We performed a comparison between Citrix Web App and API Protection and Microsoft Azure Application Gateway based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Web Application Firewall (WAF) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I prefer this solution because of its user-friendly interface. I find it simple and close to what I am currently using, which is Citrix Fortiva Access for Multi-Factor Authentication. I appreciate the familiar user interface and troubleshooting tools it offers."
"We have good customer support."
"The web application firewall which protects our services on the internet, and then of course services like our ability to provide high availability for the services we are offering are the most valuable features."
"The solution's technical support is good."
"Citrix Web App API Protection allows you to enable a blocking mode"
"The stability is good. If there is a problem, the load will be shifted to other sites automatically, which has been a good experience for us."
"I like the solution's simplicity compared to Citrix's on-prem solutions."
"The advantage of Citrix Web App and API Protection is just its graphic user interface for beginners. The solution is nothing special, but we have to use it for the corporation. Another advantage of Citrix Web App and API Protection is that we have our copy to test things and get the know-how of it."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Azure Application Gateway is its ease of use."
"The simplicity of the solution and its ability to integrate easily with others are its most valuable aspects."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is traffic management."
"Microsoft Azure Application Gateway gives us a lot of benefits, including domain mapping."
"The solution has built-in rules that reduce alerts and are easy to configure."
"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."
"The production is a valuable feature."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"The reporting is not so good. They don't have an application to connect the logs."
"An area for improvement in Citrix Web App and API Protection is for it to give real-time notifications and alerts. It would be practical if the solution warns you if there's an attack or if the load or traffic volume increases or decreases. An additional feature I'd like to see in Citrix Web App and API Protection is a prediction or artificial intelligence on what is happening, for example, attacks."
"The solution's pricing is a big concern and should be improved."
"Their upgrades are not very backward compatible, and sometimes they mess up."
"I am not an expert in this solution, but simplicity and user-friendly interfaces are crucial for me. I would appreciate advice from Citrix, particularly in the form of an interactive guide for API protection. It would be helpful if they could provide specific points and recommendations for cybersecurity, indicating areas that need attention or improvement. I find such interactive guidance valuable."
"Security could be improved because then I can get rid of my Cisco firewalls. If they improve the security then I could run my security, my proxy, my firewalling and my SDN solution on one device instead of having to have multiple devices."
"The configuration for its web application firewall is complicated."
"Citrix Web App and API Protection could improve in the area of licensing"
"The pricing of the solution could be improved. Right now, it's a bit expensive."
"Microsoft Azure Application Gateway could improve by allowing features to use more third-party tools."
"I want the solution's support to improve. The tool is also expensive."
"The pricing of the solution is a bit high. The solution should offer different pricing systems."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing model."
"In the next release, the solution could improve the integration with Service Mesh and other Azure Security Services."
"It could be easier to change servicing."
"The solution is easy to use overall, but the dashboard could be updated with a better layout and graphical design so that we can see the data a bit easier. Microsoft could also add more documentation. The documentation Microsoft provides doesn't tell us about resource requirements. We found that the instances we had weren't sufficient to support the firewall, so we had to increase them."
