Kong is a 2023 Customers’ Choice in Gartner® Peer Insights™ Voice of the Customer for Full Life Cycle API Management

Kong

Today we're honored to announce Kong has been recognized as a 2023 Customers’ Choice in the Gartner® Peer Insights™ for Full Life Cycle API Management.

We believe this recognition highlights the trust and passion Kong's customers have for Kong's cloud native API platform to deliver speed and scalability, unleash developer productivity, and ensure security and governance

But hey — don't take our word for it. Here are a few highlights of what Kong's customers had to say:

Kong As Our Partner For Innovation And API Operations

"Without Kong, our organization’s microservices, integrations and deployments will not be able to interact across various and multiple API platforms which can impact the overall business portfolio and strategy from both operational and service delivery point of view. ” —Infrastructure Governance and Management Head, Banking

Next Gen Cloud Security Implemented Without Pain Using Kong Konnect

" . . . Kong has done a tremendous job of ensuring that our questions are answered, additional needed requirements are understood, designed and delivered through appropriate roadmaps as close to our need dates as possible. . . . we have forged a very strong partnership and look forward to deepening that relationship in the future.” —Technical Advisor, Finance (non-banking)
