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.

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)
