Find out in this report how the two API Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Protocol transformation is the most valuable feature of Kong Enterprise."
"We use the solution for load-balancing, caching, and rate-limiting APIs."
"The solution provides good performance."
"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."
"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."
"This is a solid intrusion prevention system that combines a firewall and antivirus in a single solution."
"It boasts remarkable speed and stability, and these qualities, particularly the gateway's resilience, are standout features for me."
"I like everything about it. It provides the security we need."
"The connectivity that the tool provides, along with the functionalities needed for our company's business, are some of the beneficial aspects of the product."
"There's hardware, software and application integration, providing hosting flexibility."
"The solution is scalable."
"I like the tool's scalability."
"It's easy to construct new interfaces like apps and client portals."
"Oracle's self-service capabilities, of which we make extensive use, is the most valuable feature."
"Our use case is for integration factory for SAP. It is mostly for SAP integration."
"The OS upgrades are not as frequent as they should be and they are bulky."
"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."
"Kong Enterprise can improve the customization to be able to do the integration properly."
"There should be an easier way to integrate with other solutions, even though it's the same API solution layer. Comparability will be a good 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."
"Understanding the configurations and knowing what needs to be done can be a bit difficult initially."
"The solution should include policy features that are available in other solutions like MuleSoft API manager but missing in Kong Enterprise."
"The product's stability is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Rules engine processes and BPM processes should be improved."
"The solution's release management feature could be better."
"It is difficult to maintain."
"webMethods.io Integration's installation is complex. It should also improve integration and connectors."
"The products, at the moment, are new and there should perhaps be support for the older version of the protocols."
"I am not satisfied with the solution because it takes too much effort to migrate and add new information. The migration could be easier."
