"We use the product in front-end and back-end applications to do the load balancing smartly."
"We find it valuable because it is compatible with our existing Azure solution."
"The tool helps manage microservices by providing developers with a platform to conduct tests and assessments on the web application. The custom domain option is one of the most valuable features I've found. This feature is incredibly helpful for the end-users of the web application. With the custom domain feature, you can change the lengthy link to a shorter, more memorable one. For example, instead of using a lengthy default link, you can customize it to something like imail.com, which is much easier to remember and share."
"The most valuable feature is WAF."
"Good customization; able to report and take action on alerts."

"Microsoft Azure Application Gateway is harder to manage than Imperva. It is not intuitive and stable compared to other products."
"It is a bit tricky to configure. You've got to have a very specific format to configure it. They should make it a little bit easier to configure.

"It takes a lot of time for a certificate to update in the system. That is a huge drawback, affecting the load-balancing side. And when there are changes to the load balancing, it affects the end-user."
"The solution should provide more security for certificate-based services so that we can implement more security on that."
"The tool is a pain to deal with when it comes to the area of configuration."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing model."
"The pricing of the solution could be improved. Right now, it's a bit expensive."
