Highly Flexible API Gateway

Kong provide advance features, It works well in modern IT landscape in exposing microservice based apps & it can be scaled horizontally. It has Greater adoption and allows much better customization
What do you dislike about the product?
Kong currently provides lower Transformation support as compared to other Platforms and it also has Higher cost for implementing the Enterprise version. It also has moderate complexity while installing.

Using Kong API platforms, the deployments and API life cycle management are more Agile and easier to implement. In terms of performance, it works very well thus allows ease of mind
Kong API journey
What do you like best about the product?
The approach and vision/mindset put in action. Many API platforms follow the standard way to 'just' publish a way to call interfaces, but the architecture designed to fit on-prem vs cloud vs multi-cloud is something useful. The approach and vision moved from an idea into reality will be for sure followed by other traditional players that would reinvent themselves to follow what i believe would become requirements for many customers in the API journey.
What do you dislike about the product?
While the concept is valid and allows so many implementation scenarios, there is clear room for improvement in the way the solution could be introduced to customers. Startups or small companies looking for a way to pilot their strategy could find barriers in the limitations of SaaS version availability that is always a way to drive the final test before rolling out the solution at a corporate level. Also, suggest a few improvements in the way the solution advantages are presented and explained to customers to ensure the clear benefits of a new approach are perfectly understood.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With an API strategy, corporations can start to bridge the gap between legacy systems and new channels or platforms required to be more agile, flexible and easier to implement. Kong offers not only that but also the ability to have an API platform implemented by baby steps that is always a big advantage and solves many questions about 'what is needed to open ourselves into the external partner community'. These are some of the benefits and problems solved by the API strategy and using Kong as your partner.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Ensure you evaluate Kong when applying your API strategy due to their vision and approach in this space.
Kong - cost-effective API gateway
What do you like best about the product?
In addition to authenticating requests and enforcing security standards, the API Gateway may also load balance across backend services. In this way, Kong is a cost-effective solution. The system comes with hundreds of built-in plugins, but new plugins may also be written to meet specific needs.
What do you dislike about the product?
To create a custom plugin, Lua knowledge is required.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
One of our projects required an API gateway to act as a gatekeeper, and we were in the process of creating a distributed architecture. Kong Konnect offers a wide range of features, so that's what we go with. Also, this API gateway helps to simplify their client and server code by reducing the number of variables. Moreover, this programme is extensible via plugins.
Great product, fantastic support
What do you like best about the product?
Opensource, easy to setup and use and is full of features to meet our use cases and more.
What do you dislike about the product?
Still to early to tell for us, but the go-plugin server can be a pain to deploy. Good strides have been made to make it easier.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
For now, just api-gateway, JWT validation, OAuth2. Possibly AppMesh.
What we needed in a tool but with a little more.
What do you like best about the product?
AWS integration with many cloud tools...
What do you dislike about the product?
The setup was a bit difficult at times..
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Datacenter to AWS API gateway without the high bandwidth cost.
I find it something of great help to simplify my application development enormously
What do you like best about the product?
The security, confidence and practicality that Kong gives me when managing my APIs in a simple and efficient way is a great point in its favor that this application has, its interface has a fairly intuitive design which allows me to navigate through everything the system without major problem, and the fact that it is also a responsive application is of great help to me to access the information from my mobile phone without major problems, the main dashboard shows me in a fairly summarized way all the data I need to perform my activities in a much simpler and more efficient way, in terms of performance the application is quite good, its customer service team provides a fairly complete service and in a fairly fast way, solving in a short period of time any possible error that could be presented
What do you dislike about the product?
Being objective, there is nothing I can complain about Kong, it seems to me that everything works perfectly and without any inconvenience, now, what one I would suggest is that they change the interface design for one a little more modern, which I think could add more functionality to the entire application.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The fact that it allows me to manage all my APIs from the same platform in a safe, fast and practical way is something of great help to simplify my application development enormously, another point that they have in their favor is that in terms of performance everything works perfectly and without any additional inconvenience, in short it has turned out to be a very good option for all of us.
Kong manages and organizes my activities and operations.
What do you like best about the product?
Kong is a company that self-manages the progress and possibilities of the result for other companies, has a well-consolidated and justified API design, has tools for the protection of multiple threats and malicious viruses for our company, we have a communications panel, Prudent access control and formidable information traffic control.
What do you dislike about the product?
We do not have system samples for long periods of time to test the software, nor less free versions that do not make your strategy system accessible to the client, it is considered that more information would be missing from the software and, therefore, would generate more confidence, and finally it has a slow interface but despite this well formulated and understandable.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The design of our company is mainly for large companies, we work with implementations in the cloud, saas and web, which makes it easy for us to create, implement and manage large amounts of APIs in a single self-management platform for the Progress of our clients.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Is one of the best companies with client self-management software, sophisticated and even connects all its microservices with more efficient api platforms for greater ease of use, the little information it contains is almost impossible, as it contains several interesting points . of the company are not visible until consulting the company.
Highly flexible & de-facto gateway solution for enterprise-grade micro-services
What do you like best about the product?
The plugins really improve the overall reusability of a lot of logic of the API gateway
What do you dislike about the product?
Kong plugins are lua based. I'd be much more happier if I was able to code those in as lightweight JS lambda functions
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
A lot of microservices are being orchestrated seamlessly and securely via Kong and the fact that it is an opensource project makes it much more attractive option!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
While adding in custom plugins, make sure you do not integrate anything specific to a single or small subset of services. Try to make generic reusable plugins that can be integrated easily with other services.
Mashape's Kong API cloud support is great.
What do you like best about the product?
I love the versatility of Kong. It pretty much will run on any platform and the price point from my understanding isn't that much as well. Great for all types of businesses.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is good for small APIs but the moment I tried to connect to a big one, it immediately started blocking.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It manages multiple APIs at a very efficient way. I like the userface.
