Kong
What do you like best about the product?
I really like how lightweight Kong Gateway is. It doesn't hog your system resources at all, which is a huge plus. Even if you're working on a laptop or a machine that's not super powerful, Kong runs just fine without slowing things down. You don't need some beefy server setup to get it going, which makes life a lot easier when you're just trying to get work done.
What do you dislike about the product?
Overall, Kong Gateway is pretty solid, but the documentation could use some work. When I was getting started, I found the initial setup instructions a bit confusing. It would be awesome if they had more beginner-friendly tutorials or step-by-step guides that walk you through the basics. Maybe some video walkthroughs or real-world examples would help new users get up and running faster without having to dig through forums or Stack Overflow.

Kong can scale to the developer and user needs as applications grow. Although a bit of a learning curve can be expected, this outweighs the benefits of a flexible API solution.

Kong has a learning curve if you are not familiar with API management and solutions. Also the use of Lua for plugin integration could be improved upon by provided developers the programming language of choice, such as Go or Javascript.

Kong allows secure API endoints to provide developers an interface to protected data either residing in the cloud or onPrem. This was useful while slowly migrating new applications and also provided a solution to legacy applications.
