Find out in this report how the two Application Delivery Controllers (ADC) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Security and monitoring for high-performance applications are some of the top features."
"The most valuable feature of Amazon Elastic Load Balancing is scaling."
"The solution is very well integrated into Amazon's services."
"The solution offers good load balancing."
"It has very good features. It is very configurable. Security with TLS, et cetera is also very easy."
"It is straightforward to deploy."
"It is a very scalable solution in which you can add more servers instantly."
"Amazon Elastic Load Balancing transfers the data securely from servers to users and splits the traffic based on peak times."
"I find Application Gateway’s WAF module valuable because it helps prevent layer 7 attacks."
"It is a scalable solution...The installation phase of Microsoft Azure Application Gateway is very easy."
"The most valuable feature is WAF."
"The health probe is pretty good for your backend health. It tells you whether it's communicating and talking to the endpoint correctly. It is quite useful."
"In my experience, Microsoft products have a smooth integration and facilitate easy management and monitoring. Using Azure Application Gateway allows us to efficiently handle the system loads."
"The solution was very easy to configure. It wasn't hard at all to adjust it to our needs."
"The pricing is quite good."
"The most valuable features of Microsoft Azure Application Gateway are the policies, the data store they are using, and the cloud platform it operates on."
"They should improve the solution's pricing."
"One issue that we faced with ALB was that leaf-level certificate validation was not happening. It is not that user-friendly in that aspect."
"It would be good if we had a product that integrates well with third-party vendors. Some of our customers want a multi-cloud solution. They don't want to be tied up to or be in just one cloud."
"The solution needs to guarantee stability because multiple loads behind a load balancer can cause service unavailability."
"The product's stability is an area with a slight shortcoming, which can be improved."
"The machines created by Amazon Elastic Load Balancing have different IP addresses, which we are not able to whitelist or predict."
"We faced some issues with the health check."
"The reporting could be simplified so that the client sees a report of what they cached at the end of the month and the number of hits. It should have metrics above and beyond their Google analytics, etc. You can't do that with the solutions from AWS. You have to build sophisticated cloud trails, reports, dashboards, etc. The setup is significant, and it's hard to manage. You'll need to hire someone or pay a consultant on a regular basis to manage it, and it's not for the faint of heart."
"The security of the product could be adjusted."
"The working speed of the solution needs improvement."
"The tool is a pain to deal with when it comes to the area of configuration."
"The product could be easier to use and implement."
"Needs easier integration with the existing SIAM."
"The configuration is very specific right now and needs to be much more flexible."
"The solution has many limitations. You cannot upgrade the VPN to the application gateway. So I started with version one, which has limited capabilities, and they provided version two. And unfortunately, I cannot upgrade from v one to v two like other services. So I have to decommission the version one and create a new one with version two. Also the version one was complex with the certificates uploading the SQL certificates."
"The tool's pricing could be improved."
