What their customers say
Quotes from people at Kong Inc.'s customers.
“I would absolutely recommend Kong to all tech companies out there, but particularly to any API first companies who are depending on APIs for their monetization. Kong will change the way you manage your APIs.”
“In our first Black Friday with Kong, we hit 28 billion requests – 11 times cheaper and three times faster.”
“Kong enables us to move fast without compromising on safety, and that’s critical in healthcare.”
“We’re not just maintaining a gateway. We’re part of how APIs are built across TELUS. The more we collaborated with teams, the more they trusted us and the more they saw we were helping them avoid problems before they happened.”
“The difference between tests and reality was massive,”

“We see too much — who owns the API, who consumes it, how often they’re calling it, what the payload looks like. We even see dead APIs,”
“We see what APIs have been onboarded, who's consuming them, how often they fail, how fast they're responding — and we can show you exactly where the bottlenecks are.”
“"Delivering new products to all five of our main platforms is so much faster now all we have to do is create the new API and deploy it to our API gateway so it can be consumed by our various front-end systems,"”
“"This strategy has led to significant cost savings while keeping our services secure and protected,"”
“"This was only possible using Kong Enterprise Gateway to manage and secure the connections from front-end to back-end services,"”
“"There are many systems that work together to provide pricing comparisons and quotes, verify the customers purchase via email and SMS, and allow them to use the interface to submit a claim. This used to take a matter of days but now, with Kong, it's instantaneous,"”
“"Kong's end-to-end API management platform provides us with the ability to digitally transform our business."”
““We use Kong Konnect for vitals, management, and the dev portal that exposes our APIs—all as a central platform for automation."”
“Kong has become the partner of preference for the GCash team, helping us develop a more stable, flexible, and dynamic API-first strategy that will have a positive impact on our business for years to come.”
“Partnering with Kong has truly transformed our journey at GCash. Through our collaboration, we've unlocked extraordinary outcomes and achieved remarkable results with Kong Enterprise that would have been unattainable using Kong Gateway Community Edition alone.”
“We've unlocked extraordinary outcomes and achieved remarkable results with Kong Gateway Enterprise that would have been unattainable using Kong Gateway Community Edition alone.”
“"We discovered that this new approach saved at least a week for developing each Lambda function because we have shifted security completely into Kong."”
““I'm quite happy to have a Lambda plugin available with Kong, because it really enables us to shift security responsibilities away from developers and integrate it directly in the API gateway,””
““We have a highly distributed landscape within Siemens… With this system, we are creating a governance layer where we can make sure that security is handled accordingly.””
“Kong is helping us get there faster with the right balance of control and innovation.”
“Ultimately, we want to be known for delivering secure, seamless, and customer-centric banking experiences,”
“As we move to the cloud, Kong has made it easier to maintain performance while scaling our services,”
“Now we’ve got one control plane, one governance model, and one developer toolkit—it’s streamlined everything,”
“We needed agility and control for our broader ambition of becoming a cloud-first, innovation-driven organization. That’s how we arrived at Kong.”
“We weren’t using a real gateway at that time, and we were stuck without a centralized control point to enforce policy or streamline workflows,”
“You can’t hit your customer satisfaction targets if your features are delayed. Kong has helped us eliminate those pain points.”
“We are strong believers that this will reduce the time to market and cost of development.”
“When people in our different product areas see us getting customers due to our API offerings, everyone wants to be there.”
“We need all products represented by APIs on a centralized platform and portal. And that’s where we’re heading,”
“We weren’t satisfied with the previous API platform we had. It was quite cumbersome . . . We evaluated about eight different companies. Kong was really what we needed.”
