Learn why customers gave Kong 5 out of 5 stars in their reviews
Kong is a very flexible, robust, and performant gateway. We deployed the gateway as a decentralized gateway that is accessible from various data centers but also provides connectivity across our data centers, including our cloud presence.
Kong is a great API Gateway that integrates very nicely in a Kubernetes setup. We gained significant operational efficiency improvements compared to our previous API Gateway.
Ratings provided are based on experiences captured on both partnership and operational coverage. Our organization has partnered with Kong to ensure that our demands surrounding API gateway management and governance are covered and well-defined. Without Kong, our organization's microservices, integragtions 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.
