Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Google, Amazon Web Services (AWS) and others in API Management."Kong Enterprise has excellent plugin support."
"Kong Enterprise comes with some ready plug-ins, which is very good for the customers."
"The most valuable feature of Kong Enterprise is its capability to integrate with various security tools."
"The most valuable features of Kong Enterprise are the out-of-the-box open source easy functionality."
"There are a few features that I like about Kong when it comes to authentication and authorization. Specifically, being able to use Kong for role-based access control (RBAC), and then further being able to integrate the RBAC mechanism with our enterprise directory, was very useful."
"The tool's scalability is good...The solution's technical support is good."
"We use the solution for load-balancing, caching, and rate-limiting APIs."
"Protocol transformation is the most valuable feature of Kong Enterprise."
"The most valuable features for us are security and centralization."
"It is very secure, easy to manage, and easy to configure. It is a web-based API. Moreover, we get direct support from Oracle guys."
"The initial setup isn't overly difficult."
"The security, the authentication, and the publishing qualities are great."
"Kong Enterprise fails to provide live tracing of the APIs, which is possible nowadays."
"There should be an easier way to integrate with other solutions, even though it's the same API solution layer. Comparability will be a good improvement."
"The OS upgrades are not as frequent as they should be and they are bulky."
"Kong Enterprise has decided not to support the web portal feature anymore, but I think that feature should stay in the on-premises solution."
"The developer portal needs to be improved."
"The technical support team's response time needs to be improved."
"Kong is meant for north-south communications, so it will be interesting to see what solutions they can come up with in the realms of east-west communications, service-to-service communications, and Zero Trust architecture. I believe that if they can provide for these areas, then they will be able to solve the overall integration and security concerns for microservices architecture in general."
"We are facing issues with the solution's features like reports and traffic analysis."
"We'd like it if they could reduce the cost without sacrificing on features."
"Before gaining experience with the product, I found that it was not simple to use and things took longer to do than I had anticipated."
