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.
What a fantastic scalable stable gateway
What do you like best about the product?
Kong is a robust and stable tool that handles load without latency issues, as it is built on top of Nginx. It is also highly feature-oriented, offering thousands of plugins for various use cases. Recently it started offering saas based solution which we are testing now.
What do you dislike about the product?
As of now we couldnt fond any issues with product. Its support is the best.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Helps to build low latency gateway for our internal infra across the globe.
Robust solutions with wide array of plugins
What do you like best about the product?
What I like most about Kong is its ease of use and configuration. There are countless plugins for various use cases, including different types of authorization like OAuth2, SAML, and OIDC. Additionally, there is an admin API and a Kong Manager UI, which make it easy to view configurations for each service, route, and plugin individually.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find it frustrating that there isn't a clear way to view metrics like latency in Kong. Recently, we had an issue with one of our upstream services, and it would have been helpful to see Kong analytics to identify which endpoint had problems or which plugins were causing issues. Observability in Kong needs improvement.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps us to publish a diverse array of services behind a central gateway so that it appears coherent for all of our customers, both internal and external.

Setting up OSS version of the Gatway manager
What do you like best about the product?
I love using the Kong API Gateway because it allows us to make secure connections and allows us to protect the different applications we use against known bad actors attacks like DDoS. It also allow us to configure in a seamless way, different consumers to allows service consumption and usage of different access points accross out cloud services. Another great advantage is that the Kong API Gateway allow us to program different applicatins that make a lot of the parameters used in different plugins configurable on demand, which means that by simply using its REST API we can configure different profile and create consumers as any user wants to define it. All in all, the Kong gateway allow us to configure different users as consumers, it allow us to configure multiple different protocol sorts and payloads, it has a very complete way of doing rerouting and port forwarding, it makes it easy to redirect requests and it is also great that we can also make different API gateways configurable via Kong KONNECT.
What do you dislike about the product?
I am yet to find out something that I dislike about the Kong Gateway. It is a very robust gateway that never failed. Having sais that, if I am force to say something that still feels different when interpreting logs is the usage of LUA scripts, to which not many people have experience working with, but that on its own has never been an actual issue.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Is helping us to solve for the most part, security and rerouting issues. It also allows us to configure user profiles on demand via a custom application we have created.
Kong API Gateway experience so far
What do you like best about the product?
The way it works and how routing is easily managed by the api. I am using the Kong API Gateway as an Ingress and a stand-alone gateway in which both setups are easy to integrate either with helm, manifests, standalone or with etcd datastore. I am not using support but usually find most of the things I need in the docs or forums.
The kong API and Ingress is something that I use and trust every day.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
HA Routing and security for micro-services.
