Seamless integration and efficient security boost API management capabilities
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
The most valuable features of Kong Gateway Enterprise are its seamless integration with Kubernetes and cloud, many plugins that can be incorporated in a solution, and its incorporation with low-code function systems.Kong provides the ability to relatively fast change our development and DevOps scaling from on-premise API and managed APIs to a very good and scalable solution, which provides the ability to monitor and react to the API, making it more valuable and providing more benefits for customers.
What needs improvement?
More plugins for additional integrations would be helpful and openness for traditional development languages, such as .NET, because many enterprises are looking for .NET solutions or incorporating with .NET solutions. I mostly missed local resellers or partners that we could use within our enterprise, because it was difficult for some tech personnel to work with remote tech support.
For how long have I used the solution?
I am just a customer of Kong Gateway Enterprise from my former work.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The stability would be rated about eight, as it is mostly stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The scalability of this solution would be rated about eight or nine, and it would benefit if there was a little less latency.
How are customer service and support?
The technical support from Kong Gateway Enterprise would be rated about eight, as we missed local technical support.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
Before using Kong Gateway Enterprise, I used Azure API management.We switched from Azure to Kong Gateway Enterprise because we needed a solution to make API management on-premise and on cloud, and we did not want to work with Azure Arc, so we tried to find a solution that is possible to work with on both platforms, such as hybrid platforms.
How was the initial setup?
What about the implementation team?
Our deployment was done in-house, as it is a private enterprise and closed.
What other advice do I have?
I did not work with the AI capabilities of this solution, so I cannot measure it.Based on my experience, I would definitely recommend Kong Gateway Enterprise to other people.I would rate the whole solution about nine.
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.
