Tyk Reviews & Product Details

We implemented an integration project with AWS Cognito that worked quickly and in which their support team helped us at all times. Additionally, the documentation on their website and all the videos they offer are very useful. They have many possibilities for securing APIs.

One of the standout features of Tyk API Gateway is its user-friendly interface. Setting up and configuring the integration was a breeze, thanks to an intuitive dashboard that allowed for quick and easy management of APIs, access control policies, and rate limiting. The overall user experience is excellent, Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One feature jwt token is missing. We have to generate jwt token outside and use it. Go lang plugin documentation needs to be little more precise. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Tyk is a versatile API gateway that stands out for its open-source version, which includes all the essential features required for modern API management. The advanced authentication options, such as OpenID Connect (OIDC), set it apart from other open-source API gateways like Kong. The extensible plugin architecture allows for customization of Tyk's behavior, and developers can write custom native (golang) and gRPC plugins. Rate limiting, quotas, and other features can be easily enabled by modifying API definitions and policy files. A complete list of features can be found on Tyk's Github page.

Another significant advantage of Tyk is its analytics feature. Tyk Pump, a component of the open-source version, can be configured to extract analytics from the gateway, which can be invaluable for tracking API usage and performance.

The Tyk community forum is another helpful resource for users, providing assistance and support when needed. What's more, the open-source version of Tyk can be used in production environments at no cost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While the open-source version does have a slight learning curve, it provides a fully-featured API gateway without any feature lockout. The API designer, which is a GUI tool for generating API definitions and policies, is currently part of the Tyk dashboard, but it is not a core feature. It would be great if the designer tool were also open source, as it would further enhance Tyk's adoption. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Tyk has provided us with a seamless API management platform featuring an API gateway, a user-friendly dashboard, logs, analytics and a dev portal. Tyk team helped us build a custom oAuth plugin to support some of our API feature teams who don't use typical authentication mechanisms. We have always received excellent technical support from Tyk consultants and valuable insights to alternate solutions whenever required within a reasonable turnaround time. Tyk team have massively influenced how we envisaged our API access control, monitoring and management capabilities and enabled us to build a future-ready, secure and scalable solution with measurable cost benefits compared to our existing gateway and aligns perfectly with our strategic roadmaps.

Just a one-off occasion where we had a few issues with inconsistent logs with a new Tyk pump version which impacted our business and had to be rolled back from production. Few questions were raised around product stability across different environment configurations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The tyk platform allows us a consolidated and secure front-of-house for our APIs, from the ultra modern,all the way back to our most legacy (20+y/o) APIs, and it works every time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We've not really experienced any down sides, there are more features available that we haven't yet had the time or resource to look in to using. There is a bit of a learning curve around policy and key management but Tyk are incredibly hands-on when it comes to additional support for customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Tyk does exactly what it promises with minimal fuss. It provides a stable, autoscaling api gateway/k8s ingress with all the modern functions you need, it works with kubernetes beautifully and gives us no issues at all, it just works. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not a lot, if anything it's the analytics provided in the dashboard and the dashboard itself. If you deploy infra as code you won't notice and if your sensible you will use tyk pump to push logging into elastic search or similar and use grafana anyway. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
