User Testimonials
	Kong Konnect	Stoplight
Likelihood to Recommend	Kong, Inc Using Kong [Konnect]'s declarative settings, a user may control traffic, automate deployment, and maintain container-based software after it's deployed. In addition, it handles the whole lifecycle of service management. Installation, management, and operation of Kong [Konnects]'s cloud-native connection runtimes may be performed in any cloud or Kubernetes provider environment, as well as on-premises environments. In order to optimise their services and transactions, users may keep track of their services and transactions in real-time via real-time monitoring. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Stoplight API mocking, testing, and sharing are all built in functions for StopLight that work quite well. They even have functionality for generating OAI and RAML code as well, which is a huge plus. AS for as areas where StopLight is not appropriate, if you're doing anything other than API testing, StopLight may not be appropriate for use. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	Kong, Inc Application orchestration Error tracing Analyzing traffic Load balancing Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Stoplight OpenAPI support Markdown supports Git integration Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	Kong, Inc Community support Sample projects for easy integration Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Stoplight Simplicity of set up. Although it's not difficult, there are tools out there that are easier to set up for testing endpoints. Again, it's perfectly functional, but some competitors I think have a more user friendly UI to them. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Kong, Inc No answers on this topic	Stoplight I'd like to also throw Runscope and Fiddler into the mix. Between StopLight and all these competitors, we've chosen StopLight primarily for the support, ease of use, and reliability. Most tools out there today are top-notch, so it really comes down to personal preference and different use-cases. Having used other API testing frameworks, StopLight definitely stacks up against the competition. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
