Although we switched from Proofpoint ten months ago, we still use Microsoft Exchange, deploying via another cloud provider.

Lead Software Engineer at a computer software company with 51-200 employees4.5I've used Kong Konnect for four years to route traffic and enhance API security; it's scalable, easy to use, and saves time, though the UI needs improvement. Support is excellent, and overall, it's been a great solution.
Assistant Manager at a government with 201-500 employees5.0I've used Kong Konnect for over three years as our API gateway; it offers strong security, scalability, and low latency, though I'd like built-in API alert notifications. Overall, it's stable, effective, and worth recommending.
IT Soulutoin Expert at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees4.0I use Kong Konnect as an API management solution for securing internal and external APIs, leveraging its hybrid deployment and centralized control. It's lightweight and well-documented but needs improved RBAC and a simplified licensing model.
