Friendly and powerful solution for APIs
What do you like best about the product?
What I like most about Kong Gateway is its ability to scale and manage APIs efficiently. Its plugin-based architecture allows for great flexibility and customization. Additionally, it offers easy integrations with existing systems and has an active community that facilitates the resolution of questions.
What do you dislike about the product?
The least useful aspect is that the learning curve can be somewhat steep for new users. The documentation, although extensive, could be clearer in some technical sections.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Thanks to Kong, we can now centralize traffic management, apply authentication, and rate limiting easily.

A lightweight, fast and scalable platform for APIs hosting
What do you like best about the product?
It has its roots in open source software
Its built on top of nginX - a world-renown reverse proxy
Its lightweight and expandable architecture - use only the modules (plugins) that you require
Its modular design is easy to understand and intuitive - learning curve is small.

What do you dislike about the product?
Out-of-the-box monitoring and observability support for which you need to buy their additional products.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We didn't have any API management platform and gateway. We started exploring options of which Kong community edition api gateway turned out to the most suitable candidate because it was light-weight, modular, fast and most importantly inherently scalable. We eventually ended up procuring the enterprise version of Kong. We primarily use Kong as a facade layer on top of our APIs that are consumed by multiple internal applications as well as by some third-party systems on a limited scale. it serves as a unified gateway for policing and monitoring all the API calls. It helps us authenticate and authorize API clients, enforce custom policies and functions via the modular plugins feature. One of the stand-out features is its intuitive interface that does not require steep learning-curve.

Kong Gateway:fast and flexible
What do you like best about the product?
We use Kong Gateway for its flexibility and ease of integration. One of the best features of Kong Gateway is that it is a powerful plugin architecture that allows us to easily add different features like security, logging, etc. Also, the ease of scaling is another feature I like. It can be installed across multiple nodes and clusters. Its performance under heavy traffic is authentic.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not many points to dislike, but one of the challenges we face is that the new users sometimes may feel overwhelmed by the complex configurations and wide range of plugins that are provided.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Kong Gateway addresses many crucial problems in our API management. One of the major challenges that we face is efficiently routing and managing API traffic across multiple services. Kong gives us a centralized medium to manage, source, and monitor API calls with ease. Secondly, Kong also ensures consistent security by providing a built-in plugin. This safeguards us from unauthorized access and potential attacks.
