I really like Kong Gateway's deployment flexibility. It can be deployed in various environments, whether on-premise, off-premise, or in the cloud. It's also appreciated how easy it is to configure services, routes, plugins, and consumers, making the whole setup process smooth and easy. Additionally, the gateway support team is very helpful, providing great assistance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think Kong Gateway could use some improvements in compliance with regulations like GDPR or HIPAA depending on the environment. It needs to be more compliant in those aspects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best about Kong Gateway is its flexibility and scalability. It handles high traffic loads efficiently, provides strong security features like authentication and rate-limiting, and integrates seamlessly with monitoring tools like Prometheus. Its hybrid deployment model makes it easy to manage both DC and DR environments, and the plugin ecosystem allows for quick customization without heavy coding. Overall, it’s reliable, developer-friendly, and simplifies API operations at scale. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

With Kong Gateway Enterprise, the overall experience is excellent. The only area I would point out is that certain advanced configurations can feel complex at first, and some features require deeper expertise to fully leverage. Also, upgrades and version compatibility sometimes need careful planning. That said, the strong documentation, enterprise support, and stability make these challenges much easier to handle Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate how with Kong Gateway, we can easily apply security for our APIs, which makes it very user-friendly. I like the interface of Kong Gateway for users because it's clear, and even a user who is new to Kong Gateway can easily use it. It's also nice that we can easily set it up with the help of the helpline. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are a couple of bugs and issues in the gateway Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Same as before. Could use some fresh looking UIs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its speed is incredible, and the performance doesn’t drop even under pressure. The best part is the complete control it gives you over security and traffic, which provides real peace of mind. On top of that, it adapts natively to any environment without any issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The first few weeks can be difficult to get used to if you don’t have prior experience. Another drawback is the price; the enterprise version isn’t exactly cheap. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
