What do you dislike about the product?
Overall, I have almost no criticisms. In some cases, the documentation could be more precise or more detailed. In the case of more complex architectures, the examples in the documentation could be presented more specifically.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Kong API Gateway establishes an additional security layer that can secure access to applications both technically and professionally. With the appropriate plugins, the development of authorization and authentication functionality is completely relieved. Kong offers excellent routing functionalities, which enable a quick exchange of API versions, or make a canary deployment possible. Last but not least, Kong's Developer Portal offers a great way to present your API specifications in a great way.

Awesome product
What do you like best about the product?
Kong API gateway is an excellent product. It has many features that qualify it as the most trusted gateway. The thing which I like the most about this product is its beginner-friendly structure which makes it quite simple for first-timers to use it. Apart from that, the variety of features acts as a cherry on the cake.

Although the API is good, it lends it down is its customer support. Dealing with connection-related issues can be cumbersome due to its poor customer service. I'd be happier if it's improved a little bit.
