The security, confidence and practicality that Kong gives me when managing my APIs in a simple and efficient way is a great point in its favor that this application has, its interface has a fairly intuitive design which allows me to navigate through everything the system without major problem, and the fact that it is also a responsive application is of great help to me to access the information from my mobile phone without major problems, the main dashboard shows me in a fairly summarized way all the data I need to perform my activities in a much simpler and more efficient way, in terms of performance the application is quite good, its customer service team provides a fairly complete service and in a fairly fast way, solving in a short period of time any possible error that could be presented Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Being objective, there is nothing I can complain about Kong, it seems to me that everything works perfectly and without any inconvenience, now, what one I would suggest is that they change the interface design for one a little more modern, which I think could add more functionality to the entire application.

Kong is a company that self-manages the progress and possibilities of the result for other companies, has a well-consolidated and justified API design, has tools for the protection of multiple threats and malicious viruses for our company, we have a communications panel, Prudent access control and formidable information traffic control.

We do not have system samples for long periods of time to test the software, nor less free versions that do not make your strategy system accessible to the client, it is considered that more information would be missing from the software and, therefore, would generate more confidence, and finally it has a slow interface but despite this well formulated and understandable.

Opensource, easy to setup and use and is full of features to meet our use cases and more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Still to early to tell for us, but the go-plugin server can be a pain to deploy. Good strides have been made to make it easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The plugins really improve the overall reusability of a lot of logic of the API gateway Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Kong plugins are lua based. I'd be much more happier if I was able to code those in as lightweight JS lambda functions Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Kong is wonderful if you enjoy Lua with Openresty and look to have an sll-in-one solution for API implementation and management. Lua is not as popular as it should be, but Openresty has proven performance and a strong community. For developers using either (likely both) technology, Kong is exciting and fun to implement.
Documentation is also spectacular. Many of the tools within their ecosystem is open source, and usage is free for smaller use cases. They are one of the biggest sponsors of Openresty, so the developer community is pretty active as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
While Kong is great for implementation of API's, a more manual implementation using serverless is usually the path most devs go for. Kong's use case is a bit too specific to bring over most modern microservice devs to the table. This really limits Kong to just large enterprise contracts which likely do not have as large of a consumer base due to the usage of Lua. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I love the versatility of Kong. It pretty much will run on any platform and the price point from my understanding isn't that much as well. Great for all types of businesses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It is good for small APIs but the moment I tried to connect to a big one, it immediately started blocking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
API management, with REST interface. Plugin oriented architecture means it is easily extensible. Huge support from open source community. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Have not encountered any problems yet with offering. If anything Kong is updated at very fast pace and that requires constantly trying to keep up with new release, If Kong Nodes are properly setup on docker containers behind Load Balancer like F5 then it becomes easy task.
