Where Performance Matters

  • August 10, 2022
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Easy to configure services and routes and plugins in kong and several security plugins makes development handy.
Different flavours of deployment with kong like CP DP Model , Kong mesh and Kong Konnect and standalone on prem deployment.
Lightening fast routing traffic and plugin execution makes it best in performance.
Several policies with kong mesh makes the development handy.
Easy to integrate with the microservices and easy to implement custom plguins .
What do you dislike about the product?
Creating Custom Plugins using lua ,
forces to learn new technology,
Although kong has flexibility to integrate with GO and JS ,
Still I feel the performance is not similar
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Faster routing the requests across the microservices and the authentication plugins helps to remove the extra burden on creating separate authentication layer on top of microservies.

It is easy to use and we can scale the service as per the requirement also it is the most secured one for microservices and distributed architectures. Great performance too.

Nothing but the credentials are provided by the admin as we customers can't change them, and customer care support needs to improve.

The problems of microservice like load balancing, monitoring each microservice, fault tolerance and some other features also , need to explore other things too, as the requirement comes or need to see other things as of now as mentioned above I currently using.

Plugins can be made in multiple languages and some easier path for deployment can be made as it is hard to debug and test them.

Kong powerful API management service

  • August 09, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Kong can scale to the developer and user needs as applications grow. Although a bit of a learning curve can be expected, this outweighs the benefits of a flexible API solution.
What do you dislike about the product?
Kong has a learning curve if you are not familiar with API management and solutions. Also the use of Lua for plugin integration could be improved upon by provided developers the programming language of choice, such as Go or Javascript.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Kong allows secure API endoints to provide developers an interface to protected data either residing in the cloud or onPrem. This was useful while slowly migrating new applications and also provided a solution to legacy applications.
