From a cost and functionality standpoint, Tyk was an easy choice and seems suited to many different deployment environments. The UI and dashboard is beautiful and easy to use/navigate. Their customer support is top notch as well. > > **Cons**: The documentation for the APIs we needed for our use case were difficult to navigate and sometimes had gaps that required iteration with their technical team (though they were very responsive). At the time of our initial integration, it was not possible to programmatically pull usage statistics out of Tyk through public APIs, though I believe that has since been improved. > > It's been great working with them and their team. I appreciate how responsive they are to feature requests and have seen a number of issues/gaps we've seen addressed. Our integration with Tyk has been an overall positive experience. ----- ### "Nice solution but a bit pricey" — 4.0/5 > **Peter** | *6 May 2020* | Mechanical or Industrial Engineering | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: Initial setup took a while to get right. Once running it is fairly easy to maintain and update via the user interface. > > **Cons**: We started with the free plan and later upgraded to the pro plan. The tier definitions have changed and the prices are now quite high for our scenario. > > Tyk provides a nice solution for handling authentication between microservices. ----- ### "Love the product and where it's going" — 5.0/5 > **Ronald** | *23 April 2020* | Food & Beverages | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The product is just works. We've never had an uptime issue or weird application issues. The concepts behind the tool are solid. The framework for it also solid. > > **Cons**: There are a lot of parts and pieces to Tyk. I understand the need to break things part, but still to this day we haven't gotten Active Directory logs for the dashboard working. The tool was built for developers in mind, but not always for backend teams who are more focused in deploying applications and less in how they work. Documentation needs some love, it feels like there are more than a few versions and types. hard to work out what to do at any given moment. Also feels like I can never what options exist in the config. No single source of what things I can do. > > I love the product. It's really well built and the cost makes sense for our scale. All the issues I have with the software, are about polish. As you grow and expand your customer base, these are things to work on. They don't' detract from the value of what the tool does and where it's going. ----- ### "Light Weight and Powerful API Management with Tremendous Support" — 5.0/5 > **khalid** | *9 June 2020* | Logistics & Supply Chain | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Light weight, fast, very stable API Gateway, flexible with multiple installation package, easy to configure and setup, good product architecture design with multiple open source component, Easy and flexible developer portal with swagger, capable to integrate with logstash or other logging management, good product documentation, very good, good price and fast support response. > > **Cons**: Overall is very good API management software, hope they can enhance the Admin Portal to have more feature to manage the API and more analytic/statistic in the dashboard. > > Have been used Tyk for about 1.5 years, i've blown away with the product architecture where Tyk consist with multiple light weight component. Tyk gateway and redis is the key component for the good performance. I have many experienced with API management product, by far this is the best in term of flexibility, easier to setup, stability. Setup tyk with container is very easy and can done in minutes. I hope they can make more feature and integration to make the product better compare with existing in the market. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ae/software/171495/tyk?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ae/software/171495/tyk) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ko | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | | sv | | ----- ## Structured Data
