Key learnings from peers

Last updated Apr 2, 2024

Valuable Features

"Kong Enterprise comes with some ready plug-ins, which is very good for the customers."
"Kong enterprise has significantly enhanced our ability to manage and secure our Microservices. Its most valuable feature is monitoring."
"The tool's feature that I find most beneficial is rate limiting. In our usage, especially in the financial sector, we prioritize limiting API usage. This is crucial because we provide APIs to other companies and must ensure they adhere to their allocated usage limits. Without rate limiting, there's a risk of excessive usage, which could result in significant costs."

Room for Improvement

"Kong Enterprise has decided not to support the web portal feature anymore, but I think that feature should stay in the on-premises solution."
"The tool needs improvement in UX."
"Kong Enterprise needs to improve its pricing, which starts at hundreds of thousands of dollars. Pricing should be based on API usage rather than monthly. It should improve its documentation as well."

Pricing

"Kong Enterprise's pricing is reasonable for our company size."
"Kong Enterprise is cheaper than Apigee. I rate its pricing as four out of ten."
"Kong Enterprise's pricing is at par compared to the other technologies."

These insights are based on the in-depth reviews provided by peers to help you make a better buying decision.
