What do you like best about Kong Gateway?
The software is very easy to implement. We use docker on a linux VM. The Kong API gateway is easily configurable for defining services and routes. We take advantage of both basic authorization and key authorization for our security needs. The API gateway is used for both production and non-production environments. We have had some needs for support. We have found that customer support is quick in responding to tickets to help us resolve the issue or question. We recently started using Konnect to control our configurations for easier data plane management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike about Kong Gateway?
The one thing that we don't really like is the UI and the filtering ability. The filter feature is good. But, feel that the filter should stay in place until you change it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Kong Gateway?
What I like most about Kong is its ease of use and configuration. There are countless plugins for various use cases, including different types of authorization like OAuth2, SAML, and OIDC. Additionally, there is an admin API and a Kong Manager UI, which make it easy to view configurations for each service, route, and plugin individually. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike about Kong Gateway?
I find it frustrating that there isn't a clear way to view metrics like latency in Kong. Recently, we had an issue with one of our upstream services, and it would have been helpful to see Kong analytics to identify which endpoint had problems or which plugins were causing issues. Observability in Kong needs improvement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Kong Gateway?
Kong's Enterprise API Gateway allowed us to deliver a high performance, scalable and low-maintenance API management platform to serve our microservice ecosystem. It also helped reducing the time-to-market of new features and applications, thanks to internal tools we created that leverage Kong's RESTful admin API used to configure routes and upstream "as a service"."
