Tyk API Management Platform Reviews

Tyk is an open-source platform that also supports identity providers with custom middleware solutions.

More documentation needs to get added from the point of view of a developer

We did a proof of concept (POC) with an open source gateway solution to test a multi-tenant solution. The API was built in Node.js, and Keykloak was used as identity provider.

We implemented an integration project with AWS Cognito that worked quickly and in which their support team helped us at all times. Additionally, the documentation on their website and all the videos they offer are very useful. They have many possibilities for securing APIs.

One of the standout features of Tyk API Gateway is its user-friendly interface. Setting up and configuring the integration was a breeze, thanks to an intuitive dashboard that allowed for quick and easy management of APIs, access control policies, and rate limiting. The overall user experience is excellent,

The web interface is not included in the opensource version, although they offer temporary licenses for its use.

Tyk API Gateway simplified the task of API management and security configurations

Tyk is Open Source, Tyk is Cost-Effective, Scalable and Performance ...

All It´s nice, why dislike?, Tyk is faster, more affordable, is more usable

and more highly rated by users.

In summary, Tyk addresses the challenges associated with API management, security, and scalability. It empowers organizations to effectively manage, secure, and optimize their APIs, leading to improved reliability, security, and efficiency, which ultimately benefits the organization as a whole.

Tyk is great when it comes to customer service. The response time is really fast and it doesn't take a long time for them to resolve even the most complex of issues.

It can be a little complex to find the right documentation.

Tyk makes API design and management really easy which makes us not worry about that part of the work.

The support has been first-class, attentive and responsive to our needs.

There is nothing that our organization disliked.

Works well for our business case, straightforward and reliable.

TYK is a very easy to set up and configure solution. It meets the most common needs of our customers.

Support is always very responsive and the TYK team is always looking for new features to add to its roadmap.

No cloud hosting offer on GCP only available on AWS. GCP hosting is self-build

The TYK solution accelerates the modernisation of services by moving from SOAP to REST without having to rewrite all the old services first

Tyk is a versatile API gateway that stands out for its open-source version, which includes all the essential features required for modern API management. The advanced authentication options, such as OpenID Connect (OIDC), set it apart from other open-source API gateways like Kong. The extensible plugin architecture allows for customization of Tyk's behavior, and developers can write custom native (golang) and gRPC plugins. Rate limiting, quotas, and other features can be easily enabled by modifying API definitions and policy files. A complete list of features can be found on Tyk's Github page.

Another significant advantage of Tyk is its analytics feature. Tyk Pump, a component of the open-source version, can be configured to extract analytics from the gateway, which can be invaluable for tracking API usage and performance.

The Tyk community forum is another helpful resource for users, providing assistance and support when needed. What's more, the open-source version of Tyk can be used in production environments at no cost.

While the open-source version does have a slight learning curve, it provides a fully-featured API gateway without any feature lockout. The API designer, which is a GUI tool for generating API definitions and policies, is currently part of the Tyk dashboard, but it is not a core feature. It would be great if the designer tool were also open source, as it would further enhance Tyk's adoption.

We use it as an API gateway to expose our microservices running in a Kubernetes cluster. We have developed custom plugins to authenticate our APIs with our own API key store in MongoDB and authenticate users via OIDC with Google identity platform linked with Google Workspace. Additionally, we use many built-in features like rate limiting, quotas, and more.

Fantastic product, an easy-to-use self-service model with a great deal of knowledge on using and utilising the software to its best ability. We are a partner of Tyk & have successfully implemented this solution across Singapore & ASEAN. Looking forward to many more successful partnership years.

No complaints about Tyk at all. I am looking forward to seeing their growth over the coming years.

API management on AWS.

The platform is very easy to use, has all right features and is very reliable. The people are very helpful and really easy to work with.

There's nothing I dislike. It would be great to be able to add more sophisticated logic to mock responses.

They provide our API gateway which handles policies and rate limiting and provides a developer portal. This saves us building these features ourselves.

The APIs behind Tyk, enabling us to provision IaaC configuration for our API Gateways, without having to rely on ClickOps.

The onboarding process and the support we receive from Tyk Team are fantastic.

Nothing to dislike in particular - documentation didn't cover some complex scenarios/setups, but Tyk Team has always been helpful and willing to provide guidance whenever needed.
