What do you dislike about Istio?
Istio should be compatiable with other ingress controllers , right now its only Istio gateway. Adoption is also very slow.
Moreover istio should come as add on to kubernetes cluster . More over managing istio is an overhead, app mesh from aws is better maanged solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
