Excellent product and great people
What do you like best about the product?
The platform is very easy to use, has all right features and is very reliable. The people are very helpful and really easy to work with.
What do you dislike about the product?
There's nothing I dislike. It would be great to be able to add more sophisticated logic to mock responses.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
They provide our API gateway which handles policies and rate limiting and provides a developer portal. This saves us building these features ourselves.
A powerful, declarative API gateway gateway/ingress
What do you like best about the product?
Tyk does exactly what it promises with minimal fuss. It provides a stable, autoscaling api gateway/k8s ingress with all the modern functions you need, it works with kubernetes beautifully and gives us no issues at all, it just works.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not a lot, if anything it's the analytics provided in the dashboard and the dashboard itself. If you deploy infra as code you won't notice and if your sensible you will use tyk pump to push logging into elastic search or similar and use grafana anyway.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's entirely delivered our API gateway and k8s ingress needs simultaneously and allows the gateway endpoints to be deployed with the actual services as an ingress.
Honest rating and a short review

Relying company, with good products and overall support. Very responsive and proactive when dealing with defects or general questions. they also took into consideration the suggestions and new requirements that we had.

Nothing to dislike in particular - documentation didn't cover some complex scenarios/setups, but Tyk Team has always been helpful and willing to provide guidance whenever needed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Consolidating our API Ingresses behind a single point of entry, improving the observability and monitoring of our Ingress Traffic.
A strategic solution enabling modern day API gateway provisioning and management
What do you like best about the product?
Tyk has provided us with a seamless API management platform featuring an API gateway, a user-friendly dashboard, logs, analytics and a dev portal. Tyk team helped us build a custom oAuth plugin to support some of our API feature teams who don't use typical authentication mechanisms. We have always received excellent technical support from Tyk consultants and valuable insights to alternate solutions whenever required within a reasonable turnaround time. Tyk team have massively influenced how we envisaged our API access control, monitoring and management capabilities and enabled us to build a future-ready, secure and scalable solution with measurable cost benefits compared to our existing gateway and aligns perfectly with our strategic roadmaps.
What do you dislike about the product?
Just a one-off occasion where we had a few issues with inconsistent logs with a new Tyk pump version which impacted our business and had to be rolled back from production. Few questions were raised around product stability across different environment configurations.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Helping us move away from usage-based cost model and aligns perfectly with our strategic roadmap by providing a modern API management solution.
Batteries-included api gateway with good support for cloud-native workloads.
What do you like best about the product?
The Kubernetes operator allows us to manage all configurations of our API definitions in git and deploy them alongside the relevant applications. This removes the barrier between our developers and production.
What do you dislike about the product?
The documentation can be a bit confusing for some of the operational aspects of running Tyk. In some cases, the documentation has been incorrect or missing entirely.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are building an API-first platform that external customers will consume. Tyk is providing a platform we can use to control access to those APIs via a performant, scalable, central place.
Supportive team but may not be the solution for all use cases
What do you like best about the product?
The support team is helpful. We have management and technical support from Tyk for long-running issues.
What do you dislike about the product?
Tyk dashboards are limited and do not allow much drilling down. Often, we had to get the data from MongoDB to chart the data we needed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
NA, I am providing support to a client using Tyk API Management Platform; I am not the direct party benefiting from Tyk API Management Platform.
Ease of use
What do you like best about the product?
It is generally easy to set up and use straight away for simple POC or general use cases. But it does have intensive configurations for different needs as well. And more importantly, their gateway is open source, and you can know what they are doing. They do integrate with open source tools like jager, zipkin for tracing.
What do you dislike about the product?
Documentation wasn't their strong point, but it is improving now. Tyk Dashboard provides only simple analytics reporting; you need to pump the information into other tools to get more info about your APIs. Sadly their integration with cloud platform is not very deep, mainly just using them as infrastructure platforms, no integration with S3, X-ray, Secret Managers, etc.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Initially, the developer portal was bare and unable to use at an enterprise level. However, they developed an enterprise developer portal that provides more customization for enterprise needs.
