"The initial setup was easy - there was an onboarding document with steps that we followed."

"The feature I find most valuable is that this solution allows us to manage our security."

"An area for improvement would be to provide more information while troubleshooting."
"The caching capabilities are somewhat limited. This is more on the developer-oriented capabilities."

"They have an external developer platform that was a little bit painful."
"We would like a better tool for generating documentation for the APIs to be developed."
"We ran it for a while, but then we decided to move away from Tyk, because Tyk's cloud version, the SaaS version, has a significant limitation of limited flexibility, so you can't program very much."
"Sometimes when new features are released, they are not immediately stable."
"In terms of our usage, the main area of concern is that they tend to build enhancements slightly ahead of the considerations for what those enhancements and extensions are. So it could be slightly better communication with the customer base that would be my main issue with them."
"It is a young product and does not have the kind of brand recognition that would make it a more popular solution with our clients."
"I would like to see some additional features like having some extensions for .NET core because we use it for our back-end language."
