Hello peers,
I am a System Expert at a medium-sized tech services company.
I am currently researching API Management tools. Which solution do you prefer: Kong Enterprise or 3sce API Management? What are the pros and cons of each solution?
Thank you for your help.
Both Kong Enterprise and 3scale API Management can help you manage your APIs, but there are key differences that would help you make your choice between the two solutions:
Kong Enterprise is an open-source API gateway you can deploy in the cloud or on-premises. It is known for its scalability and flexibility, plus it offers a variety of features, including API traffic management, security, and analytics.
3scale API Management is a cloud-based API management solution known for its ease of use and integration with other cloud-based services. It also offers many features, including API traffic management, security, and monetization.
Below is a table that summarizes the key differences between Kong Enterprise and 3scale API Management:
