Excellent product and great people
What do you like best about the product?
The platform is very easy to use, has all right features and is very reliable. The people are very helpful and really easy to work with.
What do you dislike about the product?
There's nothing I dislike. It would be great to be able to add more sophisticated logic to mock responses.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
They provide our API gateway which handles policies and rate limiting and provides a developer portal. This saves us building these features ourselves.

A powerful, declarative API gateway gateway/ingress
What do you like best about the product?
Tyk does exactly what it promises with minimal fuss. It provides a stable, autoscaling api gateway/k8s ingress with all the modern functions you need, it works with kubernetes beautifully and gives us no issues at all, it just works.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not a lot, if anything it's the analytics provided in the dashboard and the dashboard itself. If you deploy infra as code you won't notice and if your sensible you will use tyk pump to push logging into elastic search or similar and use grafana anyway.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's entirely delivered our API gateway and k8s ingress needs simultaneously and allows the gateway endpoints to be deployed with the actual services as an ingress.
Most complete and feature-rich API Gateway
What do you like best about the product?
The APIs behind Tyk, enabling us to provision IaaC configuration for our API Gateways, without having to rely on ClickOps.
The onboarding process and the support we receive from Tyk Team are fantastic.
The onboarding process and the support we receive from Tyk Team are fantastic.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing to dislike in particular - documentation didn't cover some complex scenarios/setups, but Tyk Team has always been helpful and willing to provide guidance whenever needed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Consolidating our API Ingresses behind a single point of entry, improving the observability and monitoring of our Ingress Traffic.
Batteries-included api gateway with good support for cloud-native workloads.
What do you like best about the product?
The Kubernetes operator allows us to manage all configurations of our API definitions in git and deploy them alongside the relevant applications. This removes the barrier between our developers and production.
What do you dislike about the product?
The documentation can be a bit confusing for some of the operational aspects of running Tyk. In some cases, the documentation has been incorrect or missing entirely.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are building an API-first platform that external customers will consume. Tyk is providing a platform we can use to control access to those APIs via a performant, scalable, central place.
Complete API Gateway
What do you like best about the product?
Tyk has many features, like request manipulation and policy per role. You can create roles and assign access rights to a role by just editing JSON file. I think Tyk is a complete solution.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think learning is tough. It does not have good PoCs to learn. Documentation is hard to follow. There should be simple PoCs and tutorials. In this way, newcomers can implement Tyk in their projects faster.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We implemented stateless authentication by using Tyk. We created roles and gave access rights to them. When we create an API, we edit policy file to let specific roles send requests to the API.
Tackling Blockchain APIs
What do you like best about the product?
Blockchain has multiple APIs, and Tyk abstracted these complexities in a simple one-stop user interface that was super fast and easy to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing much to write here, maybe cost, but even that was scaled by the team relative to our volume.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The need to interrogate multiple systems, pricing oracles and transactions via a simple user interface.
Default choice for API Management
What do you like best about the product?
I have found Tyk to be easy to set and very reliable—particularly its uptime and p95 performance.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is nothing to particularly dislike about Tyk. API management can be a little daunting but Tyk makes getting started as simple as possible.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In one word: consolidation. Being able to deploy, scale and monitor APIs in one central place is simple and helps us be more decisive.
I'm an engineer / developer (as opposed to sales/management) and Tyk is easy to understand.
What do you like best about the product?
Extensibility, ease of understanding, feature-set
What do you dislike about the product?
Lack of clear documentation, not enough YouTube Videos
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Protect my APIs, enable adoption of OAuth for all my API authentication, speed of run-time, control over APIs that my company monetizes
Fantastic product, even better relationship and support
What do you like best about the product?
The tyk platform allows us a consolidated and secure front-of-house for our APIs, from the ultra modern,all the way back to our most legacy (20+y/o) APIs, and it works every time.
What do you dislike about the product?
We've not really experienced any down sides, there are more features available that we haven't yet had the time or resource to look in to using. There is a bit of a learning curve around policy and key management but Tyk are incredibly hands-on when it comes to additional support for customers.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Authh consolidation - we have lots of APIs built through various generations of technology and each comes with its own unique auth mechanism,tyk allows us to consolidate without changing underlying architectures.
Offloading of 'tedious' code.. there are a few examples of features that historically our developers would have had to implement within our api's which are now completely handled by tyk.. CORS, rate limiting etc.

Brilliant product from a company that really cares.
What do you like best about the product?
They really care about their customers and go out of their way to ensure their product is delivering.
Ongoing product Development has also been great with frequent new features which are always included and never held back behind a pay wall.

What do you dislike about the product?
I really don't have any complaints. I've hit the occasional bug but no platform is bug free, in all cases their support has always responded and helped resolve the issues promptly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Tyk has allowed us to better utilise our own API's standardising their consumption and ensuring a consistent security posture.
We've also extended Tyk to encompass external API's allowing us a simple way to build elements of external API's into our own.
