Tyk Reviews & Product Details

Its a simple gateway solution and it does its best at it . The support is good.. we asked for a feature request for an ldap authentication feature for dev portal and they implemented that in couple of days . We checked with Kong GW and they denied to implement it .We were able to seamlessly migrate from another GW too. Pretty stable and never had an issue in the last 4 years. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

setting up the GW using default settings is easy but a little tricky when setting up a production version of kubernetes . The support helped me to setup a kubernetes version but the documentation could have been better ..

Sometimes I observed that the latest version has features that dont work .. they need to do better in making sure all the previous features work in the new versions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1. Tyk has covered most of the required features of API gateway (like rate limiting etc).

3. Tyk community is very supportive. They answer questions quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1. It will be niced if the trial license for Tyk docker demo pro can be lengthened to like 1 month instead of 14 days. Think it will give more time for user to evaulate Tyk. (just my opinion). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For the most parts, Tyk support is helpful and resolve my concerns. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We are using the Gold support package, although Tyk managed to support us within the guranteed response time, but I usually got responses late in the envening which is off hour, so I needed to wait until the following day. Probably because Tyk support team has different working hours? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We implemented an integration project with AWS Cognito that worked quickly and in which their support team helped us at all times. Additionally, the documentation on their website and all the videos they offer are very useful. They have many possibilities for securing APIs.

One of the standout features of Tyk API Gateway is its user-friendly interface. Setting up and configuring the integration was a breeze, thanks to an intuitive dashboard that allowed for quick and easy management of APIs, access control policies, and rate limiting. The overall user experience is excellent, Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Tyk is a versatile API gateway that stands out for its open-source version, which includes all the essential features required for modern API management. The advanced authentication options, such as OpenID Connect (OIDC), set it apart from other open-source API gateways like Kong. The extensible plugin architecture allows for customization of Tyk's behavior, and developers can write custom native (golang) and gRPC plugins. Rate limiting, quotas, and other features can be easily enabled by modifying API definitions and policy files. A complete list of features can be found on Tyk's Github page.

Another significant advantage of Tyk is its analytics feature. Tyk Pump, a component of the open-source version, can be configured to extract analytics from the gateway, which can be invaluable for tracking API usage and performance.

The Tyk community forum is another helpful resource for users, providing assistance and support when needed. What's more, the open-source version of Tyk can be used in production environments at no cost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While the open-source version does have a slight learning curve, it provides a fully-featured API gateway without any feature lockout. The API designer, which is a GUI tool for generating API definitions and policies, is currently part of the Tyk dashboard, but it is not a core feature. It would be great if the designer tool were also open source, as it would further enhance Tyk's adoption. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
