"Reliable gateway that brought order to 1,000’s of APIs"

5/5

What do you like best about Tyk?

We were looking for a platform that handles AI and API workloads. We moved about 140 internal and partner APIs onto the Tyk Gateway over six months. What I like most is how much we can do declaratively — rate limits, quotas and JWT auth are set per API in config we keep in Git, so changes go through the same review as our code. Latency overhead has been negligible for our traffic (we measured low single-digit milliseconds at p95). The Developer Portal also cut partner onboarding from a ticket-and-wait process to self-service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Tyk?

The learning curve on advanced policy and plugin configuration was steeper than we expected — the docs cover the common cases well, but we needed support's help for a couple of edge cases around custom Go plugins. Planning major-version upgrades also takes care across multiple environments. Support was responsive when we raised both, but better worked examples for complex set-ups would help.

What problems is Tyk solving and how is that benefiting you?

We’re building cutting edge AI infrastructure for a global financial institution. Before Tyk, each team secured and exposed its own APIs, so auth, logging and rate limiting were inconsistent and audits were painful. Now every API goes through one gateway with standard policies, which gives our security team a single place to check. Partner integrations that took three to four weeks to set up now take a few days, and we've retired home-grown proxies we were maintaining. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
