source version does have a slight learning curve, it provides a fully-featured API gateway without any feature lockout. The API designer, which is a GUI tool for generating API definitions and policies, is currently part of the Tyk dashboard, but it is not a core feature. It would be great if the designer tool were also open source, as it would further enhance Tyk's adoption.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use it as an API gateway to expose our microservices running in a Kubernetes cluster. We have developed custom plugins to authenticate our APIs with our own API key store in MongoDB and authenticate users via OIDC with Google identity platform linked with Google Workspace. Additionally, we use many built-in features like rate limiting, quotas, and more.
Great solution, a real game changer in the world of API Management!
What do you like best about the product?
Fantastic product, an easy-to-use self-service model with a great deal of knowledge on using and utilising the software to its best ability. We are a partner of Tyk & have successfully implemented this solution across Singapore & ASEAN. Looking forward to many more successful partnership years.

No complaints about Tyk at all. I am looking forward to seeing their growth over the coming years.
