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."I rate Microsoft Azure Application Gateway's scalability a ten out of ten. My company has more than 1000 users who use it daily."
"The most valuable feature is WAF."
"It is a scalable solution...The installation phase of Microsoft Azure Application Gateway is very easy."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the web application firewall (WAF)."
"We use the product in front-end and back-end applications to do the load balancing smartly."
"I like the tool's stability and performance."
"The solution has built-in rules that reduce alerts and are easy to configure."
"The solution was very easy to configure. It wasn't hard at all to adjust it to our needs."
"The device blocks threats and allows legitimate users to work correctly."
"With Alteon, the load-balancing options are practically unlimited. We haven't had any issues with offloading, decryption, putting in cookies, or any other load-balancing features. We can check URLs, etc., on the back end for load balancing instead of running a TCP check. We're also doing some certificate stuff on there. Alteon covers all of the standard load-balancing techniques, and we employ most of them daily."
"The best part is that we are able to manage it easily. It is easy to manage and easy to integrate with third-party applications."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its stability. During the time that I have been using it, it has not undergone a service failure... And with the integrated application protection, we have not suffered from attacks anymore."
"The most valuable aspect is that it establishes user security."
"I like the web GUI. It's very intuitive and easy to use."
"The integrated application protection provided by Alteon is very good. It really helps to avoid false positives in some cases. It provides important granularity to avoid a situation in which security or cybersecurity scenarios escape us."
"I am finding SSL-TLS acceleration the most valuable function, with certificate management. It is easy to generate certificates and assign them to services"
"The support can be improved when you are configuring the system rules. The Disaster Recovery feature can be added in the next release. The price of the solution can be reduced a bit."
"It could be easier to change servicing."
"In the next release, the solution could improve the integration with Service Mesh and other Azure Security Services."
"Microsoft needs to work on their documentation."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing model."
"It does not have the flexibility for using public IPs in version 2."
"One of the challenges we faced was the solution does not support any other PCP protocols apart from HTTP and HTTPS."
"The solution doesn’t support wildcard-based and regular expression-based rules."
"Performance could be improved."
"Support is an area that needs improvement."
"We’d like the solution to include more security features in the standard license."
"We don't integrate anything with it because most things don't integrate with Radware. If it were F5, we could integrate it. We can integrate F5 with practically anything that integrates with a load balancer, but that's not the case with Alteon."
"I would like for the load balancing to work with premier and the cloud, a mix of premium and cloud."
"The GUI needs to be improved. Right now, the solution isn't so user-friendly."
"A feature that I would like to see included in the next version might be a better analysis when working with crypt issues. Right now, it is very manual; you load it into Alteon and it runs. It would be interesting to see a more dynamic process."
"I would like to see the loading documentation improved."
