Kong enterprise and Kong Konnect review.
What do you like best about the product?
The software is very easy to implement. We use docker on a linux VM. The Kong API gateway is easily configurable for defining services and routes. We take advantage of both basic authorization and key authorization for our security needs. The API gateway is used for both production and non-production environments. We have had some needs for support. We have found that customer support is quick in responding to tickets to help us resolve the issue or question. We recently started using Konnect to control our configurations for easier data plane management.
What do you dislike about the product?
The one thing that we don't really like is the UI and the filtering ability. The filter feature is good. But, feel that the filter should stay in place until you change it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The gateway is primarily used as a security front end for routing to our services.
A powerfull and fully featured API orchestrator
What do you like best about the product?
A very powerful orchestrator to manage lots of API products and leveraging the full power of API Gateway, Service Mesh, Kubernetes and other related tools, easily m,anaged from a nice web UI. You can count with Kong support to make sure your API products will be successfull.
What do you dislike about the product?
Almost nothing, but the documentation could be a little more intuitive.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Kong Konnect allows you to easily manage sophisticated and complex API programs, involving multiple components necessary for modern microservices architectures.
Easy and Fast
What do you like best about the product?
Its very easy to configure. plenty of option available to run the data planes right from VMs to EKS etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing to dislike so far. its a new product and takes away a lot of complexies from on-prem Kong mesh/gateway platform.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Kong konnect for API Management. It very easy chose from a large number of ootb policies to protect and govern our APIs.
Most of our policies are around security i.e. Authentication and Authorization and QoS.

DevOps and Cloud Native API Gateway
What do you like best about the product?
Kong is a very high-performance opensource API Gateway particularly suitable for Cloud Native and DevOps Oriented architectures, it is suitable for installation on different architectures both in on-premise, cloud and hybrid modes. It is a complete product also includes Insomnia as an API Test and Designer tool and also, in the enterprise version, a Developer Portal also oriented towards IaC and the development of APIs from an API First perspective.
The hybrid installation via Kong Konnect is very quick and powerful and allows you to outsource all management except for the dataplanes which are installed on-premise and managed remotely. The on-premise version is easy to install. It can eb configured both via web interface and through a declarative configuration as well. In terms of support, the Enterprise version offers very fast and efficient support.
It supports native CLI tools to launch test and deploy configuration in your CI/CD pipelines

What do you dislike about the product?
Although it offers a rich set of plugins that easily integrates with tools like Prometeus, DataDog, Zipkin lacks an Analytics & Monitoring API tool. There is no management of Monteziation API.
For the Enterprise version the licensing model is a bit complicated because it depends on the number of invocations but also on the concept of gateway service, which is not always easy to keep under control.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Create a complete API Management platform that safely manages APIs, implements authentication and authorization and governance logics and which, in particular through automation tools, allows fast integration with CI/CD tools both in the development of traditional and in the development of APIs created on Kubernetes (via KIC Kubernetes Ingress Controller)
