Awesome product

  • April 28, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Kong API gateway is an excellent product. It has many features that qualify it as the most trusted gateway. The thing which I like the most about this product is its beginner-friendly structure which makes it quite simple for first-timers to use it. Apart from that, the variety of features acts as a cherry on the cake.
What do you dislike about the product?
Although the API is good, it lends it down is its customer support. Dealing with connection-related issues can be cumbersome due to its poor customer service. I'd be happier if it's improved a little bit.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I personally use it to manage multiple APIs and services required in my organization. Also, after using it for a while, I love the user interface and accessibility features that the product provides to the consumer.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would recommend this product to my colleagues and ask them to use it in implementing micro-services in their startups and business ventures.

It's easy to use and it's packed with features

  • February 24, 2022
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like the ability to configure services, routes, and plugins through Kong Manager. I also like how developers can use the Dev Portal to create and manage API credentials. I was most impressed with the feature of developing custom plugins using Kong PDK and Lua.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wouldn't say I liked that it was troublesome to create unit tests for the custom plugins. When we started using Kong Gateway, it was also not simple to have automated integration tests. It's not immediately clear how to retrieve graphic results from the Kong Vitals feature for requests that occurred more than 12 hours ago (I don't know if it is possible, we're using Kong 2.1.3.1).

The migration process from Kong version 0.35 to 2.1.3.1 was unexpectedly complicated.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're providing secure access to our company's microservice APIs. We can manipulate incoming requests to identify users, provide additional information and perform necessary processing before reaching upstream services. We can also provide monitoring and troubleshooting support regarding microservice traffic. The most significant benefit is the ease of configuration via bundled and custom plugins.
