Mashape's Kong API cloud support is great.

What do you like best? I love the versatility of Kong. It pretty much will run on any platform and the price point from my understanding isn't that much as well. Great for all types of businesses.

It will makes sense far more intuitive. Recommendations to others considering the product You should consider evaluating other API Gateway ...
