Kong: The easiest tool for managing a network

  • November 15, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Kong is a highpowered and highly customizeable Nginx service which has been given a lot of attention when it was being created. Kong has some of the best documentation of any application I've ever deployed. Kong also offers lots of options when it comes to configuration, setting up configurations is super easily with the provided DecK tool.
What do you dislike about the product?
Kong is just an application designed to get you to pay for the advanced featues. Authentication plugins should not be a paid for premium feature and should be available for all.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Microservices and endpoint management when done through Nginx raw configurations. Having simple configurations wich allow you to deploy services saves many headaches.

One of the Best API Gateway I have ever used!

  • November 14, 2023
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The flexibility and expansion of Kong API Gateway are among its most notable qualities, which I find particularly valuable. Kong has a feature-rich feature set that includes a large selection of plugins that may be easily integrated to customize the gateway to meet particular requirements. With our microservices design, this flexibility has been beneficial, enabling us to easily handle a variety of requirements including rate restriction, logging, and authentication. Another significant feature of Kong that guarantees it will always be a dependable and effective answer to our changing requirements is its capacity to grow horizontally with our API traffic.
What do you dislike about the product?
Although Kong API Gateway has shown to be an effective solution for our purposes in managing APIs, there are a few areas that might be improved to better the user experience as a whole. One thing to consider is the learning curve involved in configuring and setting up Kong, particularly for users who are not too familiar with microservices architectures or API gateways. Streamlining the onboarding process with more user-friendly tutorials or documentation could be beneficial.

Furthermore, while though Kong's community support is vibrant and beneficial, there have been times when it has taken longer than expected to find certain answers for particular use cases. To remedy this issue, more documentation and a wider range of community-contributed materials could be very helpful. It's crucial to remember that, in our opinion, Kong's advantages greatly exceed these tiny drawbacks.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have been able to smoothly install crucial functionality thanks to the gateway's large selection of plugins. For instance, our APIs' security has been much improved by Kong's authorization and authentication features. We've successfully implemented JWT validation, OAuth, and API key management, guaranteeing that our microservices are accessed safely.

Maintaining peak performance and dependability has become increasingly dependent on load balancing capabilities, particularly as our API traffic has grown. Kong's capacity to disperse incoming requests among several microservice instances has enhanced the system's scalability and resilience.
