  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Best features we liked about this gateway
-Feature-rich and easy integration with Microservices application, dockerized components
- Highly Scalable for growing business needs
- Versatile security features.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the downsides of this gateway
- Considerable learning curve and adoption.
- Plugins are available and custom plugin development is not very flexible
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helped us decouple of microservices architecture vai API design and allowed us to scale at individual component levels.

We now serve around 17 million customers daily on new applications driven by Kong Gateway.

What do you like best about the product?
The best thing that I like is the gateway API, easy and multiple options allow you to configure and be up and running in no time. I can only compare to ISTIO that I've used previously where the complex configuration made it a bit more time-consuming to set up initially.
What do you dislike about the product?
I've been using the container version of KONG, and maybe the only part that I dislike was that I needed 2 separate instances to handle internal and external NLB when running on AWS
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This resolved the complexity of handling and creating host addresses for all APIs that we are currently hosting. The gateway is the way to go to handle all different traffic coming in and out of the K8 cluster.

  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Kafka API Gateway is full of security and scalability features which were the main reasons we moved to Kong API Gateway. It is cheaper as well compared to Google API GEE and other API Gateway offerings.
What do you dislike about the product?
Kafka API Gateway needs further simplification. Also resource material needs to be improved. There are not many courses available which can be referred by learner.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is solving security requirements and allows me to add custom authentication which is difficult with other API gateway. Also, scalability is another advantage of Kong API Gateway.
