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."Kong Enterprise has excellent plugin support."
"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."
"The solution's technical support is good and fast in terms of responsiveness and problem-solving skills."
"It boasts remarkable speed and stability, and these qualities, particularly the gateway's resilience, are standout features for me."
"Kong Enterprise comes with some ready plug-ins, which is very good for the customers."
"The solution provides good performance."
"I like everything about it. It provides the security we need."
"It's easy to construct new interfaces like apps and client portals."
"I like the tool's scalability."
"Our use case is for integration factory for SAP. It is mostly for SAP integration."
"There's hardware, software and application integration, providing hosting flexibility."
"The solution is scalable."
"Oracle's self-service capabilities, of which we make extensive use, is the most valuable feature."
"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."
"Kong Enterprise fails to provide live tracing of the APIs, which is possible nowadays."
"From an improvement perspective, the product should offer more readily available connectors and also allow for more seamless AI integrations."
"The tool needs improvement in UX."
"The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Kong Enterprise has decided not to support the web portal feature anymore, but I think that feature should stay in the on-premises solution."
"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."
"Because it is open-source, it should be less expensive than others."
"The OS upgrades are not as frequent as they should be and they are bulky."
"The products, at the moment, are new and there should perhaps be support for the older version of the protocols."
"It is difficult to maintain."
"The solution's release management feature could be better."
"I am not satisfied with the solution because it takes too much effort to migrate and add new information. The migration could be easier."
