We evaluated a handful of APIM solutions and Tyk ended up as our clear favourite. Here are a couple of points which to us made Tyk stand out over other solutions:
- Truely On-Premise and open source option without any "phone home mechanisms" (other vendors tend to push their Cloud/Hybrid solutions)
- Very easy to set up on Kubernetes
- Excellent choices of technologies which fit our existing tech stack (e.g. Postgres, Keycloak, Redis)
- Config as code ("Tyk Operator")
- Portal highly customizable via custom themes
- Well designed and intuitive UI (we found other solutions to often have overloaded UIs and/or a worse UX)
- Fair pricing
- Amazing communication and interactions with Tyk people, highly professional processes and materials
- In general a very well thought out solution Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
During our setup process we found parts of the Helm/Kubernetes documentation to not be entirely exhaustive, however the Tyk team was very quick to help us with any questions we had Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
