Awesome product
What do you like best about the product?
Kong API gateway is an excellent product. It has many features that qualify it as the most trusted gateway. The thing which I like the most about this product is its beginner-friendly structure which makes it quite simple for first-timers to use it. Apart from that, the variety of features acts as a cherry on the cake.
What do you dislike about the product?
Although the API is good, it lends it down is its customer support. Dealing with connection-related issues can be cumbersome due to its poor customer service. I'd be happier if it's improved a little bit.

A powerful product of API gateway
What do you like best about the product?
Its powerful and comprehensive features on API management.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are not enough online resources for the complicated scenario-based demo or troubleshooting.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

It's easy to use and it's packed with features
What do you like best about the product?
I like the ability to configure services, routes, and plugins through Kong Manager. I also like how developers can use the Dev Portal to create and manage API credentials. I was most impressed with the feature of developing custom plugins using Kong PDK and Lua.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wouldn't say I liked that it was troublesome to create unit tests for the custom plugins. When we started using Kong Gateway, it was also not simple to have automated integration tests. It's not immediately clear how to retrieve graphic results from the Kong Vitals feature for requests that occurred more than 12 hours ago (I don't know if it is possible, we're using Kong 2.1.3.1).
The migration process from Kong version 0.35 to 2.1.3.1 was unexpectedly complicated.
The migration process from Kong version 0.35 to 2.1.3.1 was unexpectedly complicated.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're providing secure access to our company's microservice APIs. We can manipulate incoming requests to identify users, provide additional information and perform necessary processing before reaching upstream services. We can also provide monitoring and troubleshooting support regarding microservice traffic. The most significant benefit is the ease of configuration via bundled and custom plugins.
Highly Flexible API Gateway

Kong currently provides lower Transformation support as compared to other Platforms and it also has Higher cost for implementing the Enterprise version. It also has moderate complexity while installing.

Using Kong API platforms, the deployments and API life cycle management are more Agile and easier to implement. In terms of performance, it works very well thus allows ease of mind

I’m solving data visualization tools
Excellent OpenSource API Gateway
What do you like best about the product?
The project is very well documented. I like the fact that Mashape released the API as an Open Source product some other could benefit from it. It's also a very valuable addition to the API ecosystem.
What do you dislike about the product?
Kong lacks a User Interface which I think might speed up the process of getting familiar with Kong. It will makes sense far more intuitive.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We were looking for an API Gateway solution which provided:
- Flexibility (we have more than two sources of users)
- Performance
- Flexibility (we have more than two sources of users)
- Performance
Recommendations to others considering the product:
You should consider evaluating other API Gateway solutions (like Tyk) before moving ahead with Kong. Also keep in mind that should you ever need to develop a plugin of your own, it needs to be implemented in LUA.
