"The best feature of Axway Amplify API Management is its exceptional level of security, which is highly reassuring, coupled with its remarkable capacity to handle substantial volumes of data in impressively efficient turnaround times."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is security."
"There are a few features that I like about Kong when it comes to authentication and authorization. Specifically, being able to use Kong for role-based access control (RBAC), and then further being able to integrate the RBAC mechanism with our enterprise directory, was very useful."
"Kong Enterprise has excellent plugin support."
"The most valuable features of Kong Enterprise are the out-of-the-box open source easy functionality."
"I like everything about it. It provides the security we need."
"The solution provides good performance."
"The route limiting feature is very valuable."
"The areas for enhancement should be improving certain filters within the solution. Although they are generally functional, there are occasional problems that could be more precisely adjusted. Additionally, the solution performs well within its workload limitations, but it may not be suitable for scaling up or managing a larger volume of transactions through the gateway. To address this, it may be necessary to adopt a unique architecture rather than relying on traditional pre-packaged options."
"Sometimes we find bugs where certain calls are not returning all the data we need."
"In terms of customer service, the company needs to be easier to contact, and the support team needs to understand the situation and the product itself better."
"Kong Enterprise can improve the customization to be able to do the integration properly."
"It becomes difficult if you try to scale it up to multiple clusters."
"The developer portal needs to be improved."
"Because it is open-source, it should be less expensive than others."
"We would like to see an automatic data API when we have a table in the database."
"Kong is meant for north-south communications, so it will be interesting to see what solutions they can come up with in the realms of east-west communications, service-to-service communications, and Zero Trust architecture. I believe that if they can provide for these areas, then they will be able to solve the overall integration and security concerns for microservices architecture in general."
