Kong is a very flexible, robust and cloud ready plattform, an excellent choice for an API Gateway.
What do you like best about the product?
The OSS base for the product is great, and the documentation is pretty good too.
What do you dislike about the product?
Plugin customization with Lua adds the need to lear a new programming language. Of course you can develop plugins with Go or JS, but the performance is not the same. I also think there could be more community involvement.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The problems includes creating an automated pipeline (based on OpenAPI and using an API-First approach) to deploy and expose APIs.
The benefits are the customizations that are possible with Lua custom plugins and the fact that Kong is very Kubernetes friendly.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Start with Kong OSS and "feel" if your company needs Kong Enterprise. Also, consider using others tools from the Kong ecossystem like Insomnia and Kuma, because they have good integration with Kong API Gateway.

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.

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.
